Technology Q&A

Several questions about how to get those vanished tabs at the bottom of an Excel workbook to reappear, Program Word to identify the last person who reviewed a memo, add the file and path to a document or worksheet so you can find it easier later, the power of the new multifunction Calculator in Windows 7, and shortcuts for Windows 7 are answered. Any number of things can trigger that disappearing act -- most commonly when you inadvertently disconnect the workbook window from the Excel window when using the trio of Restore Window buttons on the title bar (upper right of the Excel screen) and move the window under the status bar. The Windows 7 Calculator has been beefed up with Programmer, Statistics and Scientific modes. They include templates that calculate gas mileage, hourly wages, mortgage payments, leases and much more.
