Freeze part of MS Word document for better reference

by Smith | 9:40 PM in How To, Windows Tricks |

Some times we may want to refer a specific part of a large document several times. A computer monitor gives us only a finite space for working on various applications. Due to this reason we have to do a lot of vertical scrolling when dealing with a large document. . In the case of Excel we have a feature to freeze the rows and columns. Now this feature has been incorporated in Microsoft Word too.

Consider a case where we have a figure, a chart, a graph, or just some text which needed to be referred to while drafting the remaining document. Instead of scrolling to and fro through the document we can freeze the required part, while working on the remaining portion of the document.
The steps for this is
1) Click the View tab in Microsoft Word 2007 ribbon menu.
2) Now click on the Split Window icon after keeping the split bar just below the portion which is to be kept static. Split window feature allows viewing different portions of the same window at the same time.

3) The document will be split into two panes and you can work on one pane keeping the other one static for reference. For example in the figure given the top pane with the chart is static and the bottom pane is used as the work area.

4) You can click on each pane and can use the View commands for modifying the view or the layout. For example the top pane can be kept in the Print layout, while you can work on the bottom pane in the Web layout. You can treat the two panes like two separate windows. 5) Split window can be changed back by double clicking on the split bar or by clicking on the Remove Split icon.

LangOver - Saves Your Times During Typing (Chat, Search, Docs)

by Nick | 2:38 PM in How To, Internet Tricks, Windows Tricks |

A scientific research shows that a normally a person learns 3 languages in his life. I do not know it is true or not (because I know 6 languages, oh! this makes me abnormal?) but the matter is now it is necessary to learn many languages because the whole world has become a global village. Yea! Everybody will give different examples of proof of being Global Village but you should believe it that without computer and Internet, even the concept of global village is impossible.

The biggest medium of communication in this global village is Internet. A good chatter has always over 30 friends around the globe and if the chatter knows other persons language, it will be a big tie for friendship. OK! Here is the problem. You are chatting to two or more persons, who are from different countries, at the same time. You are typing in their languages. Now here you need LangOver.

LangOver will help you quickly to change between languages in which you are chatting. It decreases the time span between shifts of languages. You can manage as many languages as you want. Remember! The respective language should be installed in your computer. If the language, you need, is not installed, you cannot type in that language.

The other feature which I like most is the transfer of lowercase letters into uppercase letters and vice versa. Indeed, it is very useful feature. Many times its happened I typed in lowercase but needed the text in uppercase, so problem. LangOver, simply, solved this problem. Type lowercase or uppercase letters and later, with help of LangOver, change the case of letters.

One more feature, if I do not write about will be injustice with LangOver. You are typing a document for some purpose and suddenly you needed to search on Google, simply type the word and select it. After selection, press Ctrl+G and web browser will open with a Google search of your word. Same action can be done for a whole phrase.

LangOver is a very light weight and free tool. It does not eat a lot of system resources. As it is free, there is no problem in testing it. I hope you will enjoy it as I do, especially, when I write article for my blog.

Inserting Lorem Ipsum into MS Word in a single step

by Smith | 1:48 PM in How To, Windows Tricks |

If you’re working on MS Word and need to insert a sample piece of pseudo text to demonstrate something, there’s a quick way to do so. Just by typing in a command and pressing enter, you can fill up your document with sample, lorem ipsum paragraphs easily.
Here’s how:
• Open your document in MS Word

• Place your cursor where you want the Lorem Ipsum text to appear, type “=lorem()” without the quotes and press Enter

• You’ll now see sample, pseudo latin Lorem Ipsum paragraphs in your document, like this:

• If you want a specific number of paragraphs of lorem ipsum text and want each paragraph to contain a particular number of lines, you can use the attributes of the "=lorem()" command to do the job for you. For instance, if you want 5 paragraphs of lorem ipsum text generated with each paragraph containing 2 sentences, you should type "=lorem(5,2)"

That is how you generate Lorem Ipsum in Microsoft Word..

Note from Techfind

The above commands are known to work with Microsoft Word 2007. If you’re using an earlier version of Word, you can try the "=rand()" without quotes command

Convert HTML Docs into Text Docs for Better Readability

by Nick | 8:40 AM in How To, Internet Tricks, Windows Tricks |

For some reason, we have HTML document in our computer and we want to have the info in Text format from that HTML doc, we will copy from HTML doc and paste that info in a Text doc. OK, it is the successful case if we have just few HTML docs. What if we have many HTML docs, will we do same procedure with all docs? No! at least, I will not do it because it is very tiring job.

There is a very simple tool called HTMLAsText which can convert a single HTML doc to Text doc as well as bulk of HTML docs to text doc. Think you have saved some HTML pages during web surfing. Later, when you are disconnected from Internet, you want to read those pages, it may possible that those pages will not display info in an order if you are not connected to Internet. You need internet connection again. But if you have HTMLAsText, you do not need Internet to visit that web page again to look the info in ordered form. HTMLAsText will display the info in ordered form in Text doc instead of HTML doc.

In fact, this is a very important tool. You do not need to install it. When it run, it does not store, change or associate to any file in your computer. You simply double click on the HTMLAsText and its window will open. Now choose the source HTML doc and the destination Text doc. Play with some formatting options shown on the HTMLAsText window and get Text file which is more readable compared to HTML file.

Features :-

HTMLAsText automatically removes all tags and scripts from the document.

The remaining text is formatted according to the number of characters per line that you select.

All HTML entities (e.g.: &amp, &lt) are converted into the corresponding ASCII characters.

Unordered lists (tag) and ordered lists (tag) are formatted accordingly. The bullets beside the items of unordered lists are replaced by ASCII characters according to your selection.
Definition lists are formatted by adding spaces in the left side of the definition lines.
Optionally, centered and right-aligned paragraphs are formatted accordingly by adding space characters in the left side of the lines.
Optionally, HTMLAsText allows you to add a line under each heading (tags)
Simple tables can be delimited by spaces, tab characters, commas, or CRLF.
Preformatted text blocks (tag) are copied "as is", without formatting the text.
You can convert multiple HTML files in the same folder at once, by using wildcard. (e.g.: c:\files\*.html)
You can run the conversion process without displaying any user interface, by using the /run command-line option.

The home page of HTMLAsText and a complete guide to use it can be accessed HERE .
