How to assign a drive letter
To assign a drive letter to a drive, a partition, or a volume, follow these steps:
1. Log on as Administrator or as a member of the Administrators group.
2. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Performance and Maintenance.
Note If you do not see Performance and Maintenance, go to step 3. Performance and Maintenance appears in Control Panel only if you use Category view. If you use Classic view, Performance and Maintenance does not appear.
3. Click Administrative Tools, double-click Computer Management, and then click Disk Management in the left pane.
4. Right-click the drive, the partition, the logical drive, or the volume that you want to assign a drive letter to, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
5. Click Add.
6. Click Assign the following drive letter if it is not already selected, and then either accept the default drive letter or click the drive letter that you want to use.
7. Click OK.

Occasionally Microsoft Word converts everything to stuff that looks like this:

{addin encite} {page}

I don’t know why. To fix it, do this:

1. Within Microsoft Word 2007 go to the Office icon in the upper left, and click “Word Options” at the bottom of this window.
2. Click on the Advanced option on the left hand side and scroll down to the section titled “Show Document Content.”
3. Uncheck the item titled “Show field codes instead of their values” and click OK.
4. The document should now appear normal.

I wanted to figure out if it was new residents or old residents living in a particular part of the city in 1960.
1. Click on selection in tools

2. Highlight all the census tracts you want. Be careful because some tracts will appear to be highlighted when they are not.
3. In TOC, right click on layer.

4. Click on selection, then create layer from selected features.

5. You can export this layer from there as a separate .dbf. I’m not sure how the shapefile works, i.e., does it stay attached ?  (No, it doesn’t).

Remember — 6th street needs to be written as 06th street in order to be recognized.

From the References menu, choose New Reference

1.Enter all of the bibliographic information that the references have in common (such as the year, book title, publisher, and city for different sections from one book).
2.Close the reference when you are finished. It remains selected in the Library window.
3.Choose Ctrl-C from the Edit menu.
4.Use the Ctrl-V command to paste the reference several times, to create as many partially-filled references as you need. You should paste directly to the Library window—do not open a new reference.
