I've been using Macs for years. Just today I accidentally found that I can quickly view the front of a document that is sitting on my desktop by highlighting it with the cursor and then tapping the spacebar. All this time I've been double-clicking to open the whole document just to see that first page. Doh!
Got a tip for us?
