Mac Tip for Getting Arrow Keys to Work with Google Docs Spreadsheet

I use Google Docs a lot to share spreadsheets with other workers.  This allows workers to collaborate on the same document from different computers, devices and from different places.

The other day I was trying to quickly review some information on a very large Google Docs spreadsheet and found that my arrow keys were not working to let me quickly move from right to left horizontally through the spreadsheet.

Found out that if you switch the view of the spreadsheet from the spreadsheet view to the list view and back to spreadsheet view that arrow keys became functional again.

Hope this helps someone else who has had this same problem.

If you want to remove someone from the auto-fill option in Mail app

If you want to remove someone from the auto-fill option in Mail app, you can delete them from your address book or contact list; however, there is another solution that might work that let's you keep the contact info just in case you need it later.

If you remove the email address of the person from your contacts or address book, then this eliminates them as an auto-fill in mail.

But you may want to keep their email in the notes section of the address book, just in case you need to have that email info at a later time. Use edit option to copy their email and paste in notes section on their card info in Address book and then select the - to remove it from emails.


You may also want to make sure their email is not also listed somewhere in the Previous Recipients' list in the Mail app.


To remove a name from the previous recipient's list, 

Select "Window" from the menu bar.

Select "Previous Recipients" from the pull down options.

A list of names that you have typed in or chosen before will appear in a popup window.

You can remove any by selecting the name and then clicking on the "Remove from List" button in lower corner.

Wiggle gifs a great way to view some cool 3D photos.

Been enjoying my Poppy 3D camera, an iPhone accessory that allows me to take 3D photos and videos.  The latest Poppy 3D app for the camera allows users to make cool wiggle gifs, so others can view their 3D photos in an unusual way without using the Poppy.  

Poppy3D.com is a creative community for 3D photography.
