Stop click*click*clicking!

If you are anything like me (some people would say there aren't many people like me but I refuse to believe it) you have layers and layers of folders in your My Documents. Many times, I find that I am working on a document, close it and then want to work on it some more. It is one of my pet peeves to have to click through all of my folders to get to the document again. I always forget about this shortcut and I really should use it more:

In the program you are going to be using (let's use Word), click on 'Open'.
In the window that pops up click on the left-hand side icon that says 'Recent Documents'.
A list of compiled of the most recent documents you've opened. Many times I use the same documents frequently throughout the day so this could save me quite a bit of time! Perhaps now that I've written it down it will stick!

For more "advanced" users:

You can create an icon in your Quick Launch toolbar by dragging the file from a folder menu down to your Quick Launch toolbar.

Have a great weekend and let me know if you have any questions!

About Me

South Bend, IN, United States
I am a hard-working, organized and computer proficient Virtual Assistant. My expertise is in the real estate field. My mom has been a REALTOR since I was 12 so it was only natural to become an assistant to one of the top 50 agents in Indiana when I was in college. After college I went to work at the area's most respected title insurance company as a title production specialist. I then moved into my true calling area - Marketing. I spent 5 years in Marketing and just love helping people out and getting their problems solved...fast! I am now combining my three loves: Real Estate, Administrative/Marketing Support and my children into My Assistant ~ Virtual Assistance to the Real Estate Industry.
