A while back I bought a new 'power' pc and when I installed all my apps, adjusted the settings to my needs I decided to play around with some apps to remotely use my netbooks as a network camera. It was all working nicely on this pc but I installed some free apps on my netbooks that really messed up the XP operating system. After I uninstalled the apps the real problems occurred. I could turn them off, he was slow and even my internet connection was terribly slow. So I decided to bring back life to my netbook by either reinstalling the OS or by finding some good apps for it. Well I found some Microsoft Gold Certified apps (wise lesson here, don't trust all the crappy apps out there, if you are making changes to your Windows OS, go with Microsoft Gold Certified apps). The apps are from Uniblue. I just bought a second pack for this pc and I want to show you the capabilities and the installation progress. BTW, you don't have to buy them to see the power of the tools, you can do a free test here.

Recently I read somewhere that Adobe estimates that there are currently 300 million PDF’s in circulation which of course already an amazing number and the use of PDF’s is still growing exponential. If I look at my own business; not using PDF’s is simply not an option. Whether they are contracts, invoices or any other documents, everything is send as a PDF via email. I can’t even remember the last time that I used our fax.

I recently started using a nifty little application called AnyBizSoft PDF Converter. AnyBizSoft PDF Converter is a very easy to use small conversion tool for converting your PDF’s to Word, Powerpoint, HTML and Text Files. AnyBizSoft PDF Converter has 2 conversion modes which are batch (up to 200 PDF’s) and partial conversions.

Microsoft Word 2007 is capable of working with documents in three file formats. The native format uses the file extension ".docx". Files saved in this format can use the full range of features found in Word 2007, with the exception of macros. Any Word 2007 document which contains macros must be saved in a separate file format using the file extension ".docm".

In addition to these two native formats, Word 2007 is also capable of both opening and creating documents using the ".doc" file extension, the file extension found in previous versions of Word. Word 2007 files saved with this file extension will not have access to the full range of features found with in Word 2007. Features which have been introduced in 2007, such as Themes, will not be available in documents saved with the file extension ".doc".
