How to Add Borders to Word 2010 Tables

Once you have created a table in your document, you may want to spiff it up a bit by changing the borders.

Luckily, it is not all that difficult to do in Word and there are several methods you can choose from to accomplish this, which are listed below:

• When you select your table or place your cursor in your table, you will notice that the Conditional Table Tools menu becomes available, where you will see both the Design and Layout tabs. In the Design tab, look in the Table Styles group where you will find the Borders tool.

• Under the Layout tab, in the Table group, click on the Properties command and Word will display the Table Properties dialog box, where you will find a Borders and Shading button.

• The Borders control on the Home tab of your ribbon, in the Paragraph group also works on tables.

• There is a Borders and Shading option on the context menu when you right-click in your table.
• The Draw table and Eraser controls found in the Tool’s Design tab, in the Draw Borders group will allow you to add and remove table lines one cell at a time.

If you click on the arrow of any of the various Borders tools, a drop-down list of ways to apply border lines to your whole table and individual cells will appear.

If borders have been applied to to the table cell where your cursor is, as in gridlines, the Borders control will be highlighted.

Interestingly enough, if your current cell does not have a border applied, but there are borders applied to any cell in your table then, at least one of the lines in the table in the borders control icon in your ribbon will be solid. It does not really stand out, so you will have to look closely to see it.

At the very bottom of the Borders drop-down list there are options to display the Borders and Shading dialog box and to toggle View Gridlines.

The Draw Table and Eraser tools are great for adding and removing one or two lines at specific locations in your table. The Draw Borders group can be found on the Design tab and it is the last one. It contains controls to set line thickness, color and style.

Clicking the Draw Table tool will convert your cursor to a pencil. Thereafter, clicking on any line in your table makes the line the color, style and thickness selected in the tool.

Clicking and dragging between any two lines in your table cell will split the cells along those line.

Clicking on the Eraser tool changes your cursor into an eraser that will delete any cell lines that it touches. The Esc key will cancel the eraser mode.

Regardless of which method you select to create your borders, there are myriad ways in which you can accomplish this task. Try them all and then make your decision on what best suits your particular needs.

How to Prepare for Competitive Examinations

Every student will have their own and different pattern to prepare for competitive exams. Most common method is byheart the subject. But it’s not so useful method for further use. So first we have to understand the subject what we are going to prepare. For example when we are preparing for groups at first we should have to know the syllabus. And then get the examination pattern and view the previous exam papers. And then we will get a basic idea about what we have to prepare.

Now in this article you’ll get some basic and most useful tips for preparing competitive exams and how to get success in an easy way. So follow our ultimate tips about competitive exams and get success at first attempt.

Follow Schedule Timings:

Most successful people say’s that they prepared for competitive exams for minimum 12 to 14 hours per a day. But every one doesn’t need that much of time. Because when we do this type of study we can’t understand the content perfectly and there are chances to loss our memory permanently. So we have to give a gap between preparations. For example we have to do study 2 hours and then give half an hour gap and then prepare another 2 hours. This type of study gives you mind relaxation and it gives most strength to prepare for exams.

Important Content Preparing:

Another common mistake every one do’s that they read every lesson page to page, each and every word of the lesson. In this method they will forget the important content of the lesson and they remember only the simple and straight forward method in the lesson. To escape from this type of problem at first once we have to read the lesson and underline the important matter in the lesson. And we have to note down the important content in a separate book. Because, writing is a one of the great methods to remember the important matters in the subject and it is also a helpful technique to improve our writing skills for obtaining good marks in exams.

Reading Books Regularly:

For some examinations we have to do too hard work. Hard work means not to expose physical stamina. That means we have to read number of books and need to gather useful content. For example if we want to know about the topic ‘geography’ we read only one book about the subject. But only one book does not give complete information about the geography. So we should need to read number of alternative books about geography. Like this, when we start reading any particular subject we need to read number of alternative books. So it gives much information about the subject. For useful books we should need to go to library every day.

