Mail Merge Toolkit to attach file

 

Mail Merge Toolkit is a powerful add-in for Microsoft® Office® helping to extend the mail merging capabilities in Microsoft® Outlook®, Microsoft® Word® and Microsoft® Publisher®. It allows you to do the following:

  • Insert data fields into the message subject, so that not only the contents of a message but also its subject is personalized.
  • Attach a single file or numerous ones to messages.
  • To send HTML or RTF messages from Microsoft Word and Microsoft Outlook so that the security system doesn't reject messages and Internet links remain working (some problems with Internet links are already fixed by Office XP Service Pack 2, but not all). In particular, Mail Merge in Microsoft Word provides a higher level of correspondence safety. Mail Merge Toolkit is compatible with all recent versions of the Microsoft Word. So, mail merging in Word 2003, Word 2007 or Word 2010 isn’t a problem any longer!
  • Send messages to multiple recipients in HTML, RTF and GIF formats directly from Microsoft Publisher.
  • When sending GIF messages from Microsoft Publisher, HTML-links can be assigned to image areas (image map technology). By using messages in GIF, you can be sure that your recipient will be able to read it within any email client.

 

The Mail Merge Toolkit dialogue looks very similar to the standard Microsoft Office box "Merge to Electronic Mail" (see screenshot). In that box, like in the standard one, you can choose the data field containing recipient addresses, set message subject (btw, in Mail Merge Toolkit you can use automatic data field insertion like in a document text), set the format, and choose files to be attached to each message if necessary.

With Mail Merge Toolkit you can use all the features of Microsoft Office for professional mass mailing! Enjoy the easiest and at the same time most effective work with Mail Merge in Word! Being one of the basic text editors nowadays, Microsoft Word is applied by the most of PC users. So, Mail Merge in Microsoft Word is of the paramount importance for every Microsoft Office user!

How to install the WinXP HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7?

How to install the WinXP HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7 (Free)

 

 

HyperTerminal is a Windows XP application that helps you to connect your computer to other  remote computers. This application is also used by NetAdmins to connect their laptops to switches to perform regular maintenance operations. But Windows Vista or Windows 7 do not include this application by default. All the alternatives available are either paid and the free ones are not up to the mark. In this article we will tell you how to install the Windows XP’s HyperTerminal client on Windows Vista or Windows 7.

 

First of all you need to get access to a Windows XP machine and copy two files hypertrm.dll andhypertrm.exe from that system to your target Windows Vista or Windows 7 machine. Alternatively, you can download the files in a zip-package from here. Once you have the zip file, you need to extract the two files from that package to your target system (Windows Vista or Windows 7). CHeck this screenshot below.

 

 

Make sure you keep the files hypertrm.dll and hypertrm.exe in the same folder. Now you can launch the HyperTerminal client by double clicking the hypertrm.exe file. And there you have a fully working HyperTerminal client. This HyperTerminal client functions normally on your Windows Vista or a Windows 7 system as it would on any other Windows XP system. The best part about this method is that the HyperTerminal client you get this way is both free and it works.

Outlook Keyboard Shortcuts

Outlook.jpg

You can accomplish that using two of the easiest to remember keyboard shortcuts, ones we should all be using: Ctrl+N for new item, Del to delete (or Ctrl+D).

The following is a (very) short list of some of the most popular, useful, and easy to remember keyboard shortcuts – ones we should be using more often. There are a lot more keyboard shortcuts but this is a good starting point.

Ctrl+N will get you a new item form in any folder. If you’re in a mail folder, it will be a new message form, in the calendar, a new appointment form.  Use Ctrl+Shift+M for new Mail when looking in any folder, Ctrl+Shift+A for new Appointment, Ctrl+Shift+C for new Contact, Ctrl+Shift+N for Note, or Ctrl+Shift+J for Journal. If you have texting configured in Outlook 2010, Ctrl+Shift+T is a new text message. Notice the pattern? Tasks and Meetings break the pattern as you’ll use Ctrl+Shift+K for a new task and Ctrl+Shift+Q for a new meeting. Oh well, the most used items – mail, appointment, and contact are easily remembered.

To save, press Ctrl+S. Use Alt+S to send an email, meeting or task request. Note that Alt+S will save contacts, appointments, and tasks.

Want to delete the selected message? Use the Delete key. Ctrl+D will also work. Both are much faster than switching to the Home tab to click the Delete button. (I did that last week on my tablet. My excuse – no keyboard. I added the delete command to the QAT to speed it up.)

Reply? Ctrl+R, or Ctrl+Shift+R to reply all. Forward is Ctrl+F.  More patterns. :)
Copy cut, paste and select all work in most Windows programs (Ctrl+C, X, V and A). Oh, and Ctrl+P for print.

