WordPad<\/strong><\/p>\n

Finally, Microsoft is beefing up its venerable old WordPad program. As many of you know, by default WordPad saves documents in Rich Text Format. And the new WordPad in Windows 7 saves in this format, by default, just as it has always done. But the new, improved WordPad is much better. When you browse the Save As Format list and you\u2019ll see you can also save files in the Office 2007 .docx or OpenDocument .odt formats. You can also open Word (.docx) and OpenDocument (.odt) files with WordPad. It\u2019s about time Microsoft gave everyone a free, built-in program to open Word documents!<\/p>\n

Desktop slideshow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Windows 7 comes with some really cool wallpapers. And you\u2019ll probably have a few more you\u2019d like to add to the mix too. But with all those cool wallpapers at your fingertips you might have a hard time deciding which wallpaper to use. And then again, sometimes you just get tired of looking at the same old wallpaper.<\/p>\n

Windows 7 allows you to show off all your wallpaper as a cool desktop slideshow.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how you can do that in Windows 7:<\/p>\n

Right-click an empty part of the desktop, select Personalize \u2013> Desktop Background, then hold down Ctrl as you click on the images you want to appear in your desktop slideshow. Then all you have to do is choose how often you want the images to change (anywhere from once daily to every ten seconds). If you\u2019d like the backgrounds to appear in a random order select \u201cShuffle\u201d. Then, all you have to do is click \u201cSave Changes\u201d and your desktop slideshow will begin.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
