Always Display the Word Count in Google Docs

Google Docs has long provided a fairly simple word counting tool. The G Suite editing application will soon have a counter always visible in the lower left corner of your screen on the web.

Displaying this information is useful for users working on documents that require a minimum or maximum number of words. This feature is best suited for shorter documents, such as newspaper articles or school essays. For longer documents, such as novels or screenplays, we recommend displaying the word count under Tools > Word Count. read more

How to Customize Steam Search Settings

All I see on Valve’s Steam’s “New and Trend” list are games I know I’ll never play – including those weird sexy games, quick access to hell games and other quirks.

Fortunately, there is a way to strongly filter the games you see on Steam, but it’s somewhat buried in Steam’s clumsy interface. Here’s how to do it.

How to Search the Steam Store

Enable Scan Network Files with Windows Defender

If your Windows Defender displays an error message that says: “Items skipped during the scan” this may be because you have added an exclusion in your scan settings or you have disabled network scanning on your system. If you encounter this problem, you may need to enable network scanning in Windows Defender on Windows 10 to resolve the issue.

Windows security is built into Windows 10 and includes an antivirus program called Windows Defender Antivirus.

Windows Defender Antivirus helps protect your PC from malicious software (malware) such as viruses, spyware, and other potentially unwanted software. Malware can infect your PC without your knowledge: It can be installed from an e-mail message when you connect to the Internet or when you install certain applications using a USB stick, CD, DVD, or other removable media. Some malicious software can also be programmed to run at unexpected times, not just when it is installed. read more

Enable Push to Talk in Discord

Discord is a relatively new VoIP service for gamers, like TeamSpeak, which was introduced a few years ago. Currently, it is becoming the most popular service that people use to communicate with each other during their gaming sessions. First of all, you need a good headset for smooth voice communication.

But if you have a poor headset that picks up some of the background noise, or if you use the internal microphone on your computer or laptop, others who participate in your voice chat will be confused by the background noise and echoes that your microphone produces. If you are one of the people causing these problems and you are interfering with other people’s playing, we strongly recommend that you use the Push to Talk feature available in Discord. If you don’t know how to turn it on, we will see how to activate the “Push to Talk in Discord” function: read more

How to Use the Google Docs Outline Tool

Google Docs’ new outline tool makes it easy to navigate through a large document with just one click. This feature was recently announced to make it easier for users to manage and move through long Google Docs documents.

The navigation tool allows you to select the section you want to access or return to, rather than scrolling through the document and guessing where you might end up.

The sketch tool works like a table of contents, but it’s slightly smarter. Instead of inserting a table of contents manually, you simply bold or underline the text. The outline tool also stays in the left field when you scroll through the document. read more