Want to initiate a send and receive? Use F9.

Alt+F4 will close the current window (this is a windows shortcut and works in most programs).

Alt+F1 toggles the navigation pane off, on, and minimized. Alt+F2 does the same for the To-Do bar.

Use Tab and Shift+Tab to roll forward and backward between the panels – navigation pane or folder list, to message list, to reading pane. (This is one place where a mouse can win the speed race.)

Ctrl+1 jumps to the mail module, while calendar is ctrl+2, contacts are 3. Ctrl+6 is the folder list. Ctrl+4, 5, 7, and 8 (9 if you use BCM) cover the rest of the navigation pane modules.

If you are looking at your day, week or monthly calendar, Alt+ 0 thru 9 (or, 1 through 0) displays the next 1 to 10 days.

Tech News - Microsoft mocks Google's Web video decision

Microsoft mocks Google's Web video decision

 

A Microsoft evangelist has mocked Google's decision to remove H.264 video support from Chrome, implying that Google is trying to impose an edict on an industry that's already made up its mind to the contrary.

In a blog post, Tim Sneath, who runs Windows and Web evangelism for Microsoft, likens Google's WebM video codec to the utopian but unsuccessful Esperanto language. The blog post rewrites Google's original announcement that the company is removing support for the widely used H.264 codec to advance its own WebM.

Both technologies can be used with the nascent HTML5 standard to embed video directly into Web pages without using a plug-in such as Adobe Systems' Flash Player. But Microsoft's Internet Explorer 9 beta and Apple's Safari support H.264, while Opera and Mozilla's Firefox support WebM and the earlier, largely unsuccessful Ogg Theora technology for encoding and decoding video. Sneath wrote:

The Esperanto language was invented last century as a politically neutral language that would foster peace and international understanding...We are supporting the Esperanto and Klingon languages, and will consider adding support for other high-quality constructed languages in the future. Though English plays an important role in speech today, as our goal is to enable open innovation, its further use as a form of communication in this country will be prohibited and our resources directed towards languages that are untainted by real-world usage.

Sneath hyperlinks "Esperanto" references to the WebM Project, "Klingon" to Theora, and "English" to the Wikipedia entry for H.264. (He doesn't attempt to draw any parallels between the difficulties of learning English and the expense of licensing H.264 patents.)

The post is titled "An Open Letter from the President of the United States of Google." And in a tweet, Sneath referred to Google's decision as "despotism."

Clearly, the post is snarky and jocular. But it still can be included as an example of the backlash against Google's H.264 move.

Microsoft is among the patent holders that receives payments when the MPEG LA licenses the H.264 pool of patents, but Microsoft said it pays more to the licensing group for including H.264 support in Windows 7 than it receives in royalty payments from the group.

Outlook 2010 gives error while booking resource or sending invite

Direct Booking does not successfully book a resource in Outlook 2010

 

Error like: Direct Booking does not successfully book a resource in Outlook 2010

 

To resolve this problem, use one of the following methods to configure registry data to enable Outlook direct booking:

  • Modify the registry manually
  • Configure the registry by using Group Policy
  • Deploy the registry data by using the Office Customization Tool

 

Method 1: Manual modification of the registry

Important This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems might occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you follow these steps carefully. For added protection, back up the registry before you modify it. Then, you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up and restore the registry, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

322756  How to back up and restore the registry in Windows

To use the direct booking feature in Outlook 2010, you must add registry data to your Outlook client. Use the following steps to add this registry data to enable direct booking:

  1. Exit Outlook.
  2. Start Registry Editor.
    • In Windows Vista, click Start

the Start button

, type regedit in the Start Search box, and then press ENTER. 

User Account Control permission

 If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.

    • In Windows XP, click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.
  1. Locate and then select the following subkey in the registry:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar

  1. On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.
  2. Type EnableDirectBooking, and then press ENTER.
  3. Right-click EnableDirectBooking, and then click Modify.
  4. In the Value data box, type 1, and then click OK.
  5. Exit Registry Editor.
  6. Start Outlook.

 

Method 2: Configure the registry by using Group Policy

The registry data that is required to enable direct booking in Outlook can be configured by using Group Policy. The default Group Policy template (Outlk14.adm) for Outlook 2010 does not contain the policy setting that controls Outlook direct booking. Therefore, you must use a custom Group Policy template to enable direct booking by using Group Policy.

To deploy this setting by using a custom Group Policy template, follow these steps:

  1. The following file is available for download from the Microsoft Download Center:


Download

Download the Outlk14-DirectBooking.zip package now.

For more information about how to download Microsoft support files, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

119591  How to obtain Microsoft support files from online services

Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.

