WASHINGTON (AP) - One word could describe visitors to the Capitol Fourth Concert Wednesday night: sweaty.

Despite high temperatures and the threat of thunderstorms, thousands of visitors from across the continent took part in Independence Day celebrations in the nation's capital.

Hosting the 32nd annual Capitol Fourth, "Dancing with the Stars'" Tom Bergeron told the audience how he was feeling the heat, exclaiming at one point that he was "sweating standing still."

But few at the event were "standing still."

Megan Hilty kicked off the action with a performance that included back up dancers dressed like a Barbershop quartet. Amber Riley, of "Glee," got audience members to their feet, clapping and dancing to "Proud Mary." Broadway actors Matthew Broderick and Kelli O'Hara performed some subtle moves of their own in a duet. Even Phillip Phillips added some energy to the single that made him an American Idol, "Home."

Other performers included singer-songwriter Javier Colon; country music star Josh Turner; R&B performers Kool & the Gang; singer Russell Watson; the National Symphony Orchestra; Olympic medalist Apolo Anton Ohno with a tribute to the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic teams; and Academy-Award winning conductor John Williams.

Despite the heat, the usual enormous crowds flocked to the Mall and monuments throughout the day. By 7 p.m., the lawn of the Capitol where the concert took place was about two-thirds filled. Men and women lined the steps of the Capitol building and filled the balconies.

The Capitol Fourth Concert started at 8 p.m., ending about an hour and a half later as the fireworks disappeared behind the Washington Monument, set just beyond the show's Jumbotrons.

The National Park Service urged those attending to use public transportation to avoid traffic during the holiday.

Takeaway: Sometimes its tempting to take shortcuts, but fight the urge when creating a new Word template.

If youve worked hard to format a document just right, you might be tempted to use that document as a template, but dont. Your new template, and consequently, any new documents you base on that template, will start life with whatever garbage the original document acquired during its lifetime. All those little attributes and attempts at things that you tried, things you didnt complete, but didnt delete - all of it ends up in every new document.The best way to create a template is to start fresh, even though that might seem inefficient.

You might also consider creating a template by opening a new document the way you always do and then saving it as a template file - but dont do this either. Your new template and its offspring will be based on your current (and probably somewhat customized) Normal template. Any customization will show up in your new template and its offspring. To illustrate this seemingly innocuous behavior, do the following:

Save Normal.dotm (Normal.dot) and close it. Now, press [Ctrl]+n to open a new document and start typing - the text will be in the color you just choose for Normal.dotm. Well, of course it is, and thats great for your new documents, but probably not a new template.(Dont forgot to change Normal.dotms font color back to Automatic.) In addition, dont forget all the other customizations youve made that arent even visible in a new document!

Its usually best to start a new template from scratch, as follows:

In short, it only seems like there are several ways to create a new template. To be safe, follow these guidelines:

The right way to create a Word template

WASHINGTON (AP) - At least in politics, "tax" is a four-letter word.

So when the Supreme Court ruled that the penalty for not obtaining health insurance is constitutional because it works like a tax, politicians began squirming over what to call that Thing in President Barack Obama's health care law.

The problem for Obama is that, if the Thing is indeed a tax, he is by definition a raiser of taxes on the middle class, which he promised not to be.

If that sounds like an opportunity for Republican presidential rival Mitt Romney, well, it's not that simple.

Obama's health care law is closely modeled on the universal-coverage plan Romney achieved as Massachusetts governor, which contains a penalty for noncompliance similar to the one in the federal law upheld by the court last week.

So if Obama is a raiser of taxes, so is Romney.

Contortions have ensued.

Romney adviser Eric Fehrnstrom strayed from Republican talking points when he told MSNBC that Romney agrees with Justice Antonin Scalia's minority opinion that "very clearly stated that the mandate was not a tax."

That position is at odds with congressional Republicans who are determined to portray the penalty as an Obama tax pure and simple.

NOTABLES:

And another group, Crossroads GPS, announced this weekend they would be unveiling specific ads targeting House and Senate candidates on the health care issue. Heres one calling on North Dakota Senate candidate Heidi Heitkamp to support repeal of the law. The ad is titled Tax, and was updated to reflects the courts ruling. WATCH: http://bit.ly/LUFyaE

THE NOTE:

Its a bird, its a plane! Its a tax, its a penalty!

Ever since last Thursdays Supreme Court decision that ruled the Obama administrations signature health care reform law constitutional, both Democrats and Republicans laced up their running shoes for a sprint to the dictionary.

The keyword: tax.

Republicans want to bake the idea that the health care law imposes a tax into the cake. While Democrats, on the other hand, are loathe to refer to it in those terms.

White House Chief of Staff Jack Lew insisted, repeatedly, in interviews this weekend that under the law refusal to buy insurance would amount to a penalty and Obama campaign aides echoed the White House line, calling it a a free loader penalty.
