If you are working on an academic paper like I do, you may need to know if your word document meets a certain length requirements. There are three ways to count your document's word count.

To know the current word count of a document, open the document and right click on the status bar at the bottom of the Word 2010 window. The context menu which comes up will have an entry named “Word Count” which will tell you the current word count.

Click on “Word Count” and you can then have the count displayed in the status bar at all times.

I just discovered something totally new today! YouTube website has hidden a playable version of Snake in some videos which you can enjoy for hours.

In order to access the classic arcade game go to a video with the new playback style such as this one of a black screen, click on the video window and make sure to pause the video, then press and hold the left arrow key on your keyboard. Keep the key pressed for around three seconds and press the down key and behold!

I have tried it myself and it works but appears only to be available when using the Flash versions of video.

Hope you enjoy the game. Have fun!

Now while I was going through things I thought why not learn how she got the template and teach others so they won't face the same fate as I did when facing the same situation.

To make a free brochure take the following steps:

Step 1: Click File. Choose the option New and
