Press the Return key on your keyboard to activate the command. While this method of keeping URLs intact in emails works well on the Mac platform, it may not work as well for Windows users. Just how the URL is handled by the Email application is determined in its programming, and unfortunately, Microsoft Outlook (the most common Windows email program) is inconsistent in how it handles long URLs. Just remember, not all problems are caused by Macs and Windows users will need to learn how to handle URLs that arrive with spaces in them, just as you have learned. We do lots of tutorials such as this for our clients at Bob LeVitus Consulting. Our rates are only $60 per hour for clear explanations about how to work with your Macintosh.

Let your computer decide what it needs to store in its Libraries if you want it to continue working! If you do not know which of the printer applications to use, take a look at the Desktop Printer that we made earlier. ...If you want to keep a printer in your dock so that you can drag documents directly to it, then drag the icon to the dock. It will make an alias to store there. Another good places to store an icon is the sidebar of the Finder window. To place it there, drag the icon into the sidebar. If you are not familiar adding items to the sidebar, here are a few tips. You can drag almost any item into the sidebar including applications, documents and folders. Many of the items that are placed there by default are folders, so it is important to watch the sidebar to make sure you are adding an item (notice the line that indicates the item will be placed in the list. If you see the name of an item in a box, that indicates you are about to drag your printer application into a folder. ... Do not release the mouse when it is indicating placement in a folder. If you slip, use command - Z to move the item back to its proper place and try again. The other really good place to store a printer icon so that you can drag files on top of it to print is in the toolbar of the finder window. ...While the icons that you see on the left side of the toolbar are added by using the Finder > View menu > Customize . . . command, the icons on the right side were added by dragging an icon into the toolbar. As you drag icons to the location you will see a green + sign appear. When you see it, release your mouse and the icon will appear in the toolbar. You can see that I also have the icons for Preview and TextEdit in my toolbar since I frequently drag documents over these applications to view them. You may also notice that I do not have the names of the commands in my toolbar to save a little space. Since I use the icons in my toolbar frequently, I have their names and functions memorized. Adding extra icons to the desktop, dock, Finder window sidebar and toolbar can make your computer easier to use. If you would like to learn more about these kinds of customizations, consider booking a tutorial session with us at Bob LeVitus Consulting. The cost is $60 per one hour session and it makes a perfect gift for your favorite Mac user. ]]>pat@macmousecalls.comPages2007-10-09T16:54:43-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/b7825e94cb054688fae82b2658aeb48b-14.html#unique-entry-id-14http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/b7825e94cb054688fae82b2658aeb48b-14.html#unique-entry-id-14pat@macmousecalls.comFinder2007-10-05T10:41:00-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/a299a90f17d499ad922ee485917303cf-13.html#unique-entry-id-13http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/a299a90f17d499ad922ee485917303cf-13.html#unique-entry-id-13pat@macmousecalls.comSafari2007-10-03T21:33:15-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/73f419143a9fde82d1c8cb0be6345d73-12.html#unique-entry-id-12http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/73f419143a9fde82d1c8cb0be6345d73-12.html#unique-entry-id-12pat@macmousecalls.comGeneral Mac2007-10-02T11:46:56-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/cf6ac0dec76aed740ace38a151749724-11.html#unique-entry-id-11http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/cf6ac0dec76aed740ace38a151749724-11.html#unique-entry-id-11pat@macmousecalls.comFinder2007-09-13T09:20:23-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/fa4319c97c42568d6802e8a7756eba86-10.html#unique-entry-id-10http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/fa4319c97c42568d6802e8a7756eba86-10.html#unique-entry-id-10pat@macmousecalls.comFinder2007-09-10T21:36:07-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/3ca0b6e639c72763d2100d1616a69183-9.html#unique-entry-id-9http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/3ca0b6e639c72763d2100d1616a69183-9.html#unique-entry-id-9pat@macmousecalls.comFinder2007-09-03T11:23:50-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/1d06d012a13ad0cf54464bc2ee99cd23-7.html#unique-entry-id-7http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/1d06d012a13ad0cf54464bc2ee99cd23-7.html#unique-entry-id-7pat@macmousecalls.comGeneral Mac2007-08-28T11:55:21-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/84e40c007a19dc0981c568a399cf6ee4-5.html#unique-entry-id-5http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/84e40c007a19dc0981c568a399cf6ee4-5.html#unique-entry-id-5pat@macmousecalls.comGeneral Mac2007-08-03T11:30:09-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/b0fd0e03898db9dbba1682c758c764f7-4.html#unique-entry-id-4http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/b0fd0e03898db9dbba1682c758c764f7-4.html#unique-entry-id-4pat@macmousecalls.comGeneral Mac2007-08-02T14:16:00-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/a46f00487c828288257e49590a21ceb1-3.html#unique-entry-id-3http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/a46f00487c828288257e49590a21ceb1-3.html#unique-entry-id-3pat@macmousecalls.comNetworking2007-08-02T09:29:43-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/381fbc075d9d3c5f8659ac3c7d3e01ab-2.html#unique-entry-id-2http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/381fbc075d9d3c5f8659ac3c7d3e01ab-2.html#unique-entry-id-2pat@macmousecalls.comPrinting2007-08-01T15:11:19-04:00http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/6a4676ca2fef860ca1d5d91af749875b-0.html#unique-entry-id-0http://www.macmousecalls.com/files/6a4676ca2fef860ca1d5d91af749875b-0.html#unique-entry-id-0
