<p>Tabs on your browser are nice but they have a problem. If you are trying to follow instructions or paraphrase one article while editing another, going back and forth via the tabs is a pain. If you’re like me you have forgotten what you read by the time the other page comes up. | <p>Tabs on your browser are nice but they have a problem.

</p><p>You may already do this but if not try this: split your screen to display both pages at the same time. Call up your browser (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) TWICE and then reduce the size of each image to half the screen and display them side by side. That way you can work on one article while referring to the other at the same time. You can even reduce the width of one article to hide the sidebars, for example, to just include the material you need to refer too, while increasing the size of the other you may be editing. | </p><p>You may already do this but if not try this: split your screen to display both pages at the same time.

</p><p> | </p><p>Along with this I would encourage you all to have multiple monitors. You can get them used in computer repair shops very cheap. Generally, if all you have is a single video card in your computer, it will handle two monitors. If you want more than two monitors like I have, you may have to add an additional video card, but video cards are not expensive either. Besides it is impressive to your friends who may think you cannot walk and chew gum at the same time. | ||

<p>Have you ever tried to paste some material into the wiki or yammer that was created in Word or some other word processing program only to find that the enlarged text, for example, was still large when you were pasting the material? This is very often the case when pasting material from the internet. | <p>Have you ever tried to paste some material into the wiki or yammer that was created in Word or some other word processing program only to find that the enlarged text, for example, was still large when you were pasting the material?
