A discussion was held about cookies and temporary files and a demonstration was given of the Temporary files and cookies that may be loaded whenever surfing the World Wide Web. Whilst there are settings within Internet Explorer to automatically delete all these temporary files a useful tool for ensuring that all Cookies are removed is Cookienator which may be downloaded from.

Demonstrations were also given on the settings for GMail and how information is stored in this E_mail solution.
A warning about some of the problems associated with the Microsoft Office 2010 Beta version that may be loaded from Magazine CD's was given.
Kate said that in Microsoft Word she was getting full stops between each word.
The solution maybe :
Click the Office Button | Word Options. In the Display category, clear all of
the check boxes (in particular, "Spaces") under "Always show these
formatting marks on the screen." Click OK.
For more on nonprinting marks, see

During the second session we looked at Microsoft Office 2010 and in particular how to Customize the Ribbon
This is a new feature which is included in the latest Office Software.
Starting off
Click on the trimmed down Office button then options and then Customize Ribbon.
Adding a New Tab
Office 2010 - Customise Ribbon main dialog
Click on New Tab
Click on the New Tab button and a new tab plus initial group will be added to the ribbon. Right-click on each to rename them.
Office 2010 - Customize Ribbon - new tab and renaming
(notice also that you can rename an in-built tab too)
You can position your ribbon anywhere along the strip.
Adding a group
You can add a group to any tab, custom or supplied. Here’s a simple group of style related icons:
Office 2010 - Customize Ribbon - new grouo on Home tab
which looks like this on the Word 2010 ribbon. You can see a new tab, renamed Home tab and new group on the Home tab. The Apply Heading buttons could be better and different but this is beta software after all.

Rename and more
Hiding under the Rename option for any command is the ability to change the icon too.
Office 2010 - Customize Ribbon - rename command also changes icon
It’s nice to have a wider range of options than in Office 2007 though sadly there’s no obvious way to add more icons.
If you are still a little bit frightened of the new Ribbon displays in Office 2007 and 2010 you might find the following web site and download of some help.
