Is Google Apps the Next Microsoft Office?
2008-02-28 06:03:00 If you’re still skeptical about Google Apps and software as a service (SaaS), spend a day at Long Island’s Hofstra University. Roughly 13,000 Hofstra students have access to Google Apps Education Edition to collaborate online, according to Robert W. Juckiewicz, Hofstra’s VP of IT. The university’s ongoing experience with Google and SaaS — and Hofstra’s future goals — provide some clear hints about how the corporate software market may evolve to increasingly include Google. Nobody is predicting the death of Microsoft Office , but it’s clear that Google Apps and Microsoft’s desktop productivity suite are on a long-term collision course. Nobody is suggesting that universities running Microsoft Office will pull the plug on that desktop suite anytime soon. After all, Office provides a far more comprehensive feature set than Google Apps. Plus, students don’t have to be connected to a network to access and use Office. Assum...
Microsoft Natural Ergonomic Desktop 7000
2008-02-18 01:35:00 Ergonomic keyboards seem to be all the rage these days. For us it is probably too late, our claw like fingers already gnarled and twisted by years of gruelling late nights in the test centre. However, for many of you there is probably still hope and Microsoft believes that hope may come in the form of its latest ergonomic keyboard and mouse combo, the Natural Desktop 7000. Sporting a curved keyboard split straight down the middle and a mouse that bears more than a passing resemblance to an egg, this package takes some getting used to, but if you find your fingers regularly feeling strained after a long day at the office then this may be the package for you. One of the most difficult things to adjust to is having half the keys on one side and half on the other. Many self taught typists won't always use the correct finger for each key, and as a result you may find yourself automatically tapping in no-man's-land between the two sections and wondering why you keep getting the word 'r...

Microsoft Office 2004 Updated to Version 11.4
2008-02-15 03:40:00 On Tuesday, software giant Microsoft released version 11.4 of its Office 2004 for Mac productivity suite. The new version, a 12.3 megabyte download, repairs a vulnerability in which an attacker could overwrite the contents of a computer's memory with malicious code. The update can be downloaded directly from Microsoft's web site as well as through the Microsoft AutoUpdate application, which is typically found in Mac OS X's Applications folder after the software has been installed. Microsoft Office 2004 requires Mac OS X 10.2.8 or later to run and varies in price depending on the version purchased.Source:powerpage.org More About: Version
Search and Recover Lost Microsoft Word Documents - Part 7
2008-02-11 04:09:00 Continuation of Part 6 The other type of products deals with your hard drive directly instead of scanning the file system, but such products are slow and expensive. I also found them extremely complex to use because they don't show the names of the deleted documents, let alone their content. These tools don't have access to the file system, and are unaware of the files' names, showing documents as "document_001.doc" at best, but more likely you'll see something like "~ocume1" instead of a proper name. to be continued...

Search and Recover Lost Microsoft Word Documents - Part 5
2008-02-04 00:02:00 Continuation of Part 4I quickly discovered that there are many data recovery offers on the market. Most products mention recovering deleted or corrupted files and documents, and some tools promise recovery of files even from crashed or damaged hard drives. There are basically two types of data recovery products. They are different in how they find the lost files, and what they do to recover them. Simpler products, such as those free undelete utilities that I tried in my quest, deal with the file system. They simply scan the file system looking for records of files that are marked "deleted", and clear the mark. This is a fast and easy way to recover lost files, and it works sometimes, especially if you deleted a file just a minute ago. to be continued. More About: Lost , Microsoft , Word , Search

2008-01-28 00:31:00 Continuation of Part 2 Here's what happened to my wife a couple of weeks ago. She was working on a chapter for her Ph.D. thesis, and sent it to a professor for review. Usually, she gets back a document with embedded comments by email. She saves an attachment from the email, overwriting the old one, and deletes it from her Hotmail account. But this time, things went the wrong way. She received her chapter by email and replaced the old document with the new one, only to find out that her supervisor got a copy of the old one! She opened the Recycle Bin and found out that the document was never deleted but instead, it was replaced, so it wasn't even in the Recycle Bin. She tried to find an email that she had sent earlier, but Hotmail does not store sent messages. She asked me to do something to recover the document, and I downloaded a couple of free undelete programs, only to find that there were several dozens of deleted documents with that same name. So, I failed to recov... More About: Lost , Microsoft , Word , Search

How to Use Power Points in Programs - Part 2
2008-01-17 16:17:00 Continuation of Part 1Most of the Power Points that I use go along with music. The only problem with this is that you need to make sure that your choir or anyone on the stage sees it before the program so that they are not moving around trying to see what is going on.Here are a few ideas that I have found very successful.1. Patriotic songs: use flag pictures or pictures of national monuments2. Flag history: use pictures of flags that have flown over the United States3.

