If you work with multiple applications and windows at the same time, it can be frustrating to constantly switch from one window to another. Depending on what you’re working on, you might need to look at two different windows at the same time. For instance, if you’re copying information from a document into a spreadsheet it can be helpful to see those two windows side by side.

The split screen feature should help you with that. As the name suggests it will split your screen into two halves and allow you to view two apps side by side simultaneously. For example, it is possible to have Safari in full-screen mode and then divide the screen into two halves to have another application, such as a text editor next to it. This is a very useful feature for all techies, as well as for regular users.

From the arrival of OS X El Capitan, Mac users can take advantage of applications in full screen and in a split view of the screen as well. The split screen on Mac devices is called Split View. Split View adjusts the window sizes automatically, and you can later adjust how wide you would like each window to be. Split View is pretty easy to use, although accessing it may be tricky until you get used to it. 

There are two ways to access Split View or split screen mode on Mac and below we will explain both methods.

How To Split Screen on Mac From Any Window

Undoubtedly, the easiest way to access Split View from any window on macOS is as easy as holding the green maximize button which is located at the top left part of the window. The latest macOS versions like macOS Catalina and Big Sur differ a little bit in the steps required to access the Split View mode. Below we will show you the steps for macOS Catalina and Big Sur, as well as other versions of the operating system.

macOS Catalina and Big Sur

To split screen on macOS Catalina and Big Sur:

Step 1:

Head over to the top left corner of the window that is currently open, click and hold the green circle with outward arrows.

Step 2: 

In the menu that appears, select the “Tile Window to the Left of Screen” or “Tile Window to the Right of Screen” options. The window will fill the chosen area. There is also an option to enter the full screen if you want to use it.

Step 3:

Now the only thing left is to select the second window you would like to open in the empty half of the screen.

Older Versions of macOS

This implies to all of the operating systems starting from OS X El Capitan all the way you macOS Catalina.

Step 1:

Head over to the top left corner of the window that is currently open, click and hold the green circle with outward arrows.

Step 2:

The window will shrink instantly and you will be able to drag it to the side of the screen of your choice.

Step 3:

Release the window to place it on the left or right side.

Step 4:

Now the only thing left is to select the second window you would like to open in the empty half of the screen.

How To Split Screen on Mac from Mission Control

Perhaps this way of accessing Split View on Mac isn’t as direct as the previous ones, but for the people who frequently use Mission Control can be a good option. 

Step 1:

Access Mission Control on your macOS device. There are a few ways you can do this:

• Press the F3 function key on your Apple keyboard,
• Hold Control + Up Arrow keys at the same time,
• Swipe up with three fingers on Magic Trackpad
• Double-tap with two fingers on the surface of the Magic Mouse

Step 2:

All of the open apps will be automatically positioned and presented to you. Drag and drop the window you want to use in split screen to the top bar outside of any of the created desktops.

Step 3:

Drag the second window you would like to use in split screen mode over the thumbnail image of the first window you put in the top bar in the previous step. Now those 2 windows should be in split screen mode.

How To Adjust Windows in Split Screen Mode on Mac

In Split View mode it is possible to adjust the real estate of the screen that a certain window occupies. To do this, you just need to place the mouse cursor over the line between the two windows. When the mouse cursor becomes a horizontal line with an arrow at each end, simply click and move the separation line to the side you want. You will immediately see how both windows change their sizes.

How To Exit the Split View Mode on Mac

If you want to exit the Split View mode on your macOS device simply press the Escape button to return windows back to normal. This method may not work if the Escape button has a different function in one of the applications. In this case, you can click the green circle in the upper left corner of the window to exit one of the applications, the other window will go to the full-screen mode which you can then minimize.

For anyone that multitasks, the split screen feature is a must, especially if you have only one display at your disposal. What productivity tips do you use on your macOS device?

Microsoft Word can be found in the Windows operating systems since 1989. It was at this time that the popularity of this word processor rose dramatically. Nowadays it is safe to say that Microsoft Word is one of the most popular word processing tools used by both companies and individuals on a regular basis. The use of Microsoft Word is very important in any office environment today. With Word, you can write and create any type of document, make graphs, and even simple designs for your writings. One of the many features it includes is the insertion of comments in the text.

The majority of casual users don’t know how useful the Review tab in Microsoft Word can be and in most cases, it ends up being underrated by them. Unless you are serious about writing or are part of a bigger writing team, chances are that you don’t know anything about adding comments and tracking changes in Microsoft Word. The edited text is usually crossed out in the document and new text is added with a different color making changes more noticeable. This way the editor will be informed of any changes made, and the writer will better understand potential improvements or editor preferences.