  1. Extract the custom .adm template from the Outlk14-DirectBooking.zip package.

    Note The custom .adm template contains the following text.
  2. CLASS MACHINE
  3. CLASS USER
  4.  
  5.    CATEGORY !!L_MicrosoftOfficeOutlookDirectBooking
  6.          POLICY !!L_TurnOnOffDirectBooking
  7.              KEYNAME "Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar"
  8.              EXPLAIN !!L_TurnOnOffDirectBookingExplain
  9.              VALUENAME "EnableDirectBooking"
  10.              VALUEON NUMERIC 1
  11.              VALUEOFF NUMERIC 0
  12.          END POLICY
  13.       END CATEGORY
  14. [strings]
  15. L_Version="14.0.4760.1000"
  16. L_LCID="1033"
  17. L_MicrosoftOfficeOutlookDirectBooking="Outlook 2010 Direct Booking"
  18. L_TurnOnOffDirectBooking="Enable or disable direct booking"
  19. L_TurnOnOffDirectBookingExplain="This policy controls the Outlook direct booking feature in
    Outlook 2010 \n \n By default, Outlook 2010 does not implement the direct booking code
    used in earlier versions of Outlook, and a meeting request is sent to the resource
    mailbox the same way a meeting request is sent to regular meeting attendees.\n \n
    Enable this policy to configure Outlook to use the direct booking code whenever you add
    a mailbox to the Resources box in a meeting request.\n \n
    If you disable this policy or do not configure this policy, when you send a meeting
    request to a mailbox configured for direct booking, the meeting is not successfully
    booked. You do not receive an error message in this scenario. If you open the mailbox
    configured for direct booking, the meeting request is in the Inbox folder."
  20. Add the Outlk14-DirectBooking.adm file to your Group Policy Editor.

    Note The steps to add the .adm file to the Group Policy Editor vary, depending on the version of Windows that you are running. Also, because you may be applying the policy to an organizational unit (OU) and not to the whole domain, the steps may also vary in this aspect of applying a policy. Therefore, we recommend that you check your Windows documentation for more information.

    After you add the .adm template to the Group Policy Editor, go to step 4.
  21. In the Group Policy Editor, follow these steps:

a.            Expand User Configuration.

b.            Expand Policies.

c.            Expand Administrative Templates: Policy definitions.

d.            Expand Classic Administrative Templates (ADM) to locate the policy node for your custom template. The custom .adm template that you extracted in step 2 is in this location. The template is named "Outlook 2010 Direct Booking."

Collapse this image

Outlook 2010 Direct Booking



  1. Click Outlook 2010 Direct Booking.
  2. Under Settings, double-click Enable or disable direct booking.
  3. Click Enabled, and then click OK.

After you enable the policy, the policy setting will be applied to the Outlook client workstations when the Group Policy update is replicated. To test this change, run the following command at a command prompt on a client workstation:

gpupdate /force

After you run this command, start Registry Editor on the client workstation to make sure that the following registry data exists on the client:

Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
DWORD: EnableDirectBooking
Value: 1

If you see this registry data in the registry, the Group Policy setting is applied to this client. Start Outlook to verify that this change resolves the problem.

 

Method 3: Deployment of the registry data by using the Office Customization Tool

You can also deploy the registry data by using the Add registry entries option in the Office Customization Tool (OCT). Follow these steps in the OCT to deploy registry data that re-enables the direct booking feature in Outlook 2010.

Note To use the OCT, you must have an Enterprise edition of Office 2010. If you have a Retail edition of Office 2010, you receive the following error message when you try to start the OCT:

Files necessary to run the Office Customization Tool were not found. Run Setup from the installation point of a qualifying product.

  1. Start the OCT by using a command similar to the following:

\\server_name\share_name\Office2010\Setup.exe /admin

  1. In the Select Product dialog box, click Create a new Setup customization file for the following product.
  2. In the Select Product dialog box, select your Office product. Then, click OK.
  3. In the navigation pane of the OCT, select Add registry entries, and then click Add.
  4. In the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box, specify the following settings, and then click OK:
    • Root: HKEY_CURRENT_USER
    • Data type: REG_DWORD
    • Key: Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Calendar
    • Value name: EnableDirectBooking
    • Value data: 1

The following figure displays these changes made in the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box:

Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box



After you click OK in the Add/Modify Registry Entry dialog box, the OCT displays the registry data as shown in the following figure: 

Microsoft Office Customization Tool



  1. Complete any remaining tasks in the OCT, and then save the .msp file.
  2. Deploy Office 2010 by including this .msp file.

For more information about the Office Customization Tool in Office 2010, see the following topic on the Microsoft TechNet Web site:
