Control Page Up

A certain little excel command had plagued me for as long as I can remember - how in the heck do you rotate through worksheets without using your mouse? (Similar to Alt-Tabbing your way through open windows). Ivey taught me many cool excel tricks, but I never figured this one out ... until last night! When I stumbled across it completely by chance. I was trying to Ctrl+C something and for some reason was hitting Page Up instead of C (even though they not exactly keyboard neighbours). And low (lo?) and behold, I found myself on a different worksheet.
Anyways this pretty much made my life, so I thought I'd share.

Another question for my comptuer savvy readers

But first, just a sidenote: it's quite beneficial to have a lot of techy people to ask these questions of - thank you!

So, I'm using Outlook for Windows XP ... one of the newer versions (2003, maybe?) and I often use the task list as my personal "To do". However since I switched over to a more recent version (I had been using 2000 for the longest time), I can't seem to figure out how to clear the checked off tasks. Now I have a ridiculously long list of completed tasks dating way back to 2005! It's pretty annoying. I sorted the tasks so that the incomplete ones are listed first, but it's still kind of hard to tell which is which.

Oh and 5 points if you can help me. 10 if you can recommend some kind of better, free, downloadable software that keeps track of tasks.

Blogger Question

My good friend Daniel Kricke, a 20-something journalism student from Chicago, has started up a blog called Extravadanza . You should check it out, especially if you like sports and pop culture. But, he's having a problem with the blogger system and I thought I'd put it out here to all those techy types and see if someone knows the solution:

"I posted a new entry. But see how I have that blockquote at the bottom? I want to get a block quote like that on the other side of that too...like a closing quote. But it won't do it."

Anyone know? I couldn't help him, I obviously don't even know how to get ONE blockquote! (see above). 5 Albert Halls (my version of the trend sweeping the blogosphere) for the first person to figure it out.
