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.

8 Surprising Facts about Google

Google has become an essential part of our lives.  We have often heard people saying let’s “Google it.” Users can search for the information they desire by entering keywords and using operators. In March 2007, Google was noted as the most visited website, having over 528 million visits for the month. Here is a list of 8 interesting facts about Google

#1. Fact 1:

When you sit down at your computer and perform a Google search, the machine checks  the google index to determine the most relevant search results to be delivered to you. Google's search engine is a powerful tool; it takes over 200 factors into account before delivering you the best results for your query. Google uses a special algorithm called the Googlebot to generate search results.

#2. Fact 2:

Google owns a cluster of domains such as, Gooogle.com, Gogle.com, and Googlr.com, which directs to Google.com. Interestingly, Google also owns 466453.com, which is strange. Take a look at your telephone keypad, and match up the numbers to the letters “4 GHI 6 MNO 6 MNO 4 GHI 5 JKL 3 DEF,” that is “466453= Google.” So if you type any of these knowingly or unknowingly, it doesn’t take you to some strange page, you will still land up on Google.com.


#3. Fact 3:

When Google was founded in September 1998, it served ten thousand search queries per day. Currently, there are more than 2 million Google searches per second. The search engine finds a trillion unique URLs on the Web, crawls many billion sites a day, and processes numerous searches every month. Current Google search volume estimates are delivered through statistical analysis.

#4. Fact 4:

Google takes on the best projects that could change the world for millions of people. In 2012, Google introduced the Cherokee language in Gmail. While Google has continuously expanded its language support for Gmail and its other services, this was the first time that Google added a Native American tribal language to its list. As part of this effort, Google also added Cherokee to its recently launched virtual keyboards for Gmail. This has been helping the younger generation to communicate with the elders.

#5. Fact 5:

The concept of the Google Doodle was formed on August 30, 1998 when company co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin placed a simple stick-figure drawing behind the second "o" in the word “Google”. This first Google logo art was planned as a message to the website's users that the founders were "out of office" at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada desert.

#6. Fact 6:

Advertising is one of the biggest drivers of the search giant’s revenue gains. In 2013, about 91% of Google's $55.5 billion revenue was derived from its advertising programs. Google's AdWords allows advertisers to display their advertisements in the Google content network, through either a cost-per-click or cost-per-view scheme. The sister service, Google AdSense, allows website owners to display advertisements on their website and earn money every time the ads are clicked.

#7. Fact 7:

Google's search index is more than 100 million gigabytes in size. It would take 100,000 one-terabyte personal drive to contain the same amount of data.

#8. Fact 8:

Google might be the only company with a clear goal to reduce the amount of time people spend on its site. The company uses a policy often called Innovation Time Off, where Google engineers are encouraged to spend 20 percent of their work time on projects that interest them.

Important Cat Judgement regarding MACP

IMPORTANT CAT JUDGEMENT

DECLINING REGULAR PROMOTION BEFORE THE DATE OF IMPLEMENTATION OF ACP OR MACP SCHEME SHOULD NOT BE A BAR FOR GRANTING ACP/MACP

Refusal to accept promotion, earlier to 09.08.1999 when the ACP scheme was promulgated, does not make an employee ineligible for grant of first financial benefits under ACP scheme when the scheme came into force only on 09.08.1999

Facts: The Applicant (who was appointed on 08.03.1980), while working as Radio Mechanic in India Meteorological Department refused his promotion due to family circumstances, when his promotion order was issued on 30.07.1998.

The Assured career Progression Scheme came into force on 09.08.1999. The Applicant having completed 12 years of service and stagnating in the same post of Radio Mechanic was rejected for the financial benefit of ACP on the ground that he refused his promotion when offered on 30.07.1998 earlier to the introduction of ACP scheme on 09.08.1999.

