(The image at right shows two normal size left and right arrow keys, and two half-size up and down arrow keys.) A: The same thing happened to me earlier this year, and I found this frustrating, too.

Q: I was disappointed to find that Excel’s AutoSum tool produced an error in my workbook, which I did not catch until it was too late. The problem resulted when I highlighted row 15 (as pictured below), and then clicked the AutoSum tool to insert formula totals at the bottom of each column.

Q: I use a lot of tables in Word, and it would be nice if the Tab key would actually indent my table data, but that functionality does not work—the Tab key simply moves my cursor to the next cell in the table. Is there a setting that makes the Tab key work properly in a table? A: To indent text in a table cell, press Ctrl+Tab.

Q: We use a wall map with pushpins to keep track of the location of our service technicians, but this manual method requires continual phone calls and pushpin adjustments. Can you recommend a cheap and easy technology solution that would enable us to see where our service technicians are and possibly keep a record of their travel routes? A: Install the Google Latitude app (free) on each of your service technicians’ smartphones.