Feedback is also an important thing. Editors are happy because they can create a medium for suggestions that will not overlap or interfere with the actual text. Comments are shown on the side of the document and have a dotted line that leads to the part of the document where the comment is made. Comments can be beneficial to writers as well. Especially when working on large projects, comments can become something like short summaries of certain chapters or paragraphs. This helps writers maintain their focus while working on a piece.

There is also one BIG problem – too many comments in the document. This is especially true if the whole team is working on the same project where even the comment section can overflow once multiple people start sharing their thoughts and ideas. When it comes time to clean things up, knowing how to remove comments in Word is a must. Below we will show you methods you can use to remove comments in Word documents for Windows or Mac.

How To Remove Comments in Word on Windows and macOS

Removing comments in Microsoft Word can be done very easily in just a few clicks. The process is the same for both Windows and macOS.

Step 1:

Open the commented document and select the comment you want to delete.

Step 2:

Head over to the Review tab and click the arrow next to the Delete comment button.

Step 3:

After clicking on the arrow you will be presented with the 3 options to choose from:

• Delete: delete the selected comment,
• Delete All Comments Shown: delete all comments that are not yours;
• Delete All Comments in Document: delete all comments.

Depending on what you have selected, different comments will be deleted.

It is worth mentioning the difference between Delete and Resolve. The resolve option found in the same section, allows you to keep the comment in the document, but make it less visible for later reference. In this way, the comment is not deleted, but is archived.

How To Add Comments in Word on Windows and macOS

The comment function in Word is activated by default, so it can be used at any time to include clarifications for readers of the documents.

Step 1:

Open the document you would like to add comments to and select part of the document that is in question.

Step 2: 

Once the word or part of the document is selected, head over to the Review tab and click on the New Comment button.

Step 3:

The comment will be added to the right margin of the document or, rather, an empty box will show in which you can now write your comment.

If you want to share your thoughts and experiences with comments (or anything else) in Word, feel free to do so in the comment section below, and if you want to check other tips and tricks related to Microsoft Word feel free to visit our blog.

Excel is a computer program developed by Microsoft Corporation and is part of the Office suite that includes programs such as Word, OneNote, OneDrive, PowerPoint, and others. Excel differs from previously mentioned programs because it allows users to work with numerical data.

Unlike with Microsoft Word which is a word processor, in Excel the data is organized in columns and rows that create cells where users can enter their data. With data stored in Excel cells, users can perform basic arithmetic calculations and apply more complex mathematical or statistical functions.

This data can then be used to generate reports and create easy-to-read graphs and pivot tables allowing for a better understanding of the data presented. With that said, Excel is truly a remarkable tool for storing and dealing with a great amount of data. 

How To Merge Cells in Excel

When working within a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet often than not you will find yourself in a situation where it is necessary to merge two or more cells into one. This is usually needed if you have to add a heading or title to a row, column, or section on your spreadsheet. Follow the steps below and find out how to merge cells in an Excel spreadsheet.

How To Merge Cells in Excel From the Home Tab

Step 1:

Open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains cells that you would like to merge. 

Step 2:

Now you need to select the cells you would like to merge. Click on the first cell with the cursor, hold down the left button, and drag the mouse until all the cells you want to merge are selected.

Step 3:

Head over to the home tab and click on Merge & Center button in order to merge your cells. There is also a small arrow next to the Merge & Center button which opens various merging options upon clicking. Available options are: Merge & Center, Merge Across, Merge Cells, Unmerge Cells.

Note: The important thing to remember is that when merging cells in Excel, only the content of the upper-left cell is preserved. Text in other cells will be automatically deleted. If you want to retain the data from other cells simply copy it to another place before merging.

How To Merge Cells in Excel Using CONCATENATE Formula

Using CONCATENATE formula is a great way to merge cells without losing data in other merged cells. Most people would agree that this is actually a proper way to merge cells in Excel. 

Step 1:

Open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains cells that you would like to merge. 

Step 2:

Using CONCATENATE formula actually means combining the data of multiple cells into one rather than merging them. So in this step, you need to select the cell you would like to be filled with data from the cells you want to merge. 

Step 3:

Once you selected the cell head over to the formula bar and type =CONCATENATE(Cells you would like to merge separated by “,”). In our case the formula looks like this: =CONCATENATE(D12,D13,E12,E13)

Step 4:

Now you can merge desired cells like you normally would and simply copy and paste data you combined with CONCATENATE function to that new merged cell. 

