This month’s presentation featured our own Bradley Dichter, doing
Mac part . This presentation focused on working with text
(word processing), and images. Mo of these basic concepts will
work in TextEdit, Mail, Pages, and Microsoft Word.
Bradley arted the presentation by discussing the basics of selec-
tion. We all know you can use the mouse to sele (highlight) any
amount of text. Many of us did not know that you could combine
the Shift key, and the cursor keys, (up, down, left and right arrow
keys) to sele text. It works ju as you would think. Shift right
arrow seles text to the right; left arrow to the left, and of course
up and down will do ju what they say. Bradley pointed out that
using the cursor keys can save time, but they are not necessarily the
be choice for every situation. Once text is highlighted, typing will
replace it without the need to delete the highlighted text. Ju to
review, Bradley reminded us to make use of the: Cut (command-x),
Copy (command-c) to clipboard, and Pae (command-v) keyboard
shortcuts to save eps. If you are working on a small keyboard, cer-
tain single-funion keys such as the home key are not available, or
are they? You can achieve the same result by combining the func-
tion key, and the arrow keys. On the Apple wireless keyboard and on
the MacBook/MacBook Pro, the funion key is labeled ‘fn’ and is
found at the lower-left corner. fn-left arrow← =
home, fn-right arrow→ = end, fn-up arrow↑ =
page up, and fn-down arrow↓ = page down.
Bradley then proceeded to demonrate
word wrap, and the different ways to juify type. In addition he
showed the font panel and its features. Many of us were introduced
to some useful features we did not know about, such as dragging
down the top of the panel to reveal the font preview. You can use
the font panel to make the text bold, italic, or even underlined. If

technology but it is becoming more and
