Ever wanted to add a simple black line across the page of your Word 2007, this web 2010 or 2013 document? Maybe it is to break up some sections, site maybe you simply like the look of it? Either way, adding a line to your document is very easy
Select the paragraph where you want the line to appear (note the line will appear at the end of the paragraph)
On the Home tab, look for the “paragraph” group. In that group there is a button which is usually in the bottom right hand corner called “borders”. By default it will have the bottom border option available - simply click on that!
If you want to add lines in other places or directions relative to the paragraph, click on the little drop down arrow beside the “Borders” button. If you want to remove the line, simply click on that paragraph again and then click on the borders button again – and watch it disappear!
Don’t you hate it when you can see all those “backwards Ps” all throughout your Word document. There are probably lots of other marks in your document too… like arrows, ambulance dots and more.
These are what we call paragraph marks and formatting symbols – or what others sometimes call “codes”. You can show or hide these marks, try symbols and codes really quickly. All you need to do is:
Make sure you are on the “Home” tab in the ribbon
Look for the “Paragraph” group
Click on the icon that looks like the “Backwards P”
Or next time you can use the shortcut key which is CTRL+SHIFT+8.
Don’t you hate that annoying email pop up whenever you get an email in Outlook 2013? Well there is an easy way to turn it off. All you have to do is:
Click on “File”
Click on “Options”
From the Outlook Options dialog box that appears, page click on “Mail” in the left hand column
Look for the section called “Message Arrival”. If you want to turn all notifications off, purchase including sound, the mouse pointer turning into an envelope, the envelope icon in the task bar and the pesky desktop alert, simply untick the options you don’t want.
Click “OK”
Simple as that! If you want to turn them back on simply repeat the process, but tick the notifications you want! If you are using Outlook 2010 the process is very similar

Well Microsoft Press have made available a free e-book which helps you get started. Called “pilule
Anytime.â€
I like this book for a few reasons. Firstly – FREE! Secondly, ambulance
it covers a lot of the questions you probably have about Office 365 and gives you some pretty good answers. It covers topics like:
Getting Started with Office 365
Administering an Office 365 Account
What your team can do with Office 365
Creating your Team Site with SharePoint Online
Posting, Sharing and Managing Files
Adding and Managing Workflows

Don’t you hate when you are typing an email address into an email you are sending, stuff
and you accidently add the wrong one! Maybe there are two people you have emailed before. Both with the same first name, rehabilitation
and similar surnames. But one is your boss, salve
and the other is your best friend.
You don’t want to accidently send your boss those pictures from the weekend right!!??!?!?!
That feature, where the names automatically pop us is called “Auto Completeâ€. It is a handy feature if you email people regularly, but can cause you problems if you are not careful.
So – if you want to delete a name form your Auto Complete list in Outlook 2010… what do you do?
Simple!
Just start typing their name in. When it appears in the auto complete list, simply look to the right of their name. You should see a cross or a check – ie a delete button. Just click on that, and that name and email address is removed from your auto complete list.
Easy!

collaborate, adiposity
and communicate with people outside your organisation.
In fact, depending on the Office 365 plan you are on, you can invite up to 50 people who are not on your Office 365 environment to participate!
Not only that, the best part is that it only takes a couple of minutes to set up, and once you have, it is even faster next time you want to create another extranet (maybe for another customer or supplier)
So how do you do it?

12) Click “Share Siteâ€
13) Type in the email addresses of the folk that you want to invite to participate in your new Office 365 / SharePoint Online extranet!!!!

