Daily Tip:
Outlook: Expand Instant Search

By default, Instant Search in Microsoft Office Outlook 2010 searches only the 
current folder. If you'd like it to search all of your folders, click the File 
table and then click Options. When the Outlook Options window appears, click 
the Search tab and then click the All Folders radio button in the Results 
section. You can check a nearby box to add the Deleted Items folder to the 
search.
 
  Daily Term:
Text

Text is data that a computer stores, and it is represented as words, sentences, 
paragraphs, and punctuation.

Terms associated with text:

text cursor: An on-screen indicator that marks a specific location within text. 
When typing text, the cursor marks the location where the next character typed 
will be placed. When editing existing text, the cursor is used along with the 
mouse or certain keyboard keys to select text for manipulation. Once text is 
selected, you can replace, delete, cut, or copy it, or you can change its 
attributes, such as the style of font. The cursor is moved to different 
locations using the mouse or directional arrow keys on a keyboard.

text editor: A program that lets a user input text and save the text as a file. 
Notepad, a standard Windows component, is an example of a text editor. Although 
programs, such as WordPerfect or Word, let a user edit text, they are generally 
referred to as word processing programs. The difference lies in the capability 
for advanced manipulation of text that is found in word processing programs but 
generally not in a text editor. Text editors tend to be basic programs that let 
a user enter and edit generic text, but they are not capable of performing a 
wide range of special formatting.

text flow: The spanning of one body of text across more than one text 
placeholder. In desktop publishing programs, documents may contain more than 
one text box, which is a defined region into which text is inserted. The 
automatic flow of text is something that you can turn on or off within the 
preferences of these programs. When automatic flow is enabled, if one text box 
becomes full without holding all of the entered text, the excess text will 
automatically be placed into the next text box.

text mode: A display mode in which a computer monitor displays only text 
characters and no graphics. This was the primary type of interface in the days 
of DOS.

text-only: A mode in which only text is displayed, without graphics. Some Web 
sites provide a text-only version that loads much faster than the 
graphics-based version.

text-to-speech: The technology of converting written text into audible words 
and sentences.

text wrap: A feature found in text editors and word processing programs that 
automatically starts a new line of text when the right edge of the text area or 
window has been reached.
