| What's a default? Did I do something wrong? |
| I should NEVER assume that everyone understands computer terms. This week I worked with a client who was confused because she entered an e-mail address in her address book and it displayed as "default." She was sure she had done something wrong because her understanding of "default" was something bad. She kept trying to change the e-mail address in an attempt to make "default" go away. When she explained her concern I told her that in the computer world default means "Settings or options the computer automatically uses if the user does not change them." In her case, her e-mail address book would have allowed her to enter multiple e-mail addresses for one person and let her indicate which one (default) was the preferred address. Other types of default settings that may be changed are the font and margins in Microsoft Word. The default font for documents is Times New Roman 12 pt. The default margins are 1" top and bottom and 1.5" left and right sides. Both of my books have a glossary that give easy-to-understand definitions of many computer terms. Both books also explain how to change the default margins in Word. Click here to go to my website to order one or both of the books. Free shipping still applies when you order both books.
