Inserting the Exact Data into Numerous Cells at the Same Time in Microsoft Excel 2010

Many of us have used the great auto fill features that Excel has to complete a list, but what about those few times when we need the exact same information in each cell?  Here is how you can do that without all the copy/ pasting.  First highlight all the cells you need to have the same text, and then just start typing the information you would like to have in all the cells (note: DO NOT try and click in a cell before typing this will just un-highlight all your cells.) When you have finished entering your information instead of hitting Enter, press CTRL+ ENTER and it will fill into all your highlighted cells.  This also works if you need the exact same formula in several locations of your spreadsheet.

Your Computer Lady Completes New Web Site - Mesa Market Place Swap Meet

A retail shopping mecca with 1600 merchants at high season, Mesa Market wanted a site to better display their upscale location and high end merchants. This is not your grandmother's swap meet.  We're talking screen doors, clothing, flooring, jewelry, binoculars, artwork and so much more.

Social media is a big part of the marketing plan. Your Computer Lady designed a page to pull together Facebook, Twitter and YouTube to strengthen each social media effort.

As a retail site, it is important to make critical information such as maps, hours, dates, special events front-and-center. The new site layout does this while keeping a clean, comfortable appearance.

Many entertainers are so popular that they have return engagements. Many events like the annual classic car show are annual.  The WordPress site allows Mesa Market to create an event page and re-use it year after year making simple updates.

Your Computer Lady Completes New Web Site - The Z Group

The Z Group is a site for a manufacturers' representative company.

• Lots of links to manufacturers' sites. They already have technical data on their sites so there is no need to re-invent the wheel.
• We used a lot of photos from the manufacturers. Good photography is an expense for a site. As a rep company, The Z Group has permission and is encouraged to use manufacturers' photos. Big cost savings!
• More technical data. Your website should be the repository for the technical data and information your clients ask for regularly:  a handing chart, industry standards, etc. Why email a piece of information 50 times a week when you could email a simple link to the data on your site? That's a great way to increase traffic on the site.
• Information your staff needs. You can store a tremendous amount of information on a website. You can have private pages that only staff have access to. Keep policies, forms and how-to documents accessible and consistent.
