Word 2007 has the nasty habit of turning any ordinal number you enter (like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc) into a formatted number where the text following the number is a superscript. Here's how to turn that off.
- Click on the Office button in the upper corner and select the Word Options button from the bottom of the menu that is shown.
- In the left hand pane, click Proofing.
- In the Replace section, uncheck the box next to Ordinals (1st) with superscript.
- Click OK as needed to save your changes.

Windows 7 : Taskbar Too Big? Shrink It!
By default, Windows 7's Taskbar takes up more room at the bottom of the screen than the Taskbar in previous versions of Windows. This makes the buttons easier to see, plus they are easier to press if you are using a touch screen.
Some people may use a smaller monitor and find the Taskbar takes up too much room, and others need a little extra room for open applications and other windows. Thus, Windows 7 has an option that shrinks the taskbar size slightly for those that could use the extra pixels:
1. Right-click an empty area of the taskbar and choose "Properties".
2. The "Taskbar and Start Menu Properties" multi-tabbed dialog box appears. Check "Use small icons".
