Trevor’s Quick Illustrator Tip – Quick Close

Photo by: salssa via sxc.hu

You can close the current document you are working on to clean up your work area, by pressing Ctrl + W on a PC and Command + W on a Mac. If you haven’t saved the image you’ll be prompted to do so before it closes.

Lightroom Maximize, Minimize, Restore, Size, Move and Close buttons missing?

Lightroom maximize minimize close restore size title bar missing

One of the most frustrating things that you’ll encounter with Lightroom is when your entire title bar for the application disappears. You’ll see your menu but everything else including the Close, Minimize, Maximize and other buttons will be missing.

The problem is that you’ve pressed the F key to get to full screen mode.

The solution is to press the F key repeatedly until the screen returns to normal. Too easy? Maybe but it sure is frustrating when you don’t know what happened and how to fix it.

Close everything NOW! Excel 2007 and PowerPoint 2007

Yum, it’s like a boss key for Excel and PowerPoint. Double click the Office button in either application and it’s like a Close All tool – everything closes quickly and automatically.

Doesn’t work in Word, wonder why not?
