If you copy contant from web and paste them into Microsoft Word file, you may found that there are a lot of hyperlinks, which you may want to delete them.
So, how to you delete those unused hyperlinks? Simply right-click them one by one and choose “Remove hyperlink“? This method is very time consuming especially if you have a very long article that has a lot of hyperlinks.
The second method you may try to paste the content into a notepad first, then copy content from notepad, and paste again into a new Word file. This method will also remove the heading and style of your content, it is because when you paste something to notepad, notepad will only read plain text from it.
So, how to solve this problem wisely? The best method is to paste your content into a new word file, press “Ctrl + A” to select all, and then use the shortcut key “Ctrl + Shift + F9” to remove all hyperlinks.
Simple, huh?

docx is Microsoft Office 2007 Word documents extension. Now, you can view docx files using Firefox by installing OpenXMLViewer, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux users.
The picture above shows the architecture of OpenXML Viewer. After installing the Firefox plugin, you are able to open any docx files using Firefox.
It is an useful extension for users who haven’t upgrade to Microsoft Office 2007. Basically, the extension will convert docx documents into HTML format so that web browsers can render and display to users. So, the extension is not able to shows embedded objects.

We use Microsoft Office everyday. There are a lot of features that are hidden by default, and we need to manually enable them so that they appear at the toolbox button. One of the example is the calculation feature.
Step 1
First of all, click the “Customize Quick Access Toolbar” button and choose “More Commands…”
Step 2
After that, select the Calculate from the list and press the “Add>>” button.
Step 3
Then, you may start to provide some formula, highlight it and press the “Formula” button at the Quick Access Toolbar. Microsoft Word will calculate the result and save at clipboard. Then, press the “Paste” button and the result will appear.

Sometimes, when you want to open your PDF or Word documents at others’ computer but unfortunately the comuter doesn’t have such application to open them (although this is very rare case).
So, what you going to do? If your document is PDF format, you may download Foxit Reader to open it. But if the document is Word format, how you are going to open it? Download the OpenOffice and install at that computer? It is impossible for us to download the whole application for just want to open a file right?
So, maybe you can try the online File Viewer for PDF, Word and PosiScript service. You may need to upload the documents from your local drive, but i am not sure about the maxuimum file size allowed. As you can see from the screenshot, there are some control buttons on the left hand side of the documents.
This Online File Viewer actually convert the PDF and PostScript documents into image and display to the users. These documents are keep in the server and will be deleted 3 days after the last view.

Live Documents is created by Sabeer Bhatia, co-founder of Hotmail, before Microsoft bought it at 1998. Now, he formed a new company called InstaColl and compete with Zoho, ThinkFree, BuzzWord as an online document processing application.
If you read my blogs often, you sure know BuzzWord, a free flash-based word processor. Nowadays, most of the online application either use Flash/Flex or AJAX beside server-side programming language. Live Documents is similar with BuzzWord as both of them are built using Flash/Flex.
Bhatia claims that more and more people start using online application now and by 2010, people will not buying software. As you can see, there are more and more applications go online. The most significant is word processing software.

Abode had bought BuzzWord which is developed by Virtual Ubiquity.Inc. Now, public user can start to use this application.
There are a few web-based word processor which base on AJAX and HTML. Among them are Google Doc, Zoho Writer, ThinkFree, and etc. Now, BuzzWord introduce a flash-based word processor which has advantage on its user interface. Definitely, flash’s design is more intuitive than AJAX design. But, if we compare the features between BuzzWord and other web-based word processor, obviously BuzzWord still has a lot of space to improve. For example, they can not suppost Chinese or Japanese input.
Currently, BuzzWord can only supports RTF, MS DOC and Word 2003 XML document import and export. I believe they still working on how to import PDF document, as PDF technology is developed by Adobe. So i believe this is another advantage of BuzzWord over its competitor is they successfully implement it.
