The File Assistants menu

One of our favorite features on the File Assistants menu is the very first feature, Favorite Files, Folders and Worksheets. Instead of searching through folders for the file we want, it is always in our list of favorites.

If you ever need to email a file, then use the copy path and filename to the clipboard feature. Then in your email program, Do a Ctrl+V or right-click and paste to tell it which file to email. It’s a great time saver.

The Save and Close Multiple Files features have proven useful. They do just what they say! And the Delete the Active File feature helps keep our folders clean.

The Rename and Move the active file feature is useful, especially when you realize that the name is not quite right,or you want to change the file’s folder. Instead of closing the file, renaming and moving it via Windows Explorer, you can do it all with just one click.
