你有问题，我们也有答案。今天，我们将重点介绍如何掌握新的办公界面，USB引导电脑与过时的BIOS，并迅速窗口预设的位置。

学习新的办公功能区

Dear How-To Geek,

I feel silly asking this (in light of how long the new Office interface has been out) but my company finally got around to upgrading from Windows XP and Office 2000 so the new interface it totally new to me. Can you recommend any resources for quickly learning the Office ribbon and the new changes? I feel completely lost after two decades of the old Office interface. Help!

Sincerely,

Where the Hell is Everything?

亲爱的，他妈的在哪儿，

我们认为大多数人在过去几年的某个时候都和你在一起。“地狱在哪里…”可能是新功能区界面的口号。你可以在网上浏览一些枯燥的教程，甚至可以得到一本关于这个主题的很有分量的书，但是学习新东西的最好方法就是动手。Ribbon Hero将学习新的Office功能和Ribbon布局变成了一个游戏。提醒你，这不是一轮充满活力的团队堡垒，但它比阅读一份训练文件要有趣得多。在这里查看如何安装和配置Ribbon Hero。你很快就会教你的同事新把戏。

使用旧bios通过u**引导

Dear How-To Geek,

I’m trying to repurpose some old computers by updating them with lightweight Linux distros but the BIOS on most of the machines is ancient and creaky. How ancient? It doesn’t even support booting from a USB device! I have a large flash drive that I’ve turned into a master installation tool for jobs like this but I can’t use it. The computers in question have USB ports; they just aren’t recognized during the boot process. What can I do?

亲爱的USB启动，

你在为旧硬件注入活力真是太好了！你已经遇到了老式bios的一个局限性，USB就在身边，但是没有人想过要启动它。幸运的是，如果你有一台足够老的电脑，有这样的BIOS，它可能也有一个软盘驱动器或CDROM驱动器。虽然您可以为您的应用程序**一个可引导的CDROM，但我们知道您希望继续使用您**的主USB安装程序。有鉴于此，我们推荐PLoP引导管理器。把它想象成你的启动管理器的启动管理器。使用它，您可以创建一个可引导软盘或光盘，将使USB启动您的主USB驱动器。**一张CD和一张软盘，你的工具箱里就有了未来电脑翻新项目所需的一切。在这里阅读有关使用PLoP引导管理器创建可引导媒体的内容。

将窗口捕捉到预设坐标

Dear How-To Geek,

Once upon a time I had a company laptop that came with a little utility that snapped windows to preset areas of the screen. This was long before the snap-to-side features in Windows 7. You could essentially configure your screen into a grid pattern of your choosing and then windows would neatly snap into those grids. I have no idea what it was called or if was anymore than a gimmick from the computer manufacturer, but I’d really like to have it on my new computer!

亲爱的Bend and Snap，

如果非要猜的话，我们会猜你的公司一定有一套Acer的笔记本电脑，因为你描述的程序听起来和Acer GridVista一模一样。幸运的是，这个应用程序非常流行，Acer独立于他们的硬件发布了它。如果你碰巧升级到了多显示器设置，应用程序甚至支持多个显示器许多配置很方便安排IM窗口和其他辅助通信工具。有关更多信息，请参阅我们的安装和配置Acer GridVista指南。
