• Open any folder. Press ‘Alt’ button to get the menu bar on top.
• In that go to “Folder Options”, under “Tools” .
• Under the “View” tab, check the option “Reopen previously opened folders”.
• Click “Apply” and “OK”.

That’s it. The next time you switch on your computer, these folders will automatically open for you. In my opinion, this feature can be a little annoying. AFAIK, I don’t see much of a need to keep folders always open. However I do think that it can be handy when there are frequent power cuts.

When I searched for the solution online, I found many answers like, saving a excel spreadsheet as a webpage and then, converting that webpage into an image. Or, I found some cumbersome visual basic code (I think so, am not sure)on Microsoft Forums. But, here is a simple solution that I found out to this problem.

You can convert, not only excel tables, but also Smart Arts, Charts and Word Arts into images, using this trick. Let me get to the process now.

If you have a table, already created in Excel,

• Copy that table.
• Open a new PowerPoint presentation.
• Paste the table into an empty slide.
• Right-click on the table, and select the option “Save as Picture”.

That’s it, you are done! Your table is now saved as a PNG image file!

We are actually using a simple feature, that’s already present in MS Office. However, the feature is limited only to MS PowerPoint, not MS Excel or MS Word. I wonder why.

P.S. The same procedure can be followed for converting Smart Arts, Charts and Word Arts into images.

Simple, isn’t it? Please leave your comments and share if you have any other way of doing this.

As I am using Excel 2007, I will be writing instructions based on that, but it will be mostly similar for other versions too.

• Go to the “Page Layout” tab on the ribbon.
• In that, go to the “Sheet options” tab and there check the “Print” option under the “Gridlines” category.
• Here is a simple video tutorial on how to do the same.

Some other tips while printing an excel sheet

You can display comments in your hard copy, and also edit how errors, if any, gets displayed. To do this,

• Go to Page Layout>Sheet Options. Click on the “Sheet Options” block.
• A new window will open named Page Setup. In that, under the “Print” section, there is an option called “Comments”.You can select your preference in the dropdown box.
• Also, below the “Comments” option, there is another option called “Errors”. In the dropdown box, you have options like “Blank”, “As Displayed” and so on. You can change it according to your wish.

Tip: It’s always better to show Errors in an excel worksheet as “Blank”, so that you can manually calculate it later and write.

Check out this video tutorial on the same things that I have discussed before.

Today, I found a very nice video on Youtube that will explain you how Windows 8 would look. I would like to remind you that this is just a concept and is in no way related to the real Windows 8 that would be released.

Yes, this is true! You can now access your Google Docs saved online through Microsoft Office. An MS Office add-on called Offisync helps you do this. With this add-on installed into your office, you can import your Google Docs saved online, edit whatever you want and again save it online. That sounds cool!

How is this add-on helpful?

This add-on is helpful in many ways,

1) You may want to share some great piece of information online through Google Docs. However, as Google Docs is still a novice, not many options are available. With this add-on, you can edit the doc in Microsoft Office and again upload it to Google Docs.

2) This add-on is a bridge between MS Office and Google Docs. It merges your online workspace with your offline workspace. As I will explain in the latter part of the post, you can directly search for any piece of information you want from Microsoft Word.

Features it has:

It has a deck of features. Let me go through them one by one.

Importing Google Docs To MS word

Offiync helps you to import Google Docs to your Office workspace. Type in your Username and Password and you are connected. It is just like browsing through your computer for documents.

Now, enough snooping on my email ID!:P. Let us move onto more unique and interesting features.

Research On Your Topic Immediately

This is another interesting and very useful feature in this add-on. Let us take an example to explain this. Let us suppose, you are writing an article on Yamaha bikes. You want some info from Wikipedia. It sure is tedious to open a browser and search. With this add-on, you can search through the web for information directly from your word window! Take a look at this.

You can also insert image clips using this search feature. Just crop a piece of webpage and insert it onto the document.

Searching For Images

There is also a Google Image Search Option integrated with this add-on. Just like you searched for information, you can search for images and insert them into your documents. You can also choose the color size and usage options just like in Google Image Search.

Other Options In This Add-on

It has many other options like setting up different accounts and setting sharing permissions. It also has a feature to work through proxy.

A Quick Roundup

Therefore, this simple add-on required so much of explanation. It is certainly a must try option, especially if you are an Office and Docs user.

Go ahead and download it here. It is a really small add-on with great features. [Download file around: 576 KB] [Fat 32 installation: 5.76MB]

How to overcome this problem??

Here is the solution. If you are using a font that oyu had downloaded from the onternet or from any other source or using a font which is there only in the latest version of Office than you would need to save the font also with the file. This can be done very easily in the Office 2007. Here is a brief explanation of what to do:

1) After you complete your work with the file before saving it, click on the office button>>Powerpoint options. (At the bottom)

2) In the opened window go to “Save” options.

3) There check the box “Embed Fonts in the File.”

There will be two sub options  of whether you want the complete character set or just the characters you used in the file.

4) Select the desired option and proceed to “Save”. Your work is done. Now, you open on any computer and your font will remain as it is.
