I'm a bit behind, so hang in there for the following tips:
Daily Tip:
Excel: Add A Check Mark (Fast)
You can insert a check mark into a spreadsheet via the Symbols menu, but a
fast way to do it is to select Wingdings (from the Font menu on the Home tab
of the Ribbon), press the ALT key, and type 0252. Note that you must use the
number pad. Another hint: scrolling all the way to Wingdings in the Font
menu is a pain. Instead, click it and then type wi. You're there: Press
ENTER and your cursor returns to the page with the Wingdings font.

Daily Tip:
Word: Add A Check Mark
Check mark symbols are easy to insert in Microsoft Word 2010. Click the
Insert tab on the Ribbon and then click Symbol. When the menu appears, click
More Symbols. When the Symbol window appears, click the drop-down menu next
to Font and then select Wingdings. Use the scroll bar to the right of the
symbols to scroll down until you see the check mark symbols. (They're at the
bottom of the list, in our experience.) Click the symbol you want, click the
Insert button, and click close. Your check mark is there.

Daily Tip:
PowerPoint: Automatic Slide Advance
Presenters commonly advance slides by clicking with a mouse. If you'd like
the slides in PowerPoint 2010 to advance automatically after a period of
time, click the slide you'd like to change and then click the Transitions
tab (in the Ribbon). Next, check the After box under Advance Slide in the
Ribbon's Timing group. At this point, you can use the Up and Down arrows to
select the length the slide should run. (You can also enter the time via
your keyboard keys and then press the ENTER key.)

Daily Tip:
Excel: Add A Chart Title With Chart Layout
The Chart Layout feature is one way to easily add a title to your chart in
Microsoft Office Excel 2010. Click your chart to make the Chart Tools tab
section (which includes Design, Layout, and Format tabs) appear on the
Ribbon. Click the Design tab (if it isn't already selected) and then find
the Chart Layouts group. Click Quick Layout and then choose a layout that
has titles in the places you want them. Finally, click the title to enter
new text.
