What does a format painter do on Microsoft Word?

  3. Click into or select the text that you want to copy the formatting to.

What are the full versions of Windows 7?

Windows 7 StarterWindows 7 Starter is the edition of Windows 7 that contains the fewest features. The Windows Aero theme is not included in this version. Windows 7 Starter is only available in a 32-bit version. The desktop wallpaper, and Visual Style (Windows 7 Basic) is also not user-changeable. This edition is available pre-installed on computers, especially netbooks, through system integrators or computer manufacturers using OEM licences. Windows 7 Home BasicWindows 7 Home Basic is available in emerging markets such as Argentina, Brazil, the People's Republic of China, Colombia, India, Pakistan, the Philippines, Mexico, Russia,Thailand, and Turkey. It is not available in first world countries including in Western and Central Europe, North America, Hong Kong, Australia and Saudi Arabia. Some Aerooptions are excluded along with several new features. Home Basic, along with other editions sold in emerging markets, include geographical activation restriction, which requires users to activate Windows within a certain region or country. Windows 7 Home PremiumThis edition contains features aimed at the home market segment, such as Windows Media Center, Windows Aero and multi-touch support. Windows 7 ProfessionalThis edition is targeted towards enthusiasts and small business users. It includes all the features of Windows 7 Home Premium, and adds the ability to participate in a Windows Server domain. Additional features include operating as a Remote Desktop server, location aware printing, Encrypting File System, Presentation Mode, Software Restriction Policies (but not the extra management features of AppLocker) and Windows XP Mode. Like Enterprise, Microsoft will support this edition until 2020. Windows 7 EnterpriseThis edition targets the enterprise segment of the market and is sold through volume licensing to companies which have a Software Assurance contract with Microsoft. Additional features include support for Multilingual User Interface (MUI) packages, BitLocker Drive Encryption, and UNIX application support. Not available through retail or OEM channels, this edition is distributed through Microsoft Software Assurance (SA). As a result it includes several SA-only benefits, including a license allowing the running of multiple virtual machines, and activation via VLK. Like Professional, Microsoft will support this edition until 2020. Windows 7 UltimateWindows 7 Ultimate contains all of the same features as Windows 7 Enterprise, but unlike the Enterprise edition, it is available to home users on an individual license basis. Windows 7 Home Premium and Windows 7 Professional users are able to upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate for a fee using Windows Anytime Upgrade if they wish to do so. Unlike Windows Vista Ultimate, the Windows 7 Ultimate edition does not include the Windows Ultimate Extras feature or any exclusive features as Microsoft had stated. However, even though it is the consumer equivalent to Enterprise, Microsoft will only support Ultimate until 2015, as per Home Premium. N EditionsWindows N Editions are available for both upgrades and new purchases, for the Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise and Ultimate editions of Windows 7. The features in the N Editions are the same as their equivalent full versions as well as the same price, but do not include Windows Media Player. The cost of the N Editions are the same as the full versions, as Windows Media Player can be downloaded without charge from Microsoft for the N Editions. This comes after an EU lawsuit in which Microsoft was sued for not allowing competition. Before Internet Explorer is launched, a browser choice dialogue is brought up to ask the user which browser they want, however Internet Explorer is still installed. VL BuildsVL Builds work with VLKs (Volume License Keys). Volume license keys can be used to activate multiple installations of the software without any mechanism (such as a product activation mechanism) checking the total number of installations. The license for the software will place restrictions on the use of the key. Typically the license will limit the key to a fixed number of installations which must only be within the licensee's organization and also place the licensee under an obligation to keep a record of the number of installations, keep the key confidential and possibly even require that the licensee organization makes itself available for a software licensing audit to verify that its use of the key is within the terms of the license.

Does formatting the OS on a partition several times damage the hard disk?

No formatting a conventional hard drive does not slow down the hard disk.

When we talk about formatting, this means the removal of all data on the disk as well as the operating system (OS). This is often done in order to reinstall a faulty OS or to install a now one.

Basic formatting of the drive deletes the file allocation table leaving the drive "empty" to be installed over (similar to a major delete, but without the recycle bin option); low level formatting of the drive (normally done through the motherboards ROM system) "wipes" all contents of the drive.

I suppose the notion of formatting the drive and slowing it down comes from the fact that the read/ write function performed by the disks heads may in some way damage the disk. This is simply not true.

HOWEVER, solid state drives should not be continually formatted and should not have any form of optimisation software run on them. They work according to different principals (as opposed to a magnetic drive), and continual reading and writing of data to the sectors does actually cause them to become "worn", the entire cluster is then no usable; the unusable clusters are stored in a portion of the memory so that the computer cannot access them and try to store data over the "bad cluster". The same applies to flash drives as they are a smaller version of a solid state drive.

How do you copy and paste in excel?

What is Service Pack 4 for Windows 2000?

I am not sure why this question has been asked. A service pack is nothing more than a group of updates packaged together and sometimes integrated into a release of an operating system. Windows 2000 is long obsolete and nobody should still be using it. Windows XP came out AFTER 2000 and it is obsolete and now longer supported.

Why do you use print preview?

One use would be to see how your work would look when it is printed. You can have a look at it from a different zoom angle and you would be able to see whether the font is readable from that distance or whether the pictures are too small, or whether the title needs to be bigger, and you can see the whole sheet together - not just 1 third of it or something. It is also possible to adjust margins in Print Preview.

How does the switch learn the Mac address?

Each Ethernet frame sent from one computer to another includes the source and the destionation MAC addresses. It is from these addresses that the switch learns what device is connected to the port.

At first, the switch won't know the destination address; in that case, it will broadcast the frame through all of its ports. But soon it learns this information.

It is also possible, in some switches, to add the MAC address through configuration commands.