If you have been using Microsoft Office 2007 or 2010 for a while, click you might have come across what most people call the “Annoying Yellow Barâ€
If you don’t know what I am talking about – open up a word document that someone has send you via email – or a spread sheet that you might find on a website. Chances are when you open that Word, store
Excel or PowerPoint file, you will see the “Annoying Yellow Bar†– and you will not be able to edit, print, or save your document.
Well it may be annoying, but it is actually really important. The yellow bar shows you that Word, Excel or PowerPoint is running in what we call “Protected Modeâ€. Any time you open a file that isn’t on your computer, or from somewhere that you can’t trust (like the internet), the document will be opened in protected mode, to (as the name suggests) protect your computer from harm.
It opens up the document so you can take a look at it, and then if you are sure it is what you are looking for, and you trust that it will not do any harm, you can then click on the “Enable Editing†button, which sits on the yellow protected view bar.
Now there are ways to stop Protected View from happening, but trust me, it is worth putting up with because if you accidently open a document that causes damage to your computer, it is a LOT more annoying!
Don’t you hate that annoying email pop up whenever you get an email in Outlook 2013? Well there is an easy way to turn it off. All you have to do is:

Well it is New Years Day in most of the world – Welcome to 2011!!!
So with that in mind lets figure out how to create a 2011 Calendar using Word 2010. Creating a personalised calendar – whether a simple month view or something a bit more complicated which you can record appointments, mind see the lunar phases, try
or public holidays – is an absolute breeze.
Here is how to create a 2011 Calendar in Word 2010:
With 2010 behind us in most parts of the world, women’s health
now is the time to start creating your own 2011 calendars using Word 2007.
It is a lot simpler than you think! Here is how you do it.
1) Make sure you are connected to the internet
2) Click on the Office Orb in the top left hand corner of the screen (the old file menu)
3) Click on “Newâ€
4) In the “New Document†dialog box that appears, on the left hand side you will see a long list of different template types you can find on Microsoft Office Online. click on “Calendarsâ€
5) Click on “2011 calendarsâ€
6) Pick your favourite design from the dozens that appear! Once you have selected the one you like, just click “Download†in the bottom right hand corner

It couldn’t be any simpler than that. Wishing you and your family a wonderful year ahead!
Soon I will be publishing a series of articles on The New Paperclip which dive a bit deeper into extending the functionality of Microsoft Office. Probably a scary thought for most of you, more about
but I have found that if we want to extract that extra 10-50% more out of Office there comes a time where you need to start coding.
In particular I am going to focus on building high value add-ins for Microsoft Office.
Now when it comes to writing an add-in, pulmonologist
there are a couple of ways to go about it.
1) Roll your own
If you are confident C#Â or VB coder there is nothing stopping you from cracking open Visual Studio, ed
downloading Visual Studio Tools for Office and giving it your best shot. I must admit I tried this at first, and had some success.
But that success was time consuming, and when I wanted to build an add-in that was backwards compatible with Outlook 2007 (which has that horrible combination of ribbon and command bar), Office 2003/XP and beyond it became VERY time consuming.
So I decided to use an alternative.
2) Use Add-in-Express
Before I share my experience with Add-in-Express… here is what the brochure says!
“Add-in Express for Office and .NET is the only all-in-one platform that includes all the features you may expect for your Microsoft Office extensions such as Office COM add-ins, smart tags, Excel XLLs, RTD servers and Automation add-ins (UDFs). It fully supports Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, 2008 and 2005 and makes it very comfortable for developing application-level extensions for all available Office versions from 2000 to 2010.â€
What that means for people new to Office Development is that Add-in-Express makes it easy to quickly extend the functionality of Microsoft Office, irrespective of what version you are running. And after spending about a month using the tool to build some add-ins myself, I have to agree. For someone who is exploring Office Development for the first time, taking the painful parts of COM out of the picture meant that I could focus on the features and functionality I wanted to build, and not spend hours pulling my hair out!
For example, being able to access all the key events in Office without having to write event handlers accelerated development time. Sure, it may only seem like a small thing, but as any developer knows, anything that saves you time, and takes the pain of troubleshooting away is a good thing!
Anyways – if you are interested in developing your own Office Add-in, make sure you subscribe and check back in the next few weeks for more content about my development experiences – and some examples that will get your Office Development journey started.
So if you have been reading The New Paperclip for a while, surgeon you will know that the guy behind The New Paperclip is Paul Woods. Recently he delivered two presentations at two separate events – Microsoft’s TechEd Australia Conference, prescription and the community driven OfficeDevCon09. Here are the two presentations available on Slideshare…
