Dear Computer Lady,
We have Windows 7 and would like to know how to send a page of a website via email.
In Windows XP, you just right clicked and it had a place that said, “Send”.
Dear Computer Lady,
My wife and I love your column! I just purchased a new Toshiba Satelitte A665D-S6051 laptop running Windows 7. Through a licensing agreement with Microsoft and the university I am attending, I was able to install a fully licensed download of Office 2010 to use while I am a student there.
My question is about Excel. Each time I double-click on a saved Excel spreadsheet I get an error message that reads: “there was a problem sending a command to the program.” Then a new blank spreadsheet opens and in order to open the saved sheet, I have to go to File and click on it there. Do you know of a way to fix this problem? I have gone into Excel, Options, Advanced and made sure the box that says something about “ignore…etc.” is unchecked.
Thank you for any suggestions or help, Don

Dear Computer Lady,
When I go to create an email in Windows Live Mail, the font color is red.
How do I set the font color to always be black?
Thank you answering my question, I feel a little less stressful knowing there is somebody out there I can turn to for questions.
I love games that are simple to learn, but also challenge me as I play them, and this game is one of those games!
Dear Computer Lady,
I just added a 23″ VG monitor to my Dell Vostro 1015 laptop and now can view and work on two screens at the same time (the monitor displays the document/program I’m working on, while the laptop screen displays my desktop, etc.).
I want to add another larger monitor to display my desktop, etc. instead of using the laptop screen so that I have two large screens and no small (laptop) screen. However, I only have one VGA output on the laptop.
How can I add a second large monitor to the setup? Judy

One of the parts of Word 2007 that I use all the time is the Quick Access toolbar.
This is a very small toolbar located at the top of your Word Window. When Word is first installed, the Quick Access Toolbar contains only three commands, Save, Undo, and Redo.

One of the first things that I added was the commands for “Quick Print” and “Print Preview”.
