WEBSITE LIVE
It’s alive! We are sure you have been to our old website and saw “New Website Coming in 2010” but for anyone who has worked on a website it always takes longer than expected. So here we are with a website that we hope is easy to navigate and will be a resource for people to not only know what services ITS can provide, but events we are putting on and what our staff is up to. You can also check out our Facebook Page and become a fan, we are always on the lookout for interesting news in the technology world and posting it through out facebook, and as everyone can attest, technology changes pretty quickly. Let us know what you think!

TECH TIP OF THE MONTH
Brought to you by Alandale Training a great resource online for tips and on-site computer training courses in Vancouver, BC. Visit their site at www.alandaletraining.com.
The favorite tip of the month for ITS was this one:
When you are creating a bulleted (or numbered) list in Word and you press Enter, Word automatically gives you a new line with another bullet (or number). But what do you do if you do not want the new line to have a bullet?
For instance, you want your bulleted list to look like this:
– First item
– Second item
– Third item
– Fourth item
The answer is to use Shift+Enter.
In the example above, when you have keyed in Second item, press Shift+Enter. Word gives you a blank line without a bullet. Then press Enter; a bullet appears and you key in Third item. This is also useful if you want an item in the bulleted (or numbered) list to have several paragraphs. Keep using Shift+Enter to give you a new line, until you are ready for the next bullet and then press Enter.
