Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Determine your account-related values. Search for banks with few or no fees. Narrow down your bank options. Visit the bank's website or branch location.

Answer: Checking accounts come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from your average spending account to high-interest investments for frequent depositors. You'll need to consider the following criteria before searching for a branch to suit your needs: Whether or not you're a student. Most large banks offer a lenient account with reduced or non-existent fees for students; some banks, such as Chase, will even extend the account's usage to cover an additional year after your student status expires. Whether or not you want to accrue interest. Most banks that offer interest on their checking accounts only do so for large account balances (e.g., $2,500 or more). Since depositing and holding large amounts of money in your checking is a risky endeavor, consider opening a savings account in tandem with your checking; most banks offer this option, and most savings accounts have a standard interest rate by default. Whether or not you're comfortable with an online-only bank. Brick-and-mortar bank branches are often convenient; however, online banking services will usually apply fewer fees and offer higher interest rates on your accounts. Whether or not your job offers direct deposit. While a fair amount of larger banks charge a monthly fee for simply having a checking account, you can usually waive this fee by having your checks deposited directly into your checking account. Though you'll likely want to stick with whatever branch is local and convenient, most large banks charge monthly fees, ATM fees, and more in order to cover their own expenses. Ideally, your selected branch will charge little or no money for the following services: ATM withdrawal - If you choose to open an account with an obscure or non-local bank (for example, Wells Fargo has no branches or ATMs in Missouri), you'll have to pay a few dollars for every ATM withdrawal with that bank's card; similarly, using a specific bank's card with a different bank's ATM will often incur a fee. Some banks, such as Compass Bank, will reimburse your ATM fees on a monthly (or even daily) basis. Minimum balance maintenance - Many larger banks will charge a small monthly fee if your checking account has less than a certain amount in it (for example, Chase charge $10/month for a basic checking account with a balance less than $1,500). If you don't intend to keep enough money in your checking account to avoid the fee, look for a bank with no maintenance fees. Many student accounts fit this criterion. Overdraft - If you overdraw your checking account, most banks will charge an additional fee on top of the difference; the average overdraft fee is around $34. While you probably won't be able to find a bank with no overdraft policy, look for one that offers a grace period or a reduced fee, such as Huntington. Maximum number of transactions - Some banks will charge a fee to your checking account after a certain amount of transactions in a month. Since you're likely setting up a checking account for the purpose of spending money, this is a fee you'll want to avoid. After you eliminate any banks with high fees or unwanted attributes, consider your remaining options. In order to determine the best candidate, you'll need to complete the following actions: Research your banks' press - Typing the name of one of your bank options into a search engine should bring up customer reviews and pertinent news articles. If one of the banks you're considering has a fair amount of poor press, you might want to cross it off of your list. Read the fine print - You'll want to visit your banks' online sites or physical locations and inquire about opening a checking account. Generally-speaking, you should be able to unearth any hidden fees or paid services you don't want. Look for any work-based incentives - If your job offers free access to a checking account or increased interest at a particular bank, you should absolutely consider taking advantage of this feature. Look for mobile support - Being able to access your accounts on-the-go is extremely important in the event of an emergency; for this reason, you should avoid banks that don't have mobile app support. Once you've decided on a bank that fits your specific criteria, it's time to set up your checking account!

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Grab a clipper and attach the desired guard. Run the clipper along the child's head, starting at the back. Use a longer guard length to give your child a fade. Clean up the neckline. Finish by trimming around the ear.

Answer: Make sure to have a conversation with your child before starting the haircut. You need to agree with them as to how short they'd like their hair. This is important to avoid grumpy children after the haircut. You can use Google to find images with the corresponding guard number (such as number 3) to show your child what to expect. The smaller the guard number, the more hair you'll take off. If the child's hair is particularly long, you may want to start by trimming their hair with scissors before using a clipper. Make sure to keep your strokes slow and smooth. Work your way up towards the crown, and finish by cutting the sides. With this method, your child's hair will be one uniform length. If you'd like their hair to be longer on top, you can give them a fade. A fade refers to a haircut where the hair is longer on top of the head than the sides and back. For instance, if you used a number 3 guard for the top of the head, you might use a number 2 guard for the sides. Start from the nape of the neck, bringing the clipper up towards the bottom of the crown. As you do, bring the clipper towards you in an arc to blend the different lengths together. Take the guard off the clipper, so it will cut hair to the skin. At the neckline, trim until the hair forms a straight line across the neck at your desired height. Then, turn the clippers over to clean up the fuzz below this line. Leave the guard off the clipper. Gently fold down your child's ear, then cut the hair, following the ear with your clipper as if you were tracing an ear pattern in their hair. Don't cut too high: you're just cleaning up the hair around the ear. For the sideburns, just place the clipper straight across the sideburn at the desired length and cut. Look at your child from the front to make sure the sideburns are even.

Problem: Write an article based on this summary: Ensure Excel or OpenOffice is installed. Click the "Insert object" button in WordPad. Select the Worksheet option. Fill out the table data in the spreadsheet program. Format the text. Resize your cells. Close the spreadsheet editor. Move and resize the table. Double-click the table to make edits.

Answer:
If you need a little more control over the table, you can use a spreadsheet program. You'll essentially be inserting a spreadsheet into your WordPad document. This requires a compatible spreadsheet editor. WordPad supports Excel and and OpenDocument formats. OpenOffice and LibreOffice are both free office suites that support the OpenDocument format. See How to Install Open Office for detailed instructions on installing OpenOffice for free. In newer versions, this can be found in the Insert section of the Home tab. In older versions of WordPad, click the "Insert" menu and select "Object". A list of objects that you can insert will appear. If you have Excel installed, you can select "Excel Worksheet". If you have OpenOffice or LibreOffice installed, you can select "OpenDocument Spreadsheet". Selecting one of these objects will insert a blank spreadsheet in your WordPad document, and your spreadsheet program will open in another window. After inserting the table, Excel or your OpenDocument spreadsheet editor will open. Anything you enter into the cells in your spreadsheet editor will appear in the table that you inserted into the WordPad document. Go through each cell and fill out the table with the important information. Even though only a small range of cells is shown in WordPad, the range will expand as you add data outside of the displayed range. If the table is smaller than the initial range, the table will shrink to fit your data. You can use the text formatting tools in your spreadsheet program to change the look for the text in the cells. You can change the font, size, color, and emphasis. Formatting text in Excel or your other spreadsheet program is very similar to formatting text in a word processor. The changes you make to the formatting will be displayed immediately in the WordPad table. You can create headers by bolding the contents of the first row in the spreadsheet program. Changes in the size of the rows and columns in your spreadsheet editor will be reflected in the table in your WordPad document immediately. Change the cell size to make your information easy to read. This will finalize the data and you'll see your finished table in WordPad. You can drag the boxes around the edge of the table to resize it. The content of the table will grow or shrink to match the new size. You can click and drag the table around your document as well. This will open your spreadsheet editor, allowing you to change the table data. If you've resized the table, it will be reverted to the original size when you edit it. You'll have to resize it again after editing.
