Tuesday, July 8th, 2008 |

If you have still not leaped on to Linux and Mac then there’s a possibility that you are pissed off with the the Outlook Express whenever you want to send a message to mail client. Outlook made better sense in older days when you had to have some email client to send mails.

The users now like to send mails through gmail or some other email service. You can of course edit in registry so that Outlook doesn’t pop up every time you send mails but help is at hand if you are not geeky or brave enough to mess with registry. (more…)

Use Gmail to Reduce Word HTML File Size

Sunday, May 25th, 2008 |

Most simple and quickest way that I often use to convert a Word document into HTML is by sending it to a Gmail account as an attachment. With this method, you can maintain your file format as .doc.

• Simply use any of your email programs.
• Attach your Word document (the .doc file format) to the outgoing email.
• Send the email to any of your Gmail account.
• Open the Gmail email with the attachment.
• Now click the link at the bottom that says “View as HTML”. The document will open in your browser.
• You can now right-click in your web browser and select “View Page Source” or “View Source”
• Copy and paste the contents into a HTML editor or Notepad. Don’t paste it back into the Ms Word.
• Scroll toward the top of your file and look for the code Google adds to download your file. You should remove this link.

  <div style=”background:#ffffcc;padding:4 8;border-bottom:thin solid #eeeeee;font-family:Arial,sans-serif”><a href=”/mail/?attid=0.1&disp=attd&view=att&th=1192fa6dbxxxxxxx”>Download the original attachment</a></div></div><div style=”margin:1ex”>

• If you require you can make any changes in your code editor.
• Save your file with the .htm or .html extension.

Simple and the Job is done… works great for some quick landing pages.
