There was a time when “going to church” did not need an explanation. People understood what you meant and what you would do when you got there. Today, that is not the case because there is a struggle with the very definition of the word “church”. This is an important debate because the church is God’s entity that manifests His glory and wisdom (Ephesians 3:10, Ephesians 3:21). Our desire should, nonetheless, be the same as ...

The Google Operating System blog points out that both Google web search and Gmail can now read and convert Office 2007 documents, i.e. .DOCX files. That makes for easy mail-yourself conversion if you need it, or bulk-converting files to HTML, just like with PDF files. There are, of course, online tools like Zamzar for those without Gmail.

Filed under: Security, Text, Utilities, WindowsEvery Word file can contain a fairly large amount of metadata. This is stuff like the revision logs (for tracking changes), name of the author, last time edited, and last time printed. All that information is there for a reason, but embarrassing incidents have been known to occur when people don't realize what they're sending in their metadata. If you want to avoid that, you could delete it all by ...

Interesting utility. Working in the legal industry where we take our Metadata scrubbing very seriously, I am not sure that this would work for us, but I think it is cool that the product exists for free for others to use.

Scary. If folks leave in an exodus to Microsoft anyway, there will be even less reason to partner with Yahoo.

It's the most expensive movie ever made in Australia, and is the Great White hope for its tourism industry. Well, it finally premiered last night in Sydney and sooo how is it? According ...

Microsoft even recommends to distribute documents in paper form only on their website. Doc Scrubber is a Microsoft Word metadata scrubber which can be used to analyze and scrub Word documents. The software program ...

Spotting communities within networks is a big deal. Not least for search engines that rely heavily for their results on the communities that form when websites point to each other. If a lot of websites point to another site then that proves it is of value. At least that’s what everyone has assumed. But links can be negative as well as positive. If lots of websites point to another site specifically to say how bad ...

فیلمی بسیار سنگین با مفاهیمی بیگانه، ساختاری نمادین و روایتی به شدت در هم و پیچیده، روایتی که ترکیبی از یک داستان به ظاهر خطیِ به هم ریخته و یک سری سکانس های ظاهراً بی ربط است. هنر تارکوفسکی در این فیلم در ساختن تصاویری بدیع است با نورپردازی استثنایی و البته لوکیشن هایی که شاید کمتر بتوان در کار کارگردان های دیگر آن را یافت. برای نمونه یک سکانس در ابتدای فیلم است. جایی ...

No Interactive Whiteboard or Internet access, what could she do?I was in a class yesterday where the teacher was really keen to use her laptop and the school projector in her classroom teaching. I showed her how to set it up and we decided where was the best place to put it. Of course the projector is not suspended from the ceiling...it has to sit on a table, but we could work with that.

As times get tough, people get laid off and budgets get squeezed, the facility to try stuff in organisations gets increasingly difficult. The need for watertight, up-front business cases before you can even try anything is probably the most cited reason for failure to kick-start social media tools on intranets. In common with every other commentator on social media, I’ve given my views (here and here for starters!) on the whole subject of the ROI ...

It’s about time for another quick tip, and this one relates to the premier open source office suite, OpenOffice.org. Using the built-in heading styles in your Writer document means that OOo can handle the styling automatically for you and also you can generate tables of contents and more with the built-in tools. Note that this tip assumes that all your headings are set up in this way. In some documents, you might want or need ...Shared by Andrew Min (79) Antonio (312)Contribute commentExpressen: Nyheter (60) permalink
