Stop me if this sounds familiar: You’re typing away in a document or email, and then you suddenly realize you’ve been typing in ALL CAPS FOR THE PAST THREE SENTENCES (and the person you’re writing to will think you’re YELLING AT THEM). Here’s a simple fix for Windows users.
before you waste time typing in all capital letters. You can tell Windows to let you know when you’ve hit the Caps Lock, Scroll Lock or Num Lock keys. This is done by activating an audible beep.
Here’s how to do it:
In Windows 7, click Start and then in the
Control Panel,
click Ease of Access Centre. Now select ”
Make keyboard easier to use” and
tick the little box beside “
Turn on toggle keys.” Now you’ll hear a tone when you press Caps Lock, Scroll Lock or Num Lock keys.
In Windows XP or Windows Vista, it’s more or less the same process, but in
Control Panel (in “Category” or “Classic” view), click “
Accessibility Options.” Now
use your mouse to put a tick in the “
Use ToggleKeys”
checkbox.
Click OK to exit the properties window and close the Control Panel.
That’s it!
