Add Full Screen View to De-Clutter Your Workspace in Word

Did you ever open up a Microsoft word document and find yourself overwhelmed by toolbars and rulers? For those of you who feel distracted by this, there is a full screen view that not many people are aware of.

It takes out most of the extra tools and buttons from your view so that the document is the only thing you see on your screen. This option is easily accessible in Word 2003, just go to view menu and then select Full Screen. To get out of full view go back to the menu and uncheck the option for full screen.

In Word 2007 however is in a different location. Go to View Menu, select full screen reading. This is not the same thing as full screen view, you will not be able to edit the document in this mode.

To access editable full screen view, you need to add the full screen view to the Quick Access toolbar. To add this toolbar, click the drop down arrow to the right of the quick access toolbar and select more commands. Then go to choose commands from and select commands not in the ribbon. Then proceed by checking the Toggle Full screen view. Click Add, then okay.

Then that's it! It will be available to click for the full screen view on your toolbar whenever you'd like.

For more information and a step by step directions including images on how to get the Full Screen view in your Toolbar, please visit the CMIT Solutions Blog.

CMIT Sponsored LIA Event Featuring Ed Koch & Alfonse D'Amato

CMIT sponsored the LIA event on April 15th that featured former NYC Mayor Edward Koch and U.S. Senator Alfonse D'Amato who came together to discuss the "Future of New York."

The discussion was set in a conversation styled manner and mediated by LIA President Matthew T. Crosson. LIA is an organization that brings together business, labor, education, government, not-for-profits working to make L.I. an even better place to live, work, raise a family, and do business.

There is cause for concern about New York's future and according to Ed Koch, those who currently hold government positions must stand up and do what is right for the people. Al D'Amato agreed by stating that "Leadership qualities of people who stand and say 'no' have dissipated ... there is no sense of urgency with the leadership of the State," D'Amato said. As for the financial state of NY, Koch is a democrat who understands what needs to be done in order to help our businesses, but knows it must be done rationally. He stated, "I'm a liberal with sanity - I know you cannot spend money that you don't have."

Both Koch and Al D'Amato are concerned that there is great anger and tension between New Yorkers and government officials. The people should be able to trust those who've been elected to represent them.

As a result of this discussion, Koch and Al D'Amato are fighting to stand up for what is right and hoping to inspire the idea that plans need to be put into action now in order to help create a brighter future for New York.
