Red Underlined Words

Dear Computer Lady,

Enjoy your site very much. Your information is priceless. My question is misspelling words ( a lot) that become highlighted.

Is there a trick that I can use to let the computer give me the correct word? I am forever going to the dictionary. I have win XP and use google chrome.

How To Backup Chrome Bookmarks

Hello Elizabeth,

Enjoy your site very much. Your information is priceless. I use bookmarks extensively and it occurred to me, if chrome crashes all those sites are not backed up. How can I store them on my external drive? I have win XP and use google chrome.

How To Remove Kindle Books From My iPad

Hello Elizabeth,

I’ve subscribed to your newsletter for quite a while now, and have had some problems solved by you after reading questions posed by others.

My dilemma now is related to my Kindle and my iPad. I love being able to download books to the Kindle which my husband and I share, and I love being able to sync the books to my iPad. The problem I have is: I don’t know how to remove a book from the iPad once I have read it. I remove it on the Kindle (and it seems to still be archived when I do that) but it still appears in my Kindle library on the iPad. It seems so cluttered and I would like to get rid of the icon for a book I’ve finished. Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks for all you do for us iPad newbies. Read More…

How To Create Excel Template

Dear Computer Lady,

Is there a way to set Excel 2007 so that a header and footer appear on all new documents instead of entering it on each separate document?

I read your column all the time. Thanks for all you help, Jayne Read More…

How to Save Favorites & Mail

Dear Computer Lady,

I have a newer HP computer about 2 years old. It has become slow at startup and lots of virus scan popups when its running.

I think I should just reformat and start over but save my favorits and saved emails before I reformat to start clean. I can save documents on a flash drive easily but don’t know how to copy emails folders and favorites menu from IE9 and Windows Livemail.

Any advice on this? It would be a ton of copying and pasting if I copied URLs and emails individually.

Thanks, Mike Read More…
