... The Windows Run dialog. Start Windows Explorer: Windows-E Mnemonic: Windows Explorer. Find a File (from the Windows desktop): Windows-F, or F3 Mnemonic: Windows Find file dialog box. Open the System Properties dialog box: Windows-Break Mnemonic: Windows is broken; check the system properties. Rename the selected object: F2 Mnemonic: This is the same command Excel uses for editing the currently selected cell. This command and the next one also work within programs. For example, you can use these commands when working in the File/Open dialog box in Word or Excel. Note that after you select text in Word, F2 begins moving the current selection. You can then move the insertion cursor to the desired location and hit Enter. Delete selected objects without sending them to the Recycle Bin: Shift-Delete Mnemonic: A slightly shifted version of what happens when you hit Delete, which sends objects to the Recycle Bin. Be careful with this command. Under some conditions, it will delete a file without asking for confirmation. Bypass the CD-ROM AutoRun feature: Hold down the Shift key while you insert the disk. This is an invaluable tool when you have to remove a disk during installation (to read the CD key, for example), then reinsert the disk. View the Properties dialog for a selected object: Alt-Enter This works for such disparate objects as icons on the desktop, printers, hard drives, and the taskbar.

... from their documents to enhance their range of relationships. Here's my list of the 10 most common (and terrible) antiquated phrases in the insurance industry. See how many you find the next time you review a typical claims adjuster's or examiner's correspondence. Yours very truly. No, you're not! Use sincerely. Please be advised. This is standoffish legalese that really means tell' or inform. Above-captioned loss. Why not just name the loss instead of breaking the reader's train of thought? For example, if the caption says Insured: Jones Co., you could write the Jones Co. loss. Kindly. How about please'? Please do not hesitate. This was a light, bright phrase about 40 years ago, but now it's a cliché . Don't be the millionth person to recycle it. I have forwarded. You're not playing football! Use sent. Please note that. This sounds patronizing and makes me feel as though I should get out my notebook. Don't use it. Enclosed please find. Exactly what's to be found in your letter? Use I've enclosed' or enclosed is. And it's OK to say I' in business writing. After all, you are doing the enclosing. Under separate cover. This phrase reminds me of the lid of a big spaghetti pot. Say you're sending something separately, by Fed Ex, or however. Contact the undersigned. You are most often the undersigned - write contact me' or call me. Here are more old-fashioned phrases to avoid and possible substitutes: affords us the opportunity- gives us the opportunity as per our discussion ...

... present your products in the best possible light. In direct marketing campaigns designed to provoke a response of some kind, creativity often takes a back seat to other factors. In the 60-20-20 rule (or any of its countless variations), audience is essential, offer is everything, and creativity is merely compulsory. Nevertheless, copy remains king. Here's why: Without good copy, your perfectly-targeted audience might never understand that wonderful offer of yours or, even if they're suitably impressed, might not summon the energy to do anything about it. So whether you're penning an e-blast yourself, or reviewing your agency's draft of an upcoming self-mailer, it pays to know the difference between highly effective copy — the kind that commands high response rates — and the kind that just speeds your campaigns journey to the recycle bin. Nailed your lists? Got an irresistible offer? Great. Here are eight ways to make sure the copy does its job, too: 1. MAKE YOUR COPY APPROACHABLE Even great copy won't work if people don't read it. Present everything in digestible, "bite-size" chunks: Split up any paragraph longer than three lines. Present key selling concepts in a series of bullets. Use ellipses ( ) both within sentences and at the end of serial bullets to keep the readers eye moving .. Sprinkle the page (or screen) with subheads (preferably bold or underlined, unless you're working in text-only e-mail) . Add more bold and underline treatments. For every important idea. Remember, some readers skim only the big-and-bold; others might decide to read more, but only ...

... commercialism. Most publications won't let you directly mention your own product. But you can sometimes get your commercial message across indirectly. A sales pitch, if subtly disguised, may pass muster. And it will go over better with readers than overt commercialism. Keep the ‘buzz' down. Know your audience. In a trade publication, some industry jargon is usually okay. But if you're trying to get published in a more general publication, skip the buzzwords. When in doubt, always choose plain English. Simple words usually say a lot more than big ones. Follow up. Editors are notoriously pressed for time; some won't get back to you with an acceptance or rejection. So, politely follow up and ask the editors if they've received and reviewed the story yet. Recycle to get more bang for the buck. You've got the story published. The executive is basking in glory, sending copies to clients and colleagues. Now take the next step. Try to get the article published elsewhere. For instance, let's say that your article is about reducing the risks of employee lawsuits. It's pretty likely you can take the same article, or a slightly recast version, and publish it in a human resources magazine, a local business journal, and trades serving various industries. Reprint it. To get the most value from a published article, reprint it. Then you can add it to your sales kit or use it in direct mail. Executives can send copies to key contacts with a personal note. Henry Stimpson is president of Stimpson Communications (Wayland, ...
