ChangeThis has an excerpt from "Chindia Rising:How China and India Will Benefit Your Business," by Jagdish N. Sheth. If the excerpt provides a model for the whole book, the writing is slightly jarring, like the name 'Chindia' itself. Many of the assertions seem overstated. Sheth argues for...
The other day I showed you how to remove e-mail and Web hyperlinks from text copied and pasted into a Word document. Okay, but what about formatting? What if you want to rid pasted text of weird line spacing, italics, and the like? Turns out there's an easy shortcut for...
When you copy text from an e-mail, Web page, or another source into a Word document, any URLs or e-mail addresses contained within that text usually wind up hyperlinked.

When it comes to wording your message, less is more. You're giving your audience headlines. They don't need to and are usually not expecting to become experts on the subject as a result of hearing your talk. If you're using slides, limit the content of each one to a few...
Sit amongst a group of friends and associates and mention the word budget, and suddenly everyone has somewhere else they need to be. Usually no one wants to talk about budgets, no one wants to think about budgets, and no one wants to follow a budget. However, when looked at...
Do you strive for perfection? Do you spend countless hours doing and redoing just to get something just right? Are the "Benefits" of technology like word processors and networked printers driving you to make version after version of documents when a little dab of white out would do you just...
