TechTips – Helpful Hints for using ENMU Technology (courtesy of ITS Computing)
Computing
There is a new employee at ITS and his name is "Hot-Key Henry". He does not like to use the mouse, as a matter of fact, he hates "meeces to pieces". Hot-Key Henry would like to begin sharing each week some of the hot-keys he has learned through the years to assist you in becoming a productive user again before you were tainted by the mouse. So be looking forward to a hot-key tip each week.

Hot-Key Henry tip for today: To quickly close out an application or a folder, press and hold down the Alt key, then press the F4 key (Alt-F4). If you are in an application and have not saved the document, the system will remind you to save.

Floppy disks are a good way to temporarily store your documents or move from one computer to another, however, you must provide the utmost care when storing or carrying the disks. The disks cannot be placed near a magnet, a cell phone, in direct sunlight, or be near any static electricity.

Telephony
Muting a call:
This will allow you to hear the other party but they cannot hear your side of the conversation.

To activate: Press the "Mute" key.
To cancel: Press the "Mute" key again.
For questions or help with dialing instructions, programming, or setting up voice mail, call Linda Hamrick at extension 2287.
