Using Quick Search Speaking of quick searching – highlight any text on a page, right-click on it, and click the “Search” option on the context menu. This launches the search in your default engine. (Select your default engine in the box in the upper right corner of FF.) Using Mouse Shortcuts Here’s a few ways to use your rodent more efficiently. 1) Click the scroll wheel on any web link to open that link in a new tab without making that Tab active. 2) Click the scroll wheel on a tab to close it. 3) Pressing Shift and then scrolling the wheel backward is like clicking the “Back” button and scrolling it forward (you guessed it). 4) Pressing Ctrl and scrolling zooms text in and out. Using Keyboard Shortcuts As I told my students for years, nothing makes a PC user more efficient than using keyboard shortcuts. Here’s your official guide to FF’s shortcuts. Firefox Keyboard Shortcuts PRESS Ctrl+hyphen Ctrl+Plus Ctrl+0 (Zero) Ctrl+Down Arrow Ctrl+F Ctrl+G (or F3 or Alt+N) Ctrl+D Ctrl+J (Ctrl+Y on Linux) Ctrl+K Ctrl+L Ctrl+n (where n is a number) Ctrl+S Ctrl+T Ctrl+W Ctrl+Tab or Ctrl+Page Down Ctrl+Shift+Tab or Ctrl+Page Up Alt+Enter F5 F6 F7 Shift+F3 Alt-Home Spacebar Shift-Spacebar TO Decrease text size Increase text size Restore text to normal size Select next search engine in location bar Find content by search string Repeat last Find operation forward Bookmark current page Open download manager window Go to Search box Go to the address bar Go to the nth tab Save current page as file Open new tab Close current tab Move to the next tab Move to the previous tab Open URL in a new tab Reload (refresh) current page Move to next frame Toggle caret browsing Repeat last Find operation backward Go to home page Page down Page up “Windows Hot Tips 3” and More Windows Hot Tips 3 covers all the tips and other stuff presented in my column from January 2004 to January 2007 (including graphics). Order yours today (it will be greatly appreciated). Like its predecessors, it makes a great quick reference because it’s divided into sections, each of which contains related tips. There are two other booklets in this Hot Tips series, Windows Hot Tips 1 and 2. A single copy of each is $6.50 (sorry for the rise in price, but printing costs demanded it). Bulk prices are: $6.00 for 2-9 copies of the same title and $5.50 for 10 or more copies. If you’d like to help with costs (not required), add 50 cents for any number of booklets you order. Doc’s Giant Utility Collection on CD is still postage paid at $14 (2-5 copies $13 each, and 6 or more copies $12 each). Send orders to: MicroManuals; PO Box 235; Meeker, CO; 81641. Thanks again for your faithful support. God bless. Christian Computing® Magazine August 2008 20
special feature Why We Switched… As we start this new column in CCMag, I am excited to see where it will lead. Each month we will interview a church and ask them to tell us why they switched from one Church Management Software (CMS) to another. Why did they switch? How did they make the decision? What were the benefits? To make things fair we will try to ask the same questions each month even though we might be interviewing a small church or a mega-church. In addition, while we will tell you what product the church switched too, we are going to keep the product they switched from anonymous. Every product, if it is still on the market, has a value and customers that love them. However, there is no one product that is right for everyone. Hopefully through this series, we will discover how a church comes to recognize the need for a change, and how they accomplish the switch. This month we interview Doug Gouley, Administrator of the Offering Computer at Bayfair Baptist Church in Pickering Ontario. By Steve Hewitt We have one Chaplain and two Donarius Administrators. Our office staff includes one Church Administrator and one Office Administrator. Our church also administers the Bayfair Baptist Daycare with approximately 120 children daily. 1. Tell us a bit about your church. (Average attendance, ministries, how many people are involved in administration) 2. Indicate some of the reasons you were looking Bayfair Baptist Church is a member of the Fellowship of Evangelical Baptist Churches.
