If you need to see how many formulas, pivot tables, or form controls you have in a spreadsheet or workbook, check out the Workbook Statistics feature in Microsoft Excel.
If you need to see how many formulas, pivot tables, or form controls you have in a spreadsheet or workbook, check out the Workbook Statistics feature in Microsoft Excel. Let’s explore this feature.

You may have found statistics in Word helpful for seeing the number of pages, words, or characters. Getting statistics in Excel can be just as useful. You may have a workbook for a class with specific requirements, or you may have a spreadsheet for business that you want to review for unnecessary elements.
View Your Sheet/Workbook Statistics
First, open your Excel workbook. Next, navigate to the Review tab. Now, click Workbook Statistics in the Proofing section. You can also press Ctrl+Shift+G. (Note that the shortcut will not work in Excel for the Web.) Refer to below image:
Accessing Workbook Statistics button
Now, a small window will open to display the data for your current sheet at the top and the entire workbook at the bottom. See below image:
Displaying one Sheet Statistics
If you want details for a different sheet in your workbook, close the Workbook Statistics window by clicking OK. Next click the tab for the sheet that you want to see and follow the same steps listed above. As a downside, the sheet and workbook name are not shown. See following image:
Displaying two Sheets and Workbook Statistics
Data Included
You can see a the following data with the Workbook Statistics feature. This is helpful for situations where you expect to see something in your current sheet or workbook and you do not, or vice versa. Statistics may differ slightly between the spreadsheet and the entire workbook.
Spreadsheet Statistics:
The end of the sheet (the last cell with data)
Cells with data
Tables and PivotTables
Formulas
Charts
Images and objects
Form controls
Comments and notes
Workbook Statistics:
Number of sheets
Cells with data
Tables and PivotTables
Formulas
Charts
External connections
Macros
You can view Workbook Statistics in Excel for Microsoft 365 on Windows and Mac as well as in Excel on the Web. The only difference is that Excel online does not display the complete data lists written above for sheets and workbooks.

The Shortcuts app that comes pre-installed on iOS and iPadOS devices has proven to be incredibly useful especially with the release of iOS & iPadOS 14. There are so many things that you can do now with the Shortcuts app, Although you have access to a set of suggested shortcuts, you are not limited to using those alone. In fact, third-party shortcuts created by the community can be installed on your device too.

There are several shortcuts websites to chose from. We will be focused on using the Shortcuts Gallery, one of the largest repositories of shortcuts. It includes proper descriptions, steps, and download links. Shortcuts are also sorted by category, so it’s easy to find what you want.
Enable Untrusted Shortcuts
Before you can start installing third-party shortcuts, you have to enable the feature. By default, shortcuts downloaded from the web are blocked because they have not been verified by Apple.
First, tap your Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. Refer to below image:
Accessing Settings
Next, scroll down and tap Shortcuts. See below image:
Accessing Shortcuts
Now, toggle to On the Untrusted Shortcuts option. (Note! If you see a message saying you must first run a shortcut, then download a Shortcut from your Shortcut app and run it.) See following image:
Enabling Untrusted Shortcuts
Next, in the pop-up message that appears, tap Allow. Refer to below image:
Allow Untrusted Shortcuts
Next, enter your device’s passcode to verify that you own this iPhone or iPad. See below image:
Entering your Passcode
You are ready to go to install third-party shortcuts.
Install Third-Party Shortcuts
In our example, we will install the Clipboard shortcut from the Shortcuts Gallery website. Open the website in your browser on your iPhone or iPad. Now, tap the shortcut you want to download. See following image:
Finding a Shortcut
Next, tap the Get Shortcut button. Refer to below image:
Get the chosen Shortcut
Now, the shortcut in the Shortcuts app will open. Scroll to the bottom, and then tap Add Untrusted Shortcut. See below image:
Adding the Untrusted Shortcut
Your new shortcut will be at the top of the list in your My Shortcuts. Just tap it to start using it. See following image:
Your newly added Shortcut
After you have downloaded more shortcuts, you can organize them in folders. This will make it easier to launch them from an iPhone Home screen Widget.

