New Task

-
I have a new task, creating tips and tricks for my 97-year-old mother so she can use her electronic devices.

 This one is for using her iPhone.  She has hearing aids that link into the phone, sometimes it doesn't work and she gets confused.  These are instructions to put the phone on speaker so she can hear.  Feel free to use it.

(If you want to find more options you can click on the format button and change other options before you click on New documents based on this template to save all changes.)

The Microsoft Word Menu Bar has been "upgraded" to a  Ribbon .   MAC Users: You still have a Menu Bar, if you can’t find what you are looking for on the Ribbon try looking in the Menus. At the top, you have  Menu tabs .  Each tab has a  Ribbon .   You will see that the  commands are grouped  on the Ribbon to make it easier for you to find what you are looking for. Home Tab/Ribbon (Part 1) UNDO GROUP The First group is " Undo ."  In this group, you can undo the last few things you did in the document and redo them if you undo too many. To  undo  something click on the  arrow pointing left .  To  redo  something click on the  arrow pointing right . There is supposed to be a limited number of undo commands, but I have never run into it.
