Letter Count - Counting Letters and Words on MS Word .

There is a letter-count and word-count on Microsoft word that will, of course,  count the amount of letters and words that you type on your document.  Doing the word count is easier to than the letter count but only by one step.

Probably the hardest part of getting the number of letters and words on a word document is because it isn't a very obvious process.  Once you know how to do this, you'll remember it no problem.

Step 1

Open your Microsoft Word Document or create a new one

Step 2

Look to the bottom left of your PC screen.  Right next to where it tells you what document page you are on, you'll see "Words:"

See it?

Step 3
Right next to "Words" you'll see the amount of words that you have typed so far on this MS Word document.
OK? That should take care of the word-count.
Now for the letter-count
Step 4

To get the letter count, click on the same area where you were just looking.  Put another way, click on "Words:"
 
Step 5

In the window that appear on your PC screen, you'll see a number of statistics regarding your document. Here's where you find your letter count.

 "Characters (no spaces)" will, of course, tell you the amount of letters you have typed without the number of spaces included in the total.  "Characters (with spaces)" includes the spaces in the total letter count.

That should do it.  I hope that helps you to determine the amount of characters or words you have entered on your MS Word documents.

What PA Pennsylvania Municipality Do I Live In?

The other day I was asked to fill out a form where I had to include both the name of the city I live in and my municipality.
 I always thought that my city and municipality were the same thing but apparently that is not always the case.  If you run into a situation where you need to identify your municipality but can't, don't worry, there is a website that will help you to find your municipality no problem.

I'll run you through the basic steps so you can locate your municipality.  This article is for those looking for a municipality in Pennsylvania ( PA ).

Step 1
Copy and paste this site URL http://munstatspa.dced.state.pa.us/FindLocalTax.aspx into your web browser

(I think that is the easiest way, another way to do it is www.newpa.com - Get Local Gov't Support - Municipal Statistics but sometimes I get 'lost' navigating this path, just plug in the above URL and you'll get there faster.)

Step 2
When this page comes up, look to the left of your screen.  There is a link called "Find Your Municipality"    Go ahead and click this link

Step 3
Fill in your address in the blanks provided.  Then click the "Find Municipality" button.  Your pop-up blocker will probably show up.

Step 4
If you get the pop up warning at the top of the screen, go ahead and allow pop ups.  I hit the temporarily allow pop-ups but I'll leave that choice to you.

Step 5
Your municipality will show up along with your school district. Municipality on the left, school district on the right.

I hope that helps you to locate the municipal information you want.  I like that website because it also provides you with your school district (PSD) code, school district ( PSD ) name and you can also review your local  / municipal tax rates. 

 Pretty handy and easy to use.

How to get a photo from the sky of your home.

By TurtleDog

Hi! Have you ever wanted to see an Aerial view of your neighborhood or house? Do you lack the pilots license necessary to experience these views? Never fear you can simply look at it on the internet. This is easy. Read on to learn how to Get an Aerial View of Your House .

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

things you'll need:

• Internet connection

1. • Step 1
     It's amazing all the stuff you can find on the internet. Even a picture of the roof of your home! Pretty simple too...
     
   • Step 2 
     First connect to the internet and go to www.google.com
     
   • Step 3
     In the Google web browser type in your complete address followed by the word "map" (don't use quotes though :-). For example (not a real address but just a 'for instance' ): 123 Blogger Avenue, Blogspot, PA 19104 map
     
   • Step 4
     A map will appear at the top of the search with your address linked right next to the map. Click on the address link.....
     
   • Step 5
     An expanded map will appear. Now for the cool part, at the top of the map click on the second button from the right called "Satellite"
     
   • Step 6
     Give it a second and a pretty decent photo of your neighborhood will appear. There will also be an arrow pointing at your address.
     
   • Step 7
     On the left side of the map you can control how far in or out you can zoom. If you zoom as far in as possible, you'll have a real good aerial view of your home and surrounding land.
     
   • Step 8 
     Sometimes you might have to pan the map left or right (simply do this by dragging the map with your cursor) to position the view directly over your home, but this is unusual. Typically the aerial view of your house will be just about dead center of the map.

How to Repair a Concrete Floor Crack

Repairing Cracks in Concrete Floors

By TurtleDog
 

If you have an old concrete floor at home you've probably experienced a good number of cracks. Repairing it takes a little elbow grease but it is not too difficult. Read on to learn how to repair a concrete floor crack

Difficulty:

Moderate

Instructions

1. • 1
     Very important, wear safety glasses! Concrete can splinter and fly into your eye. Also chisels and hammers sometimes break too... wear those safety glasses!!
   • 2
     If you see a crack running along your concrete floor believe it or not, you'll have to make it bigger, so grab your cold (box) chisel and hammer...
   • 3
     Use the hammer and chisel to cut back the sides of the crack. That is, make the crack wider. You don't have to make it too wide, just make it wide enough so that you can envision packing mortar into the crack.
   • 4
     Once the crack is wider, use a hand brush or broom to brush away the dust and fragments
   • 5
     Take your small paint brush and apply white general purpose PVA building adhesive into the crack. This will help the repair mortar stick better to the crack
   • 6
     Following directions on the packaging, mix your quick setting repair mortar.
   • 7
     Using your trowel, fill the crack with the mortar. Then use the edge of the trowel to level it flat so that it is level with the rest of the floor.
   • 8
     Sit back and admire your work. Let it harden.