Conduct Self Examinations:

We have to examine by ourselves it will gives good hand writing, memory and time saving in competitive exam. At first collect previous year examination papers and then conduct exam by yourself. Prepare new question papers by yourself or by your lecturers or experts. It will help to increase student’s mental stamina. Like this we have to self-examine number of times. In many top and successful coaching centers this is a most common method they use to prepare their students properly. For good own preparation there are number of question banks, study materials are published by experts and available in market.

What We Have To Prepare?

Prepare toughest problems at first and apply easy methods to solve the problems. And then go for the easy one. Thus, you can save the time for exam. Read important paragraphs and questions then go for other questions. When you know perfectly about the subject then teach that subject to your friends. That increases your memory power.

Competitive Spirit:

In competitive exams we can’t get success at once. We can able to receive failure and success equally once we failure in the exam it’s not means that we cannot get the success forever. Failure is the first step for success. So that’s why we have to prepare mentally strong to receive the result. We need to know about those people who got success already in previous competitive exams. It is not important to obtain their methods but it gives an inspiration for our career. This is called competitive spirit it’s very important for those who trying for success very hardly.

Coaching:

To prepare competitive exams coaching is a very important thing because we can read number of books for preparation but we cannot understand everything so easily. That’s why we have to approach our lecturers or advisers that who can explain it easily to you. For this, there are so many coaching centers are available. In coaching institutes the faculty is more experienced and they will give correct advice to solve the problems and how to prepare for exams in a simple way.

Discuss The Subject With Friends:

When we know a little about the subject we should need to express the doubts with your friends and core students. And it boost up our eagerness to know more about the subject and you can request your friends to know more about the subject and make a discussion about it at weekly once. And it gives fresh thoughts how to prepare for competitive exams.

Before The Examination:

Before examination we don’t have to read because it makes stress in our mind. Just we have to rewind the whole syllabus what we prepared previously. Some people take books in examination center and then read them so eagerly before the exam. In that time only some answers of questions will keep in our mind that what we read at last. So it’s becomes a big problem in an exam because we can’t get back answers of other questions quickly. So only we can write one question answer perfectly what we read before the exam eagerly. So we have to avoid reading before the examination time.

In Examination Time:

Few minutes before the examination we should have to relax ourselves and then read the question paper first to last and mark the questions what you can answer perfectly. Maintain good hand writing give a space between Para to Para and word to word. Write answers in an order. When you are writing objective type test first mark the answers that you know perfectly. Leave what you don’t know because in competitive exam you can gain negative marks for wrong answers. That’s why carefully answer the question. After marking the well-known answers you go for the next what you don’t know the question answers. But don’t waste the time because time is very important while competitive exams. Five minutes before the exam time coming to over you have to recheck the answer sheet that you can sure you didn’t make any mistake.

So friends follow our tips if useful and get success in competitive exams. God bless you and best of luck.

7 Things to know while buying a Laptop

Laptop designs and technology have changed considerably over the years and picking up a laptop that suits your needs and budget can be a challenging task. Follow these tips while buying a laptop…

1. Touchscreen

If you love gadgets that you can operate via touch, then a touchscreen laptop is right for you. For instance, the tile- and gesture-based Windows 8 interface is far easier to use with a touchscreen.

Touchscreen laptops also have a number of benefits. It is easier to scroll through web pages, start apps, browse images and view lengthy documents. In touchscreen laptops, you can also revert to traditional keyboard mode.

As of now, touchscreens are available in Windows only. A touchscreen laptop with Windows 8 can be purchased for less than Rs 30,000.

2. Weight and design

If you travel a lot, opt for a lightweight 12- or 13-inch laptop that offers good battery life. If your usage is mainly at home/office, go for a laptop with a 14- or 15.6-inch display that can be carried around occasionally.

If you are a gamer or photo/video editor who prefers a powerful machine, then consider getting a powerful 15.6- or 17-inch machine.

If your laptop travels with you all the time, then go for a laptop which has a metallic body instead of a plastic one. If your kids also use the same laptop, then go for a corporate model laptop built from metal to make it more durable.