Christmas: find pictures of lights they are awesome7. Veterans Day: show pictures of the armed services8. Physical Fitness Programs : show pictures of all the different ways to stay physically fit9.

Microsoft Word - The Fast and Smart way to Small Business

Whilst computer technology may require a significant investment when starting out; Overtime, if your systems are built correctly they will in fact save you very large sums of money, in particular in the area of staff wages. When I first started my business, One-on-One Personal Computer Training, I started out with a $3,000 Credit Card, which when you talk to any business adviser or business-coach is absolutely the worst thing you could do. One of the issues I have been most conscious of is the cost of having a large number of staff.

He has an uphill climb. Bhatia is behind Live Documents, a web-based competitor to Microsoft Word, which purports to offer enterprises an upgrade path beyond the $400/seat offer from Microsoft.

2007-11-15 00:50:00 Microsoft?s new plugin software will enable Microsoft Word users to save Open XML-based documents in a format that makes the content accessible to blind or visually impaired users. The plugin, which is a free download, will make it possible to save documents in the DAISY XML format, a standard for reading and publishing multimedia content that is easy to navigate. "It revolutionises information and consumption," said Julie Howells, director of accessibility at Fortune Cookie, a web accessibility provider. "Currently to get through a massive amount of linear audio is like reading the Yellow Pages from start to finish to find what you?re looking for." Howells said the key to making DAISY a success was to raise public awareness of the standard: "To use DAISY, you need a DAISY player. The next step to ensure that the largest number of people benefit from it is to get the DAISY-playing technology onto products available on the high street." Although the DAISY format was somet...

Do U Know Microsoft Access History ?
2007-11-12 00:49:00 Microsoft Office Access , previously known as Microsoft Access , is a relational database management system from Microsoft which combines the relational Microsoft Jet Database Engine with a graphical user interface and software development tools. It is a member of the 2007 Microsoft Office system. Access can use data stored in Access/Jet, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, or any ODBC-compliant data container. Skilled software developers and data architects use it to develop application software. Relatively unskilled programmers and non-programmer "power users" can use it to build simple applications. It supports some object-oriented techniques but falls short of being a fully object-oriented development tool. Access was also the name of a communications program from Microsoft, meant to compete with ProComm and other programs. This Access proved a failure and was dropped. Years later Microsoft reused the name for its database software. Access version 1.0 was released in November 1992.... More About: Microsoft , History
Easy to Use LCA for Product Designers, it runs on Microsoft Excel
2007-11-05 00:15:00 Mizuho Information & Research Institute Inc. developed "LCA-Passport," a software for carrying out life cycle assessments (LCA), for product designers of parts manufactures and others. It will be released in November 2007. The software is an "easy-to-use" tool that runs on Microsoft Excel . And it is specialized for minimum required functions that designing departments need. It is designed so that users can conduct an LCA in two hours. Until now, LCAs were conducted for certain products by environmental departments of end product manufacturers and some parts manufacturers. It is because various kinds of knowledge and know-how are needed to collect and assess the data of the entire life cycles of products and services. However, the data from an LCA will be required from more products in the future. And the departments that design products will have more need to conduct LCAs to collect design information, Mizuho Information & Research Institute forecast; therefore, it dev...

Know About the Errors in Microsoft Excel 2007
2007-10-29 02:37:00 On September 22, 2007 it was reported that Excel 2007 will show incorrect results in certain situations. Specifically, for some pairs of numbers with a product of 65,535 (such as 850 and 77.1), Excel will report their product as 100,000. This occurs with about 14.5% of such pairs.[11] In addition, if one is added to this result, Excel will give 100,001. However, if one is subtracted from the original product, the correct result of 65,534 is reported. (Also if it is multiplied or divided by 2, the correct answers 131,070 and 32,767.5 are reported, respectively.) Microsoft has reported on the Microsoft Excel Blog that the problem exists in the display of six specific floating point values between 65534.99999999995 and 65,535, and six values between 65535.99999999995 and 65,536 (not including the integers). Any calculation that results in one of these twelve values will be displayed incorrectly. The actual value stored and passed to other cells is correct, only the displayed value... More About: Errors

Bill Gates Launches Software Called ?Unified Communications?
2007-10-15 01:57:00 Bill Gates introduces a new line of software called ?unified communications. That means it is meant to integrate all the ways that people talk to each other: voice, video, instant messaging and more elaborate forms of online collaboration. If it is successful, this software will accelerate the shift of communications from specialized devices and networks onto Internet-based networks, desktop PCs and microprocessor-based servers. And that, in turn, could challenge the economics of the remarkably profitable telecommunications industry. There is a great deal of brave talk from existing players about being both a partner and competitor to Microsoft, but in fact they should be about as glad to see Microsoft as the minicomputer industry was to see the upstart three decades ago. In fact, Microsoft is opening a new front in its software strategy that mimics its Windows and Office approach to desktop and corporate computing.
