  A useful tip I never see: To add a new line in an Excel Spreadsheet Cell: At the end of the data entry point, press Ctrl and hit Enter. Voila! A new line in a cell.
  
  Very handy for adding headings without using wrap.

  Here's my favorite basic for Windows: In a web browser like IE or Firefox, instead of typing a full URL, just type the domain and hit .
