Hi Dave! I am a freelance artist and the beginning of each year I get lots of requests from clients to fill out and send back IRS W9 forms. I don’t really want to send my social security number in the clear, though, so is there a way to password protect these files? I’m running an old iMac if that matters…
I really prefer the European date format of date mon, year as in 25 Dec, 2021, but here in the USA, the default seems to be mon date, year, as in Dec 25, 2021. Can I change it on my Mac so that it’s updated through all apps and display? In particular, the clock shown on my menu bar.
My banker wants to go through my company spreadsheets and I don’t want to just email them as attachments. Is there a way to password protect XLS files before sending or sharing them? I use Microsoft Excel on my Mac if that matters…
I have a lot of essays to write every week in my college program and am wondering if I can possibly dictate or speak my first drafts rather than endlessly type? I’m using Microsoft Word on my MacBook Air if that matters.
I read that Adobe Flash has been EOL’d (whatever that means) as of January 1, 2021, and must be removed to avoid security problems. Okay. What is Adobe Flash, will it impact my Web experience and how do I safely remove Flash from my Windows PC and Mac system?
I’ve been using Safari on my Mac system and am wondering what I can do to manage and modify my bookmarks? I don’t want to go into the Bookmark Manager if I can help it; it’s awful!
I’m dabbling in graphic design on my new iMac and am trying to figure out the easiest way to identify and match colors from other images. For example, if I wanted to match the color of a company logo, how can I figure out the RGB hexadecimal value of a specific pixel on screen?
I’m a teacher and find that I use Zoom a lot to present lectures. I generally use PowerPoint to organize my content, and it’s really frustrating that PowerPoint takes over the entire screen in Zoom. All my toolbars vanish! Is there a way to change that in Zoom or PowerPoint?