Did you know you can drag tabs between browser windows within Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on Windows, Linux, and Mac? (But not between different browser types.) It seems obvious in retrospect, but many people never notice.
Did you know you can drag tabs between browser windows within Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on Windows, Linux, and Mac? (But not between different browser types.) It seems obvious in retrospect, but many people never notice. Let’s explore how this is done.
This is for modern browsers. Screenshots are from Chrome in Windows 10
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
First, open Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Apple Safari, or Mozilla Firefox on a Mac or PC. Open a few tabs in one browser window and then press Ctrl+n (or Command+n on a Mac) to open another browser window.
To move a tab between browser windows, click and drag the tab from the tab bar in one window onto the tab bar in another window.

Generally speaking, the more you tweet, the further your past tweets move down your profile page. However, Twitter makes it possible to pin a tweet so that it stays at the top of your page until you remove it.
If you use Twitter regularly, you may occasionally post a message that gains attention with other users or that you want to stand out from the rest of your feed.
Generally speaking, the more you tweet, the further your past tweets move down your profile page. However, Twitter makes it possible to pin a tweet so that it stays at the top of your page until you remove it.
Pinning tweets to the top of your Twitter profile will not take more than a few seconds, and you can unpin a tweet or choose a new one to pin in its place at any time. Let’s explore how to do this.
Note! You can only have one pinned tweet at a time. Pinning a new tweet will unpin any tweet you already have pinned.
This is for the iPhone and Android using Twitter
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
Pin a Tweet
Twitter’s mobile apps for iOS and Android allow you to pin tweets to your profile. You can also do this on your desktop.
First, open the Twitter app. Make sure you are logged in to your account.
Next, in the top-left corner of the app, tap the three horizontal lines. Refer to below image:
Accessing the Twitter menu
In the menu that opens, select Profile. See below image:
Accessing your Profile
Your Twitter profile opens. Now, scroll down and find the tweet to pin.
When you find the tweet, at the top-right corner of that tweet, tap the three-dots hamburger menu. See following image:

If you need to quickly remove all the images and graphics from a Microsoft Word document, it’s easy to use a built-in option to delete them all at once.
If you need to quickly remove all the images and graphics from a Microsoft Word document, it’s easy to use a built-in option to delete them all at once. Let’s explore how this is done.
This is for devices running Microsoft Word
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
The Technique
Microsoft Word includes a feature called Find and Replace to find items in your documents and replace them with something of your choice. Using this feature, you can find all the images in your document and replace them with nothing. This removes the images and leaves a blank space where they were located.
As a slight drawback, this technique will also remove all charts and graphs from your document.
The Removal Process
First, open your document with Microsoft Word. Next, in the menu at the top of the window, click Home. Now, click Replace in the Editing section of the toolbar. Refer to below image:
Accessing the Replace button
Next, in the Find and Replace window, click the Find what box. In this box, type:
^g
(Alternately, you can click the More button, and then select Special and Graphic from the drop-down menu. Word will insert a ^g for you.)
In this case, ^g is a special code that means “graphic.” This “graphic” tag includes all images, charts, or graphs in your document. But no need to worry, you can undo this step later if you remove the images by mistake.
Now, click Replace All at the bottom of the window. See below image:
Selecting Replace All to remove all images
All images in your document will be removed. A pop-up window will appear denoting the number of images removed. Click OK to close the window. See following image:
Pop-up window denoting number of images replaced with a blank line
If you want to bring them back, press Ctrl+Z on Windows or Command+Z on Mac to undo the removal process. Or, you can insert images again if necessary. (You may need to edit your document to remove blank lines). Now, save your changes (if any) and exit Word.

