One element that is missing in Microsoft’s Office Word 2007 program is the ability to manage document revisions. The software program comes with revision tracking features but those do not help that much once the document has been saved and closed in Word 2007. Enter AutoHistory; A Microsoft Office Word 2007 add-in that adds document revisions to Microsoft Word.

It does so by automatically creating a copy of the document whenever it is saved either by the user or by the software. The functionality becomes available immediately after installation of the Word add-in. Checking the Show / Hide History box will display a sidebar menu with all document revisions of the active document. A double-click on any of the documents will load it in a new Microsoft Word window.

A click on the Settings button opens the configuration menu where the maximum number of document revisions and the language can be configured. The default number of document revisions is unlimited but can be changed if size is of importance to the user.

AutoHistory (via Killertechtips) requires the installation of Microsoft Visual Studio Tools for the Microsoft Office system before it can be used and installed.

The Word add-in could come in handy for users who regularly work with Microsoft Word documents.

When working on Word 2007 documents for the office wouldn’t it be nice to edit them while in Print Preview instead of going back into the document? Today we look at how to accomplish editing documents while in Print Preview.

Print Preview is used to see how the document will look like when it is printed to paper. You can get into Print Preview mode by clicking the Print Preview icon on the Quick Access Toolbar or clicking on the Office Start Menu \ Print \ Print Preview.

Now while in Print Preview un-check Magnifier located in the Preview tab on the Ribbon.

Now you can go in and make any adjustments to the document while still in Print Preview.

A handy Keyboard Ninja trick to toggle between the Word document and Print Preview is CTRL+Alt+I (the letter “i”not the vertical key also known as Pipe). Hopefully this tip will come in handy to help speed up your document creation.

Microsoft’s decision to change the default file format in Office 2007 for some of its most popular Office programs has caused some confusion and controversy, especially shortly after introduction. Back then no one was able to open the docx, xlsx or pptx file formats if they would not have Microsoft Office installed. This changed quickly as Microsoft released the Office 2007 compatibility suite for previous installments of Microsoft Office. Users without Microsoft Office were able to work with the new formats in Open Office or use online converters to convert them to traditional Office documents.

The Google Docs team on the other hand was reserved and did not add support for these file formats until now. Today, they announced that they finally added support for both the docx (that is for Microsoft Word 2007 documents) and xlsx (Microsoft Excel 2007 spreadsheets) format in Google Docs.

Support in this case means that users can upload files with the docx and xlsx extension to Google Docs. The size limitations are 500 Kilobytes for docx documents and 1 Megabyte for xlsx spreadsheets.

The document can then be edited in Google Docs just like any other document. There is however no option to save documents to a local computer system in the docx or xlsx format yet. Google Docs will automatically convert the documents to doc or xls format.

One of the worst experiences for dealing with documents is its corrupt file and unrecoverable result. Combining damaged docx2txt and corrupt xlsx2csv, let’s repair corrupt Word and Excel files immediately and perfectly. They radically change the Microsoft experience, maximize file management and save much time.

Damaged docx2txt
This is a GUI version. As the name demonstrated, it will extract text from damaged/corrupted Word 2007 files where Word 2007 fails. It open those destroyed files with .txt format. Select open in the menu, open the corrupt one, the content corrupted is open on the .txt file. If you want to save it, it’s also very easy. Click the save in file menu, you can also rename it and save in your destination place. Isn’t sound so easy? See the brilliant management as below. Download Damaged docx2txt>>

Corrupt xlsx2csv
Similarly, this corrupt xlsx2csv owns the same functions with the above corrupt Word processor. This one is specially used in the Excel spreadsheet field. The command line unzipping program is used when dealing with corrupt Excel spreadsheets. In fact, the operation is quite same with the damaged docx2txt. Differently, the final file is saved as .csv format.

What’s more needs pay attention to is, both the programs need .NET Framework 2.0 or higher, and they are only supportive on Microsoft Word 2007 and Excel 2007 files.

Many users who want to extract non-textual data from a pdf document help themselves by creating a screenshot of that data to embed it into their documents. While most pdf readers are nowadays capable of copying text from pdf documents they usually do lack the ability to copy more complex data like tables or drawings from these documents.

Enter PDF to Excel and PDF to Word, two online services created by the same developer that convert pdf documents in microsoft word or microsoft excel documents. Both products are available online and simple to use. Three steps are required to convert the pdf document. The user needs to select a pdf document from the local computer system, pick a output format and enter an email address where the converted pdf document should be send to.

The conversion comes close to the original. Some parts might need some fine tuning but the overall look and feel of the pdf document has been carried over and probably more important than that the data in the tables looks exactly like that in the pdf document.

PDF to Excel and PDF to Word are two helpful online services for users who have to convert pdf documents into Word or Excel format.
