Microsoft Access MS Access Basics Tips and Trick-7

Adding Data An Access database is not a file in the same sense as a Microsoft Office Word document or a Microsoft Office PowerPoint are. Instead, an Access database is a collection of objects like tables, forms, reports, queries etc. that must work together for a database to function properly. We have now created two tables with all of the fields and field properties necessary in our database. To view, change, insert, or delete data in a table within Access, you can use the table’s Datasheet View. A datasheet is a simple way to look at your data in rows and columns without any special formatting. Whenever you create a new web table, Access automatically creates two views that you can start using immediately for data entry. A table open in Datasheet View resembles an Excel worksheet, and you can type or paste data into one or more fields. You do not need to explicitly save your data.

Microsoft word-office EDITING DOCUMENTS Tips and Tricks- 9

Special Symbols in Word 2010

Your keyboard may not have many characters available but you want to use those characters in your document, in such situation you have option to insert Special Symbols the way I have explained in this tutorial.
To insert symbols you use occasionally, follow the steps in this section. If you find yourself using a particular symbol frequently, you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

Insert Special Symbols:

Here is the simple procedure to apply zoom-in or zoom-out operation using view tab:
Step (1): To insert a special symbol, bring your cursor at the place where you want to insert the symbol. Click the Insert tab. You will find two options under symbol button (a) Equation and (b) Symbols. Click either of these two options based on your requirement. You would use equations while preparing mathematical or scientific or any similar document. For now I'm going to click Symbol button which is shown below.



Step (2): When you click Symbol button, a small list of symbols will appear as shown below.



Step (3): Now click on any of the available symbols in the box to insert that in your document at the selected location. If you do not find desired symbol in this small box then you can click at More Symbols option to have a wide range of symbols as shown below in the symbol dialog box. You can select any of the symbol and then click Insert button to insert the selected symbol.



Assign Shortcut Key:

You can assign a keyboard shortcut to type any of the available symbol. Following are the steps to assign Ctrl + Q key to insert © symbol which is one of the available symbol in the special symbols list:
Step (1): Assume you already have following 
symbol dialog box opened.



Step (2): Click the symbol for which you like to assign shortcut key. Next click Shortcut Key button which will display following Customize Keyboard dialog box.



Step (3): Now type the selected shortcut key in the shortcut key box. You press Ctrl + Q and then click Assign button to assign the shortcut key. You will see that chosen key will be added in the list of assigned keys. Finally use Close button to close the dialog box.
Step (4): Now try to type Ctrl + Q using keyboard directly and you will find that you are able to type © symbol without going into symbol dialog box.
