Microsoft OneNote: Complementing Other Office Applications | OneNote Integration Options. While the most widely-used Microsoft Office applications are robustly useful for their respective target domains — e-mail and calendar management (Outlook), print-oriented documents (Word), presentation graphics (PowerPoint), and spreadsheets (Excel) — they have not been particularly useful for note-taking or hypertext information management and collaboration. In Office 2010, Microsoft has introduced a variety of OneNote integration options that make OneNote a powerful complement to the traditional Office applications, and likely provide, collectively, a leading indicator of future Office trends that will further blur boundaries between productivity application categories.
OneNote is a robustly useful application for hypertext information management and collaboration. OneNote is not intended to be a personal productivity panacea or some sort of uber-application. OneNote 2010 offers several types of integration with other Office applications. Handwritten Notes Integrated into Microsoft OneNote. The Metro hater's guide to Windows 8.1. [October 17, 2013: Instructions and screenshots updated for official release of Windows 8.1] In unveiling Windows 8.1 earlier this year, Microsoft executives said, “We’re listening to feedback.”
That’s a polite way of saying they were trying to avoid being splattered by a barrage of rotten tomatoes. Some of the most vocal complaints—sorry, feedback—came from longtime Windows users who wanted the good parts of Windows 8 without sacrificing the familiar Windows 7 desktop. Responding to that complaint was the impetus behind Microsoft’s decision to restore the Start button in Windows 8.1 to its traditional place at the left side of the taskbar.
The good news: Windows 8.1 has all the user-interface pieces you need to bring the desktop to the foreground and make the Start screen recede far, far into the background. The bad news: Windows 8.1 doesn’t have a magic “make Metro go away” button. Here’s what you need to do to make Windows 8.1 as desktop-friendly as possible. There, you’re done. Fiddler and Windows 8 Metro-style applications - Fiddler Web Debugger. Over on StackOverflow, a new Windows 8 user asked how to get Fiddler working with new Windows 8 Metro-style applications. These applications work somewhat differently than classic desktop applications, and require a bit of special configuration work to get Fiddler to work properly. Fear not, however, Windows 8 and Fiddler get along just fine after a few tweaks. Many of my colleagues have been using Fiddler to debug Metro-style applications over the last few months.
There are three important Windows 8 changes that impact Fiddler: The .NET CLR 2.0 isn’t installed by defaultMetro-style applications require a specific Capability to communicate with the localhost (where Fiddler runs)Metro-style applications do not respect the per-User Trusted Root Certificates store Each of these three issues can be worked around to restore the full functionality of Fiddler when running on Windows 8. DotNet Runtime Version Connecting to Fiddler requires an Application Capability or Loopback Exemption. Work Item Tagging In TFS. Inside TFS Work Item Tagging In TFS Work item tagging allows you to add searchable "keywords" to individual work items in TFS. With the release of Visual Studio 2012 and Visual Studio Team Foundation Server (TFS) 2012, Microsoft decided to adopt a new approach to delivering value to the products.
Rather than wait two to three years for a new version of the product, the company will instead provide "updates" to both products throughout their current lifecycle. These updates will provide not just bug fixes, but new features to support the latest software trends in the market. Visual Studio 2012 Update 1 has just been released and is available for download. Work item tagging allows you to add searchable "keywords" to individual work items. In addition to tags being filterable, they also act as "labels," allowing you to express metadata about a work item (such as whether a work item is high priority, or if multiple teams should be concerned about a work item).

Posted by Ben Bond on Wednesday, October 3rd 2012 Earlier this week, a friend posted on Facebook about the ease of inserting a line in a Microsoft Word and the difficulty of removing it. It seems to be a headache for many people, and I am unsure why Microsoft ships Word with the default autoformatting options to make that line. However, once it is inserted, it is easy to remove with a couple of clicks. If you never want that line to appear again, you can set Microsoft Word to not create the lines anymore. Remove Existing Line From A Word Document Microsoft Word creates those lines as borders.
Place the cursor in the line immediately above the line.On the Home tab, click on the Border formatting menu.Click on No Border. Alternatively, if you notice the line immediately after Word inserts it, you can click on the Smart Tag to see further options.

Six awesome built-in Windows utilities no one knows about. Windows 8 may not be the easiest operating system to use, but no one can accuse it of being stingy. If you poke deep inside the new OS, you'll find a generous assortment of software tools, many of which make third-party utilities redundant. One built-in tool helps you calibrate your PC’s display. Another helps you investigate system-stability problems. And yet another lets you record on-screen actions to create tutorials for Windows applications.
All of these utilities are free and come preloaded in Windows 8, with no hidden add-on costs. (You should be aware, though, that the Hyper-V virtual machine manager requires Windows 8 Pro or Enterprise, not the standard version of Windows 8.) Have we left out any worthy built-in utilities?

Hosts file configuration - Windows, Linux and Mac. The Hosts file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. This file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, then Windows checks the Hosts file before it queries any DNS servers, which enables it to override addresses in the DNS.
This prevents access to the listed sites by redirecting any connection attempts back to the local machine. Another feature of the HOSTS file is its ability to block other applications from connecting to the Internet, providing the entry exists. It’s a general practice of web developers to test any site locally by emulating the original web address pointing to a local or development server by modifying the hosts file. Advertisement Common Locations: The host file is located in different locations in different operating systems and even in different Windows versions: Windows NT/2000/XP/Vista: %SystemRoot%system32driversetc is the default location, which may be changed.