Following are the basic requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC. If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install Windows 11 and might want to consider purchasing a new device.
Following are the basic requirements for installing Windows 11 on a PC. If your device does not meet these requirements, you may not be able to install Windows 11 and might want to consider purchasing a new device. If you are unsure whether your PC meets these requirements, you can check with your PC Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) or, if your device is already running Windows 10, you can use the PC Health Check app to assess compatibility.
Note! As of this writing, the PC Health Check app has been removed from the App Store. The reason is because the app is denying millions of PCs for the upgrade. Microsoft has some hurdles to overcome. Let’s find out.
This is for Windows 10 devices
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
The Requirements
Processor:
1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster with 2 or more cores on a compatible 64 bit processor System on a Chip (SoC)
RAM:
4 gigabyte (GB)
Storage:
64 GB or larger storage device
System firmware:
UEFI, Secure Boot capable
TPM:
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) version 2.0
Graphics card:
Compatible with DirectX 12 or later with WDDM 2.0 driver
Display:
High definition (720p) display that is greater than 9” diagonally, 8 bits per color channel
Internet connection and Microsoft accounts:
Windows 11 Home edition requires internet connectivity and a Microsoft account to complete device setup on first use. Switching a device out of Windows 11 Home in S mode also requires internet connectivity.
For all Windows 11 editions, internet access is required to perform updates and to download and take advantage of some features. A Microsoft account is required for some features.
Check Your Version of Trusted Platform Module (TPM)
To check this, we are going to use the Device Manager.
First, type “device manager” in the Cortana search box in lower left-hand corner. Next, in the search results, click on Device Manager in upper left-hand corner. Refer to below image:
Selecting Device Manager
Now, after the Device Manager opens, scroll down and click on Security Device to expand the menu and see if any TPM entries exist. See below image:
Opening Security devices for TPM entry
This computer meets the requirement for version 2.0 of TPM.
If you have TPM 1.2, you may be able to upgrade to Windows 11; there are no guarantees.

Turning off your iPhone seems like it should be a simple task; and it is, provided you remember the specific buttons you are supposed to press to power down your device. The challenge is that Apple has changed the method every few models so that turning off your iPhone on an older device is quite different than what’s required to turn off the newer models.
Turning off your iPhone seems like it should be a simple task; and it is, provided you remember the specific buttons you are supposed to press to power down your device. The challenge is that Apple has changed the method every few models so that turning off your iPhone on an older device is quite different than what’s required to turn off the newer models. Let’s explore how to turn off and on your device.
This is for the iPhone
Copyright Scott Adams, Inc./Distributed by Universal Uclick for UFS
To help you turn off your iPhone, there are the different ways you can shut down an iPhone based on Apple’s assorted models. It all comes down to the position of the Sleep/Wake button and whether your iPhone is unlocked with a Passcode, Touch ID, or FaceID.
Sometimes you need to completely shut down your iPhone, perhaps to help with troubleshooting, or to save your battery life during a long period of inactivity, or the device is acting strangely. Fortunately, it’s easy to do.
What is Sleep Mode vs Shutting Down
Normally, when you briefly press the top or side button on your iPhone, the screen on your device turns off, but the iPhone stays running. This is called sleep mode or lock mode. While it turns off the screen, it does not completely power off the device.
In contrast, shutting down your iPhone starts a special software shutdown process where your iPhone cleans up and prepares for power-off. Then, your iPhone turns off completely.
Perform Hardware Shutdown
If you need to turn off your iPhone, the easiest way to do so is by using a hardware button on your device. How to do this varies slightly by model, since certain iPhones include different types of buttons:
On iPhones without a Home Button: Simultaneously hold the side button and the volume up or down button for about four seconds until the power-off slider appears on the screen.
On iPhones with a Home Button and a Side Button: Hold the side button for a few seconds until the power-off slider appears.
On iPhones with a Home Button and a Top Button: Press and hold the top button until the power-off slider appears.
Refer to below image:
Apple
When the Slide to Power Off slider appears, swipe your finger to the right. See below image:
Hardware shut down
Now, your iPhone will shut down and power off completely.
Perform Shutdown via Settings
First, open Settings on your iPhone. See following image:
Accessing Settings
Next, in the Settings app, tap General. Refer to below image:
Accessing General option
Now, on the General page, scroll down to the bottom of the page and tap Shut Down. See below image:
Accessing Shut Down option
When the Slide to Power Off slider appears, swipe your finger to the right. See following image:
Software shut down
Now, your iPhone will shut down and power off completely.
Restart
If you just powered off, waiting 10 seconds is a good rule of thumb before a restart.
For newer models, (12, 11, 10), press and quickly release the volume up button, press and quickly release the volume down button, then press and hold the side button. When the Apple logo appears, release the button.
For iPhone SE (2nd generation), 8, 7, or 6, press and hold the side button until you see the Apple logo, then release the button.
