The start of the fall season is upon us. The hours the club is open from September through May is 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon on Saturday. Remember, our computer club is a non-profit organization, and all the work is done by volunteers. There are many jobs to do, and we can always use more help. So if you would like to help our club, talk to any of the club officers; and I am sure they can find you a job. I would like to welcome back any members who have been gone during the summer. There are lots of changes; just look around. We will have a new building in a year or so. Also, at the present time we are in the process changing from using CDs or DVDs for storage in our classes to the use of flash drives. If you do not know what those are or how to use them, it will be explained to you in classes or SIGs. And, remember, let’s make “CCSC ALL IT CAN BE.”

Genealogy SIG
Discover Your 
Family Tree
The Genealogy SIG, led by Tom Mulgrew, meets at
9:00 a.m. on the second
Wednesday of each month.
Anyone interested in doing their family history can join the Genealogy SIG to
discover how family history records can be easily kept
using various software programs.
I have used a few of these software
programs in the past, and presently I am using Family Tree Maker for keeping up
to date with my family history.
Genealogy as a hobby is enjoyed by many here in
Sun City.
If you wish to get started searching your roots or if you already have
a family history and would like to join us please check out our SIG.

TIPS -- For Viewing Web Pages -- Shortcuts for Internet Explorer 6 and 7 - Windows XP and Windows Vista
Increase or Decrease Text Size while viewing a Web Page
TIP:
If you would like to Increase the Text Size you
are viewing on a web page, Simply, Hold Down the
CTRL* Key on your Keyboard,
while
Scrolling Backwards with
your Wheel Button on your mouse. This will
increase the text size to the largest size.
To Decrease
the Text Size simply
Scroll Forward while
Holding Down the CTRL* key.
This should work
in any of your Web Browsers such as Internet Explorer.
Use your Spacebar as a Shortcut for Scrolling a Web Page
TIP:
Tapping
the Spacebar in a web browser will
Scroll Down One Page at a Time.
Try reversing this!
Hold down the Shift Key
while Tapping the
Spacebar will Scroll Back Up the Page.
This
is a great shortcut on a long web page.
Refreshing a Web Page
When you view a Web page, it is stored in a cache
on your computer. The next time you access that page,
it is loaded onto your
screen from the cache.
Therefore, you may not be seeing the latest version of
the page.
TIP:
Click on Refresh
or Reload
button at the top of your browser screen, or
press the F5 function key at the top
of your keyboard to refresh
the page and
see its latest version.
Control + F5
refreshes the current web page regardless of any time stamps.
Find box
TIP: There are a couple of
different ways to open the Find box to find
something on a web page. Control + F or
F3 both work the same way.
Search Bar
TIP:
Control + E will bring your
cursor to the Search Bar; if an old search is typed in,
it will highlight
it so you can type in the new search without leaving your keyboard.
History
TIP:
Control + H will show your
History.
Stop a new web page from loading.
TIP:
If you click the ESC key it will
stop a new web page from loading.
This comes in
handy if you see it has content you don't want, if it is in a different
language,
it is loading slowly, or you just change your mind.
Full Screen
TIP:
F11 toggles to and from "Full Screen" mode.
