Need to improve your Microsoft Office experience? Here are our latest tips and tricks to help you along the way.
Office Word 2003 - Why zip a file?
Zipping a file creates a compressed version of the file that is considerably smaller than the original file. The zipped version of the file has a .zip file extension. For example, if you zip a Microsoft Office Word document that is 6.5 MB in size, the file created is reduced to 2.5 MB.
File types that are reduced the most as a result of zipping are text-oriented file types, such as .txt, .doc, .xls, and graphics files that use non-compressed file types such as .bmp. Some graphic files, such as .jpg and .gif files, already use compression; therefore, the file size is reduced very little by zipping and a Word document that is full of graphics files does not get reduced as much as a document that is mostly text.
To create a .zip file, right-click a file and then click the “Add to Zip file” command on the shortcut menu. Often the zip utility shortcut menu also includes a command such as Configure or Options to access the zip utility's option settings, and then to unzip a file, right-click the file and then click Extract on the shortcut menu.
Office PowerPoint 2007 - Add more levels of Undo
You can go back farther in Microsoft Office PowerPoint to undo actions!
With PowerPoint open, click the Office button, and then click PowerPoint Options. On the Advanced tab, change the maximum number of undos from the default 20 to any number from 3 to 150.
