Office Automation

 

There are some tips helping you increasing productivity . Do you remember the first shortcuts you learn for Win or for MsWord ? . The following utilities can be applied to multiple applications.

 

1) Dialog Answer 1.1 - here (24KB)

This freeware worth a lot. If you are tired pushing always the same buttons on many applications this is for you !. Take a small example . I made a shortcut that press Alt-I, N, M buttons on my Psp5.0 windows (i.e. Image, Noise, Median Cut command) :
C:\UTLTS\DAnswer\DAnswer.exe /w:Paint Shop Pro /K:%inm /a:3 /c:1 /i:100
There are other shortcuts scanning a page and transferring data to other progs !.

2) Joystick Control Center here (307KB)

Use your joystick creatively. You can make shortcuts using joystick buttons . So I can do the previous job just pushing button A !. I made shortcuts to activate my Scanner on Photoshop , or automatically load some programs in Windows ... Great !. Even if you do not have a joystick I strongly recommend to buy a cheap 4-button one , not to play games but to use with this fantastic utility .

Tip: If your joystick does not have any problem playing games, but JCC reports something like "there is not joystick driver" or such don't panic. You have to set you joystick to the Joystick ID No.1 . To check this go to Start -> Settings -> Control Panel -> Game Controllers .
Check if there is a joystick there and if the Status says "OK" .
Then go to -> Advanced . Check if your Game Controller is on ID no.1 . If not you must change it to no. 1 .

3) RtvReco 5.1b - http://www.rtvsoft.demon.co.uk  or here (94KB)

There are many utilities like this, but this was the first . It pushes a button when a windows appears (Freeware) .

4) Sensiva - http://www.sensiva.com

Make a simple draw pushing mouse right-click , and Sensiva will run certain commands or hit some keys (Freeware) .

5) Cal.exe - here (39KB)

Ms-Dos Calculator - Adding Machine (Freeware) . I have this prog for about 5-6 years and I was searching the net for months in order to find something equal or better for Win9x (Zdnet, WinFiles, Simtel etc) but I didn't !. Try it , it's small & free.

6) Excel Adding Machine - here (2 KB!)

Adding Machine spreadsheet (.xls) . Some ideas are so brilliant because they are so simple . Excel moves down the cursor after entering a number. So I did not had so much pain for making my own A/M . Column enumeration helps finding fast how many data you entered . You can also use the Scroll/Lock button . I still do not believe that I couldn't find any better a/m !.

 

** Gold Tip ** - How to NOT get confused with Duplex printouts .

Many times I want to print in both sides using printers for first time or after a long time . The tip is easy: All you have to do is to "trace" the paper:

1) BEFORE make any printout, take a blank paper and write using a pencil in the upper left corner "1" . The flip vertically (mirror) the paper , and write in the same position "2" .

2) Now put the paper in the tray in a position you can see the "1" properly . 
3) After printing the first (even) page, put the paper in the tray in a position you can see the "2" properly . 
4) Try to remember what manoeuvrer you made in step #3 , repeat the tip if you don't .

 

 

Small Hardware Tips:

- Buy a wheel mouse with 3 or 4 buttons (like Logitech Pilot Mouse). You will accelerate your job from the first hour !. Even if you don't buy anything, use Logitech (MouseWare) drivers . They are the best !.
