 | How Our Homepage Works ATTENTION ALL WORLDSTART NEWSLETTER READERS: PLEASE READ HERE! It seems as if there is still quite a bit of confusion going around about how our new homepage actually works. We all get numerous e-mails and phone calls everyday about it, so I wanted to take some time today to explain exactly how the homepage operates. It's really easy to follow, so I hope you all will take the time to read through this tip as I clear everything up! First of all, we feature a new Tip of the Day and Cool Site of the Day each day and they change everyday. Yep, that's right, we add new tips to the homepage everyday. So, if you happen to miss an issue of the newsletter, when you go to check out the homepage section, the tips will have already been changed. For example, if you missed yesterday's newsletter, but go back and read it today, the tips will be different. They're scheduled to change everyday, so you need to keep that in mind. Now, you can always search through our archives and find the tips you missed, but the link in the newsletter will give you different tips each day. If you want to browse our archives, simply go to www.worldstart.com and click on the Computer Tips tab at the top of the page. From there, you can type keywords in the Tip Search box to find certain ones. Just type in a couple words about what you're looking for and the tip should pop right up for you. So, even though our homepage changes everyday, there's still a way to find the tips you missed out on. Hopefully that puts us all back on the same page again. Let us know if you have any questions! ~ Erin Make sure you keep reading to learn all about runtime errors and why they occur, find out how you can see both titles and totals simultaneously in MS Excel and learn how you can keep track of your busy schedule with Windows Calendar. Also, find out how to get the most out of your landscape photos with today's digital photography tip and as always, don't miss Amanda's Cool Site of the Day!

Q: A: Basically, it's an error that occurs during the execution of a program. Runtime errors go along with the "bug" errors you may sometimes see as well. The error tells you your system has found certain bugs in the program you're using. The error also indicates some problems the creators of the program anticipated, but couldn't fix. There are various runtime error numbers, each referring to a different problem and they can occur in various programs, including Outlook Express and Internet Explorer. If you're hit with a runtime error, look at the assigned number and do a Web search for it. Chances are, you will find a quick fix. Here's an example of one runtime error that could come up: A common example of a runtime error is running out of memory. That could easily cause the error to show up on your computer. Runtime errors are fairly easy to recover from and they are nothing like a system crash. So, the next time your computer is invaded by a runtime error, you'll know what's going on and you'll know how you can go about fixing it fast! ~ Erin Have a question for the newsletter? Submit it at the link below: See Titles and Totals Simultaneously If you frequently work with large amounts of data in MS Excel you may find yourself frustrated as you try to see both the column titles (at the top) and the column totals (at the bottom) at the same time. You have probably tried to freeze the titles and then split the screen, thinking you could keep the totals in view in the bottom half of the split. But, of course, that didn't do the trick, because any rows that are frozen are released as the worksheet is split on the screen. In other words, Excel just doesn't seem to want to cooperate. So, is there a way around those limitations to still get what you want? Of course there is! In fact, there are a couple ways to do it. Some of you may have decided that the best way to see both the column titles and totals simultaneously is to put the totals at the top with the titles. That way, when you freeze the rows, you include the total row too. That certainly works, but if you're like me, you just really like your totals at the bottom of the data column. So, what now? Well, your solution can come in the form of a new window on the same file. Yep, you read that correctly! Excel allows you to open multiple windows of the same file and each one can be set to display a different area of the worksheet. With the workbook open, you're looking for the Window menu, New Window choice. Or, for Excel 2007, you need the View ribbon, New Window button. At this point, you have two windows open that contain the same workbook. To see them both, you need to arrange them properly. For this step, you need the Window menu, Arrange choice (Arrange All button on the View ribbon in Excel 2007). When the Arrange Windows dialogue box opens, choose Horizontal and then click OK. Now, you have two views of the same workbook. You can also use each window's border to resize as needed. For example, if all you want to see in the bottom window is the total row, you can scroll down to display the totals and make the window very narrow. You can then resize the top to fit the rest of the screen, maximizing your work space. I should also mention that you can freeze rows in either window, allowing you to really have things your way. Titles and totals visible at all times, just the way you like it! ~ April

Landscape Photography Do you tend to take even more pictures in the summertime? Do you take a lot of landscape shots? If so, you might as well add some spice to them by choosing alternate perspectives and compositions. Don't you agree? Then let's take a look at our options! The first example below shows a typical landscape photo: How boring! To add some pizzazz to your landscape photos, here are five things you can do: 1.) Get Down - So many good landscape shots miss the chance of being great, simply because you lift the camera to your face and shoot. That may capture some inspiring scenery, but it's exactly the kind of shot we're all used to. By getting low to the ground, you can improve your results and make your photos stand out. 2.) Tilt Forward - You can enhance the impact of your immediate location by tilting your camera forward and focusing on what's immediately in front of you. The rest of the landscape can make up the background.
4.) Seek Contrast - Include strong elements of light and shadow to achieve a more stunning effect.
Following these five rules will give you some of the best landscape photos you've ever taken. Happy shooting! ~ Ramachandran Kumaraswami For stories, jokes, quotes and cartoons every day, sign up for our Just for Grins newsletter. Have you ever wanted to make your own icons? Want a way to do it that's fast and easy? Well, you've come to the right place! You can make icons on this Web site in just three easy steps. 1.) First, create an image or choose one from your computer. To do that, just click on the Browse button and select it. Then click Open. 2.) Now, just watch the progress bar as your image uploads. 3.)

You can download them by clicking on the Download link beneath them or you can right click the image and select Save Target As. Both methods work!
