Windows 'Search' Prompt in Outlook 2010

If you haven’t already installed Windows Search, you’ll receive a prompt whenever you open Microsoft Outlook 2010. Installing Windows Search will make this prompt go away (and it will let you enable Instant Search in Outlook), but that’s not the only way to disable the prompt. People who don’t want to use Windows Search can follow these directions: click the File table and then click Options. When the Outlook Options window appears, click the Search tab and then clear the Show Prompt To Enable Instant Search box.

Insert a Checkmark in Word

Finding that elusive checkmark in Word can be a hassle.  When the document is open in Word click on the 'Insert' tab then 'Symbols' over on the right, then on 'more symbols'.  You will see this window:

In the 'character code' text box enter--252, then 'Insert' then 'Close'.  

If you want to go the long way then in the Font selection bar scroll down to 'Windings', and then scroll the symbols all the way down to the last selections--there you will see the checkmark.
