What is the keyboard shortcut for header and footer?

Header and Footer comes under the View menu.

To shortcut to Header and Footer: Alt v h (Alt + V + H).

Remember, you can use Alt in combination with any underlined letter in a menu bar or menu. Even if the shortcut letter isn't underlined, still give the most appropriate-looking letter a try with Alt and see what happens.

Don't be afraid of mucking up something: you can always shortcut Ctrl z to Undo, or Alt e u (Alt + E + U) or Redo (Repeat): Ctrl y, or Alt e r (Alt + E + R), or Alt + shift + backspace.

Experiment with your keyboard: you usually won't break anything and you'll save heaps of time. The great thing with keyboard shortcuts, too, is you can key ahead: you can't do that with a mouse, and of course, the more you switch between keyboard and mouse, the more you challenge your concentration, which is tiring and distracts you from the work at hand.

It's well worth taking a few hours to learn to touch-type. Doesn't mean you mustn't ever look at the keys, unless you're aiming to become a top-flight super secretary; it just means your fingers will forever after remember which key is where, so you can devote most of your attention to your onscreen work instead of fishing for the right key.

Some people will insist they're fantastically fast just pecking away with one or two fingers, and don't lose any concentration that way. They're dead wrong, and also will suffer, if they use a keyboard regularly, from tendon and skeletal problems years down the track.

Doesn't seem important when you're younger, but ask one of the older generation who's been two-finger pecking for decades whether they're experiencing any mobility problems with their hands. Trust me, they are, and this can be terribly disabling for those who do fine, concentrated work with their hands for work or hobbies. I know people from jewellers and violinists to tailors and cake decorators who curse those decades-back keyboards.

For the same reason, it's a good idea to use a left/right mouse, so you can regularly switch hands for mousing. One higher-tech mouse for highly mouse-driven work, plus another basic model for working mainly with text, is great if you can acquire both.

At school or work it's in the school's or the employer's interests to keep things ergonomic; you can always approach admin or management and discuss ways to keep hands healthy.

Incidentally, the numberpad is designed to operate by touch: the '5' key has a raised indicator to tell you where to rest the middle finger of your right hand, just as the main keyboard has raised indicators on the 'f' and 'j' keys to show you where to rest your index fingers. It takes only minutes practice to learn to operate the numberpad by touch; you can still look at the keys if you like, but after a while you won't need to.

It's a worry to be in a bank or at a checkout and see operators pecking with one or two fingers at the numberpad, or, worse, at the main keyboard's number row. For home computer users it should be a priority to learn touch-operation and for workers it should be the employer's responsibility to ensure they know, or are taught by the employer, to work by touch. As I say, we're not talking no-glance at-the-keyboard, super-speed stuff here: just the basics required to maintain good health.

I personally wouldn't hire someone who might even just occasionally use a keyboard without being sure they had the basic skills to work by touch, or were willing to learn these skills during work time.

What is a vse file?

I have a four channel CCTV video recorder. Its called a "4CH DVR" I believe they are available from Maplin. When the recordings are downloaded they have the extension .VSE these can be converted to .AVI files by the "Video Server E" software that comes supplied with the recorder. The software is quite poor in my opinion as its not very flexable. Apparently the .VSE format cant be modified so it can be submitted as evidence in court. Ian-AT-IanRussell.co.uk

If you forget your administrator password of Microsoft Windows XP and guest account is off what to do to access windows without reinstalling it?

Well, I know two ways you can do this...

1.) If you have not put an administrative password on your BIOS then you can start your computer and after post press F8. That will bring up your OS Menu as I call it. When the Options screen appears start your computer up in Safe Mode and log on to the Administrators Account, There you can change the password. After you have changed the password log off and restart your computer.

2.) Find someone that has a Winternals disk. For on that disk is a tool called locksmith. With this tool you can change any Administrative password on any Windows platform anytime. (Very Dangerous Disk to have!!!)

What is online scheduling and offline scheduling?

Online scheduling is the useage of competitive analysis (or online algorithms) on scheduling problems. Online algorithms is characterized by making decision "online", which means a point in the time axe. In this point of time, we can not see the future jobs or tasks, whereas we only know the jobs or tasks before or at this point of time. In contrast, in offline scheduling problems, there is no the conception of "point of time". We are lords of the world. We stay outside the real world and can see the past and future (jobs or tasks). TThis aspect is called "offline". Since we can see the past and the future, we know the total knowledge of the problem before we make decision (not depending the time). Even use the simpliest method, such as enumeration, then we can obtain the optimal solution. Nontheless, by not knowing the future knowledge of problem, we must make decision. Then we use a critierion to meaure the performance of online algorithm, called competitive ratio. This is a conception like approximation ratio, compering the objective value obtained by online algorithm and that of offline (optimal) algorithm. Offline scheduling is concerned of the classical scheduling problems. Not introducing the conception of "online". Offline scheduling problem is scheduling problem.
