Link to Text Fragment extension

Google has a great new extension.
Did you ever have to direct students to a specific place within a long web document?

Link to Text Fragment is simple to use.
Highlight some text (more than a couple of words) and right-click. The extension will appear as one of your choices.


Click and it will copy a link to your clipboard that will direct students to the specific spot on the site.

Hebrew Vowels (Niqud) for Microsoft Windows and Word

This is very old news, but a few people asked me about it, so maybe it's worth a post.

To enter niqud in Word, for example:

1. Make sure you are in HEBREW language mode (Alt+Shift).
2. Engage Caps Lock
3. Place your cursor after the letter over/under/in which you want to inset niqud.
4. Hold down the Shift key and click the following:



If you need to use multiple nequdot on the same letter (Let's say, a Shin with a dagesh in it and a patach under it) the order is Dagesh, shin/Sin dot, vowel.

[The above chart is originally from the website http://www.qsm.co.il/Hebrew/wniqud.htm, which no longer exists.]
