By: Hazel Gane Pilapil

Have you ever feel sick of writing non stop essays? Perceive the weight of burden associated with research and revisions?

Suffer more but feel the light of these hacks through online and offline navigation that can help you deal with your everyday routine.

1.Press the Alt button and hit on any Google Image to receive it automatically in your computer.

2.Save your PowerPoint works as a “PowerPoint Show” (.ppsx), and it will lead directly to the slideshow.

3.When you copy something from the internet, press these buttons Ctrl+Shift+V to paste it. This will prevent the text from formatting.

4.Highlight the selected text in Word and press Shift+F3 to turn it all into lowercase or all caps.

5.Close the word without saving all of a sudden? There’s no autosave either? Search asd. into file explorer under “my/this pc”. The file will be there. Windows has your back.

6.If you want to watch your favorite youtube video offline, just add “ss” to the URL between WWW. and youtube, and paste the link of your video and hit download.

7.If the Wifi at an hotel/airport costs a price, add “?.jpg” at the end of any links. They don’t redirect images.

8.If you download a “PDF” file and it ends in “.exe”, delete it automatically. It has a virus.

9.How to make your essay longer: Just press Ctrl+F, search “.” and change the font size of the periods between 12 to 14. They appear the same, but will make your document deceivingly longer.
