If you use Excel frequently, you're probably already familiar with many basic Excel keyboard shortcuts. However, there are some little-known shortcuts that can help you work even more efficiently in selecting ranges and moving around a worksheet. For example, you can quickly select an entire data region (a range of data cells bordered by empty cells) by clicking one of the cells and then holding down CTRL-SHIFT-* (asterisk). Another way to select a data range is to place your cell pointer in the range and then press CTRL-A; press CTRL-A a second time to select the entire worksheet. You can also press CTRL-Spacebar to select the column where your cell pointer is located. Another helpful keyboard shortcut is to press END followed by an Up, Down, Left, or Right arrow key to efficiently move the cell pointer to the outermost edge of a data range.
If you're using Internet Explorer and you come across a Web page with information you want to preserve, there are two good ways to keep the information without having to use a Web browser to bring it back up. The first and simplest way is to print it; it never hurts to have a hard copy of information you need. Another method is to save the Web page as an .MHT (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension) file, which is essentially just a snapshot of the page. In this format you can send the page to others or double-click on it to open it directly. To make a .MHT file from a Web page, click File (press the ALT key to reveal the File menu if you don't see it), click Save As, and in the dialog box be sure to select the .MHT file type. Tell the computer where to put the file and click Save.
