Select the last word you typed - CTRL + SHIFT + LEFT ARROW Useful if you messed up the last word and want to quickly re-type it without having to press backspace. You can keep pressing the arrow to select more words to the left. Start up the proofing engine - F7 Instantly checks your spelling and grammar. No need to keep right clicking on each red line! The engine will go through all of the mistakes in the current document.

Monthly Survey

Last month we asked our readers about their likes and concerns about VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol). Here are the results:

When asked about the importance of VoIP to your business, the following benefits were rated “Very Important” (95%):

• VoIP integrates easily into our existing network
• There's a fail-safe back-up system that ensures our phone service will never be interrupted.
• The VoIP system increases productivity

Readers were less interested in having flexibility for employees to work from home.

For readers who do not subscribe to a VoIP service, biggest concerns (90%) when considering VoIP were overall cost of system, reliability of the service, and possible difficulty of integration with existing networks.
Readers were less concerned about quality of voice and understanding the technology.

We'd like to know how you typically screen your calls.
