Thing #17 - Play in the Sandbox

I added my favorite things to the Sandbox. There are a lot of sports fans here. It is a little jarring with all the different colors but it's more of a colorful collage or mosaic that way.

I added a computer tip to your Wiki. It is something that stumped me for a long time and I think other people would find it very useful. It is about drawing shapes in Microsoft Word. I pasted the tip I added below.

Drawing

Do you find it difficult to use the new "Create your drawing here" box which pops up when you are trying to draw a shape? It isn't too user-friendly. Here's how you can turn it off.

Start with the Microsoft Word program open.

1. Click the "Tools" menu and choose "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click "General".
3. Uncheck " Automatically create drawing canvas when inserting AutoShapes ".
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.

You will now be able to create your shape without any extra boxes. You can see the final product as you draw it.