How To Unmerge Cells in Excel

Step 1:

Open a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that contains cells that you would like to unmerge. 

Step 2:

Select the cell you would like to unmerge by clicking on it.

Step 3:

Head over to the home tab and click on the small arrow next to the Merge & Center button and select Unmerge Cells from the drop-down menu. Your cells should be unmerged now. 

Note: Keep in mind that the data from the unmerged cells won’t be reverted to the values they were before merging them. If you don’t remember where your merged cells are, you can use the Find command to quickly locate merged cells in the spreadsheet. 

We hope you enjoyed reading our article and that from now on you will merge cells in Excel like a pro. If you want to check other Excel tips and tricks, feel free to visit our blog.

Microsoft Excel is a computer program that is part of the bigger Microsoft 365 suite. The program consists of an arrangement of rows and columns that work like spreadsheets and facilitate the handling and interpretation of basically any type of data. It is also very customizable so each user can make it work according to his specific requirements.

MS Excel is mostly used for detailed data recording, as well as text processing and advanced calculations using mathematical functions. As if this is not enough, MS Excel also offers all the necessary tools to create beautiful graphs to present the desired information in a more visual and understandable way.

Moreover, the spreadsheet software has an interesting feature known as “error bars” which are basically a graphical representation of data variability. Simply said, they represent the precision of a measurement. Error bars usually show standard deviation or margin of error (how far the true value is from the determined one). We invite you to follow along and learn how to add error bars in Excel.

Types of Error Bars in Excel

There are three different types of error bars in Excel and in this part, we will go through each of them individually so you would have a better understanding of their meanings.

“Standard Error” error bar:

As the name suggests, it represents a standard error of the mean for all of the values in the chart. What we mean by that is that it shows how far the mean of the data is likely to be from the true value (true population mean).

“Percentage” error bar:

This one is fairly simple and straightforward. It shows the percentage variation for each data point. For example, if the percentage error bars have a 5% value and the data point value is 100 then the error bar will be somewhere between 95 and 105.

“Standard Deviation” error bar:

This error bar shows how close the bar is to the mean of the dataset. Microsoft Excel by default puts 1 as the value of the standard deviation, but you can change this manually if you want by going into the “More Options” menu.

“Fixed Value” error bar:

This shows the error bars where the margin of error is fixed. For example, you can specify the error bars to be 50 units, and then it will create error bars whose values will vary between -50 and + 50 units. 

“Custom” error bar:

This one is great if you want to put your own custom error bars where you can specify the upper and lower limits for each data point. You can choose to keep the custom range the same for all of the error bars or you can individually customize each error bar. This can be very useful if you expect to have different variability for different data points. 

Now we are ready to dive in and show you how to add error bars in Excel.

How to unarchive Gmail emails on desktop

Access your Gmail account through the browser on your PC or laptop. Simply type mail.google.com in the search bar of your search engine and sign in to your Gmail account.

Step 2:

Once on the main page of your Gmail account click the “All Mail” tab on the left side of your Gmail page. If you can not find it, click the “More” button and it should appear.

Step 3:

After the “All Mail” menu is open choose the message you want to unarchive by checking the box in front of the sender’s name. You can check multiple messages and unarchive them all at once. 

Step 4:

Unarchive your Gmail emails in one of the following ways:

• Click on the “Move to Inbox” button on top of the Gmail page.
• Right-click on the selected emails and choose “Move to Inbox”.

How to unarchive Gmail emails on Android

In this third tutorial, we are going to show you how to unarchive Gmail emails on Android devices. The process is somewhat similar to the one on the iOS devices.

Step 1:

Open the Gmail application on your Android device and make sure that you are signed in to your Gmail account. 

Step 2:

Clicking to the “Menu” option which is located in the upper left corner of your screen. The menu icon looks like 3 parallel strips.

Bonus tips

Unfortunately, there is not an archived label in Gmail by which you can find all archived emails, but there is a neat trick you can use to find all of your archived emails at once. Simply type the following in the Gmail search bar “-in:Sent -in:Draft -in:Inbox”. In most cases, this should list your archived emails, and if you also want to remove emails that already have a category label add “has:nouserlabels” at the end of your query. Ultimately your search query should look like this: “-in:Sent -in:Draft -in:Inbox has:nouserlabels”. 

Another good thing to know is that archived emails will appear in your inbox again if you happen to get a reply to them so don’t worry about them getting lost. 

That’s it! These are the easiest steps you can follow in order to unarchive Gmail emails on your desktop, iOS, or Android device. We hope you enjoyed reading our article and if you want to check other Gmail tips and tricks feel free to visit our blog.