3. Storage capacity

Optical drives are bulky, so they were the first to go. These days, unless you get a 15.6-inch laptop, optical drives are rare. Another change is the shift to flash based storage (SSDs) from hard drives or HDDs.

Flash storage is more expensive but less prone to failure and can be much smaller and offers better speed.

4. Operating system

Many people, just to save a few bucks, do not go for a pre-loaded operating system, without realizing that installing an OS on your own along with other software is a tough and time-consuming task. Also go for an operating system which you are familiar with.

5. Size does matter

If you need a laptop for your home office, then go for a bigger screen laptop as it not only improves your productivity but is also good for your eyes.

However, if you need a laptop to give presentation, then a light notebook with a small screen would be ideal.

6. Features

A good laptop needs to have a higher multi-core CPU like Intel and AMD CPU, which have multi-core have good speed. Also ensure that it has 3-4 USB slots.

7. Watch out

Do not buy re-certified or refurbished laptops. Buy from a reputed dealer or e-commerce sites, as well-known brands offer after-sale services and their laptops last longer.

DEFINITION 
a percentage is a number or ratio expressed as a fraction of 100.

if we have to convert percentage into fraction than it is divide by 100.

Example 1 :- if we write 45% then its equal to 45/100 or in fraction 9/20 or in decimal 0.45

if we have to convert fraction into percentage we have to multiple with 100.
Example 2 :- if we write 3/5 in fraction it is equal to 60%
                                    3/5x100=60.

the following fraction in red colour are MOST IMPORTANT.

Fraction	Percentage
1/1	100%
1/2	50%
1/3	33.33%
1/4	25%
1/5	20%
1/6	16.66%
1/7	14.28%
1/8	12.5%
1/9	11.11%
1/10	10%
1/15	6.66%
1/20	5%
1/25	4%
1/30	3.33%
1/40	2.5%
1/50	2%
1/60	1.66%
1/75	1.33%
1/80	1.25%
1/90	1.11%
1/100	1%

by this conversion table we can change fraction into percentage and percentage into fraction

EX:- if we have to find 2/5 in %?

In the table we know that 1/5=20%
then, if we multiply both by 2
then we have 1/5x2 = 2x20%
answer is 2/5 = 40%
so, you only to know basic fraction and percentage that given above.

in the inverse 
Ex. If we have to find out 1/15 fraction in percentage%?

In the table we have 1/5 = 20%

then both side multiple by 1/3

we get 1/15 = 6.66%

SOME BASIC QUESTION THAT IS ALWAYS ASKED IN THE EXAMS

TYPE 1. 
if there is increase of X% and subsequently X% decrease then there is always loss / decrease in the condition.

ex. If rohan salary is increase by 50% and subsequently decrease by 50%. How much percentage loss?

ans. By trick ----  50x50/100= 25% decrease/loss

TYPE 2.
if A is P% more than B. then B is less than by A 
 with P/(100+P)x100

ex. If radha earning is 25% more than sita. Then sita earning is how many percentage less then by radha?ans. By trick ---- 25/(100+25)x100=20%  

TYPE 3.

If A is P% less than B. then B is more than by A
 with P/(100-P)x100

ex. If golu age is 20% less than gita than gita age is how many percentage more than golu?
ans. By trick ---- 20/(100-20)x100=25%

TYPE 4.
if there is p% increase in price . how much % decrease his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not change. 
formula P/(100+P)x100

ex. If petrol price increase by 25%. How much percentage a person reduced his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 25/(100+25)x100=20%

TYPE 5. 
if there is p% decrease in price . how much % increase his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not change.
formula P/(100-P)x100

ex. If there is 30% decrease in eggs price. How much a person increased his consumption so that his expenditure on it does not increase?
ans. 30/(100-30)x100=42.85

TYPE 6.

Ex. If suman need 36% minimum mark to passed a exam but she score 24% mark and fail by 9 marks. What is the total mark?
