Things you didn’t know you didn’t know

Try this now:

  1. Launch Notepad.exe
  2. Enter some text
  3. Close Notepad
  4. When Prompted to Save press Ctrl+C
  5. Click on the Cancel button to return to Notepad
  6. Press Ctrl+V

 

Now if you are as big a geek as I am (and you didn’t already know this was possible) you are probably staring at your screen thinking that this may well be one of the coolest things ever and wishing you had known about this before as you recall all those error messages that you’ve had to copy out by hand or retype into a search engine in the past.  I’m sure there are many more features of Windows like this one that you don’t know about, maybe there are a few you do know so why not share them here. 

In the meantime have a look at these keyboard shortcuts for IE8 http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Internet-Explorer-8-keyboard-shortcuts and while you’re at it have a look at the rest of the Camwood website or the Camwood SharePoint website (http://sharepoint.camwood.com/) to find out what you didn’t know you didn’t know about the services we offer.

Just out of curiosity, in step 2 above how many of you actually typed “some text”? :-)
