Hello again. The post will be devoted largely to providing more Mac tips as well as more support with working with Mark Book. I hope you find it useful.
More Mac Tips:
1. Customize Desktop Icons- In the Finder, click View- Show View Options. Use the sliders to select icon size, spacing and labelling preferences
2. Set Login Items- To add or delete Apps that start up every time you login (including shared drives), open the System Preferences- Users & Groups- Select the Login Items tab- Check or uncheck items already listed. To select new Apps or files, click the + and browse to locate the items.
3. Quick Calculations Using Spotlight- Need to do a calculation on can't find your calculator? No problem. Just click on the spotlight icon (small magnifying glass in the top right-hand toolbar), type in your math problem and BINGO, the first resource that pops up is a calculator with the solution to your calculation.
4. Define words within Apps themselves- I love this one! In most APPS (including web pages), you can highlight the unknown word (by clicking and dragging across the word) and hold down control-command-D. The word will turn yellow and then a dictionary reference will pop up with everything you need to know about the word. Try it out!!!
5. Force Quit- To force apps that have frozen to quit (close), click Command-Option-Escape and the force quit window (like the Task List in Windows) will pop up. Select the App and "Force Quit."
