Call-outs: Brief passages of text lifted from within the publication placed in larger type size (and occasionally font) to gain attention.  They are often inserted into the text (divided by the change of font/size, sometimes boxed, or with other graphics) as an element which breaks the text or copy.  Usually, it is "teaser" copy - attention-getting and draws readers into the item.

Clip Art: Commercially produced "stock" images, already prepared, many times found in collections.  Generally copyright free with some limitations, it can be "cut and pasted" directly into the publication. - see art

Terms marked with an asterisk (*) are not generally used in our office.

Computer aid!?!  - flashback from V2#1 - January 2003
How to print just that certain section only.
///////////////////////////////

Ever want to print out a small (or even large) section of a page or e-mail that was somewhere in the middle without printing our the entire page/message?  Here's what to do:

Highlight what you want to print (while holding your left mouse button down, slide your mouse over the text and then let up the button) and then on your keyboard hold down the control (ctrl) button while hitting the "p" key.  This will bring up a box to do with printing.  Toward the middle of the box on the left side is a "print range" area.  Click the circle next to "selection" and then the OK button at the bottom.  Yes, it's that simple. NOTE: if the page contains columns (with or without a table) this may get unexpected results - pay attention to what the mouse will let you highlight.

-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-
Note:  All references to "click" are using the left mouse button unless otherwise noted.
