(2) Tutorial Lady's Guide to Curing Spelling Amnesia
If you suffer from "Spelling Amnesia," the disorder that kills your memory for spelling and grammar rules, the Tutorial Lady has a quick cure.
If you have to stop and think about which spelling to use for THEIR, THERE or THEY'RE; ITS vs IT'S; AFFECT vs. EFFECT; or YOUR vs. YOU'RE... Tutorial Lady's spelling tutorial can help. A handy reference guide for fixing the most common spelling, grammar and punctuation mistakes... before they happen.
Here's an example from the Guide: ITS versus IT'S
There seems to be a mass amnesia in spelling and punctuation centering around the word “its.” Something happened at the millennium and everybody forgot the rule for this little possessive adjective. I’ll bet this is the single biggest spelling mistake of our time.
“Its” without an apostrophe – is a possessive, third person, singular adjective that typically relates to something other than a person. The noun it refers to was probably mentioned just previously (in this sentence, “it” refers to the noun “noun”), so you know what "it" is.
“Its” refers to something “it” possesses:
The dog was so agitated, its barks were deafening.
I picked a daffodil and its color reminded me of sunshine.
“It's” with an apostrophe – is an abbreviation for (1) it is or (2) it has:
It’s a foregone conclusion. It’s raining.
It’s been proven long ago. Look at the daffodil; it’s gone to seed.
The main rule to remember here is – the apostrophe takes the place of missing letters and represents a shortened version of a pronoun and a verb: “it is” or “it has.”
No apostrophe means ownership of some kind -– and no missing letters.

(3) Tutorial Lady's Guide to Designing Attractive Flyers with Word 2003, 2007 & 2010
Although Microsoft Word was originally created as a word processing program, many people began using it as a design tool for flyers, advertisements, announcements, posters and more. And while Word doesn't have the same features and capabilities as Microsoft's desktop design Publisher program, you can still create a very attractive flyer or document, if you know a few tricks.
For example: When you insert a graphic into your Word flyer, does the text end up at the bottom, leaving a bunch of white space to the side of your picture? Here's the "how-to" from the tutorial:
WRAP TEXT around your graphic:
Right click your picture, click the Layout tab, and choose how you’d like your text to wrap around your picture. If you want white space on the sides of the graphic, choose the first option “In Line With Text.” This puts your first line of text at the bottom right of the graphic (the default that Microsoft Word gives for this option).
If you want your text to start higher up beside your picture, choose “Square” or “Tight.” You can also type text on top of the graphic - just make sure that “behind text” is selected in the “Wrapping Styles” section.
The tutorial will also teach you how to:
1) Set up the Quick Access Toolbar (Word 2007-2010)
2) Set page margins
3) Make a border around your page
4) Work with fonts
5) Embed your fonts (essential for making PDFs or emailing your flyer)
6) Format paragraphs (for automatic alignment, indents, line spacing and paragraph spacing)
7) Insert, resize, rotate, move and crop your graphics
8) Change graphic colors, make borders for graphics, wrap text around graphics and rotate or flip your pictures
If you need a flyer fast, there's a special section on working with Microsoft flyer templates.
Whether you have the latest version of Microsoft Word (2010) or Word 2003 or 2007, you'll find instructions and tips for making great-looking flyers.
