FAQICA: There's more to life than Arial and Times New Roman

There's more to life than Arial and Times New Roman

An excellent range of fonts available free (check the licence terms as not all are limited to personal use) from Fonts2u.com. The standard Windows | Office set is pretty short on handwriting fonts in particular. Careful use of some good fonts can totally transform a document and yet I still see so many very tired looking notices and assignment covers in either Times New Roman or Arial where all the author managed to do was hit the italic, bold and underline buttons on the toolbar, usually all together too! Ugh! So go get some new ones and experiment a little!

Frequently asked questions I can answer. I used to have piles of notes about all sorts of ICT things that I needed for classes but nowadays there doesn't seem to be much of that sort of training so most of the time I'm answering individual questions about how to do this or that. Often I'll reply in an e-mail or scribble something down or just go and show people on the job and it occurred to me that all that one-off effort could be put to better use if I could at least make a list of the ones I remembered, and so here we go.