Modified Assured Career Progression Scheme (MACP) was introduced for financial upgradation on 19.05.2009. As per this scheme, an employee will be entitled for three financial upgradation after completion of 10, 20 and 30 years of continuance of service. The Applicant became eligible for 1st ACP in 2000 and 2nd MACP in 2010. The grievance of the Applicant is that, he was denied 1st ACP and 2nd MACP. Hence he filed this OA challenging the Office Orders 10/11-12-2008 and 20-9-2010 whereby he was denied the financial upgradation.

The Respondents state that he refused promotion issued by Order dated 30.07.1998. In terms of DoP&T O. M. No. 35034/1/1997 Establishment (D) (Vol. IV), dated 18.07.2001, the Applicant cannot be said to stagnate in the same post. Hence the 1st ACP benefits was refused. The Applicant annexed the judgement of Bombay Bench of the Tribunal as appeared in Swamynews of July, 2008.

The Bombay Bench of the CAT held that “If an employee has refused the promotion before the enforcement of ACP Scheme, the facts would remain that he has actually not been given any financial upgradation which he could have been before regular promotion. He remains on the scale of pay still stagnated”. In view of this clarification, the clarification of Respondents cannot be accepted. Ernakulam Bench of CAT in OA No. 768 of 2005 considered condition No. 10 makes it amply clear that if an employee is accepting ACP benefit, he is deemed to have given unqualified acceptance for regular promotion on occurrence of vacancy subsequently”. That precludes factoring of past refusal while given ACP benefit.

In view of the above, refusals of promotion earlier to 9-8-1999, has no effect on the grant of financial benefit under ACP scheme. Hence, the clarification given no Doubt No. 38 by DoP&T cannot be accepted in this case as the Applicant herein refused promotion earlier to the coming of ACP Scheme. In that view, refusal of grant of 2nd financial upgradation under MACP scheme amount to punishing him for the second time. Hence, the eligibility of benefits under ACP scheme has to be recknoned on the actual date namely 9-8-1999. Hence declaining promotion earlier to 9-8-1999 is no reason to deny the first ACP introduced on 9-8-1999. Hence, a direction was given to Respondents to grant the Applicants benefits under the ACP scheme irrespective of the fact of their refusal of promotion earlier to 9-8-1999. Time given for implementation was 6 weeks.

In view of the above, same relief given by Bombay Bench is to be followed in this case also.

In the result, the impugned Order, dated 10/11-12-2008 and 20-9-2010 are set aside. The Respondents are directed to grant financial benefits under the ACP scheme to the Applicant in 12 weeks from the date of receipt of this order.

This the OA stands allowed.

What is the Difference Between Log Off, Restart, and Shut Down?

A concept users frequently have difficulty with is the difference between “logging off,” “restarting,” and “shutting down” a system. This article will clear that up.

Tech support staff will often instruct users to take a specific action, such as “log off your system” or “power down the system.” Confusion between these terms can cause problems and waste the time of the support staff and the end user, so these are good, simple terms to understand.

To shut down (or power down, or power off) a system means that, when the process of shutting down is complete, the machine is powered down, and it will not come back up again without a someone taking further action, e.g., powering it back on again. If you expect your system will be needed for maintenance or remote access by someone else, shutting it down effectively prevents this.

To restart (or reboot) a system means that the computer goes through a complete shutdown process, then starts back up again. This is frequently required after software installations or during troubleshooting.

To log off a system means that the user who is currently logged on has their session end, but leaves the computer running for someone else to use. This is faster than a full restart and, generally, a better choice during the course of the business day when a system is shared between multiple users.

To power on a system means that you simply press the power button and let the system come up to a login prompt.

If you enter your username and password, you have gone a step further and have logged on.

If support staff instructs you to take a specific action, it is in everyone’s best interest that you do exactly what was suggested, and not something else. For instance, if you are instructed to “power on” your system, just power it on, but do not enter your username and password. Similarly, if you are requested to log off, just log off, but do not shut it down.
