Want to illustrate an Excel worksheet with a pop-up picture?

Would you like to be able to illustrate one of the tables in your Excel worksheet, like this user?

This picture is hidden within a cell “comment” which allows it to only pop-up when you place your mouse over the cell – cool, eh?

Here’s how to do it ….

1. Right click on a cell and select Insert Comment
2. Delete the user’s name
3. Hover the mouse over the comment’s border until it becomes a four-headed arrow
4. Right-click and select Format Comment
5. Click on the Colours and Lines tab
6. In the Fill section, click on Colour, then Fill Effects.
7. Click on the Picture tab and then select your picture
8. Click OK to insert it

Sound connections becoming faulty?

If your sound sockets are become faulty, you can replace them with ones which plug into a USB socket. Here’s a picture of an adapter:

They replace the sound card built into your laptop, providing replacement headphone/speaker and microphone sockets.

Being on a USB connection, they can of course be used with desktop PCs, but are ideal for laptops/netbooks because of the high cost and hassle of replacing their built in sound card (where it’s possible).
