Try This: No need to memorize Short Cut Keys for Microsoft Office tools

Here after, we don’t need to memorize lot of shortcut keys to work on Microsoft office tools.

If you want to perform a specific operation using keyboard while working with any one of the Microsoft office software like Outlook, PowerPoint, Excel, Word Etc. then just press Alt key for 2 seconds. Then all the icons in the screen will be highlighted with specific numbers.

+ILLUSTARION: (Example)

For example if I want to Insert an picture through keyboard shortcut in Microsoft outlook, then following are the steps I need to perform.

• Press Alt key and release it.
• Now you can see N symbol is highlighted near Insert. So, I press N.
• Now you  can see P symbol is highlighted near the Picture . SO I press P.
• Then as usual I select the picture from the computer to insert In the message area.

This technique works in all latest versions of Microsoft office. Check whether it is working in your package and utilize it effectively.

We can work little leisurely using this simple technique as there is no need to store and recollect shortcuts in our mind for some familiar  operations we do perform usually.

But still, for operations like Copy (Ctrl C),Paste(Ctrl V), Bold & Italic (Ctrl B,Ctrl I), Uppercase and Lower case conversion (Shift+F3) shortcuts are best.

To Compress or Zip a file using winzip, winrar sofware

Do you need to reduce the size of a file or a set of files and to send it through email or share it in internet or carry it in your pend drive.

There is a solution. There are many software available to compress the files and reduce its size.

Familiar zipping sofwares are winzip,winrar,7zip,ultimatezip.
Now let me explain how to compress a file.

1. Download any one of the software that I have mentioned above.
2. Install it in your computer.
3. Now right click on the file which you need to compress and select send to  compressed folder.
4. Now a compressed folder with the name you have specified will be created in your computer.
5. Check the size of the file before and after zipping. Surely there will be notable difference in the file size.

Here I wish to insist some points on compressed files.

The compression of the file is depending on the file type you are compressing. If you are compressing an avi file , the the compression will be more and reduce in file size also more.

But if you try to compress some files like xls and doc , the compression might not be that much effective.

If you want to send an exe file through gmail or yahoo, they wont allow you to send .Because most of the harmful viruses are being spread through exe files.But if you are sure that the exe file is a good one, then you can compress it and send it through gmail and yahoo mail.

One more advantage of zipping is, you can save a lot of data usage and uploading/downloading time when the file is zipped.

If you need a free zipping software, then go for winzip or winrar. I think 7zip is also a freeware. But former is widely used.

Get videos from Online websites in PC and Laptop

YouTube has started to provide offline View for some of YouTube videos in to your local drive

Obviously you can save lot of data usage if you follow this kind of practices. But currently the option is not implemented , so we have to grab using other external apps.

The classical way of downloading the videos on internet is to take it from the cache file of the browser folder. But as I told it is classical , let skip this way. Don't worry, an easiest way is there.

The alternate way is to use download managers like Internet download manger(idm) or orbit down-loader to download the videos. In my experience , idm .internet download manager is the best tool to download youtube videos.

Follow the steps to download the videos from youtube. Not only from youtube , any videos playing in internet.

2.Install the software in your PC or laptop.
   While installing, tick mark the option - Integrate chrome,ie,firefox to idm

PixClip - Free Screen capture tool

Pressing print screen button and then copying it in paint and cropping unwanted portion and saving as a picture file and again inserting in an excel sheet or PowerPoint slide is a lengthy process and  you need not follow this inefficient way to grab a picture no longer

Many screen capture tools are available now in internet .Some of them are free and many of them are for a cost.Today the review is about a most popular and simple screen capture tool called Pixclip.

The download file of this Pixclip application is very very small as in 48 KB size. You do not need to install  and once you open this file it will remain in your tray and you can set to start this application while you start the computer as optional.

One more effective option that is available in the software is you can set up a shortcut key for starting the application and no need to search for the launch icon every time.

Still you need an effective way to make the screen capture faster. Yes you can. You can set another option to capture the previous selected region and no need to drag for the same region again and again. Just press the assigned shortcut key and you are done with the task and paste it where you want.

I explain briefly to how to use the software effectively by some simple techniques.

1.How to make the software to run on startup

2.How to assign shortcut key for start capture

Drawback:
Some screen capturing tools like FS capture has an option called capture window that will be useful most of the times. This option is not available in Pixclip. I hope the developers will try to implement this feature if they see this review by chance.

One more drawback is if you use this application for a longtime without quitting it , the clipboard memory will become fully occupied and you cant proceed copying further.The solution is you need to erase clipboard memory or restart the computer.

Beyond these minor drawbacks the freeware is an wonderful application tool to use. Make a try and post your comments if you find any issues on the application.
