Tell MS Word instructions in your own words

There are not many Windows users, who never used Microsoft Word. In most cases, the text generation task is easy and straightforward. However, if the task is more complicated, and unusual formatting is needed, you have to spend quite some time, studying Help or trying different options. Something does not work as you want to - you get desperate and annoyed with the software.

Software Theories Inc. decided to enhance the text editor by adding quite unusual capabilities. In order to perform any operations with the test, you can simply type in your own words, what you want. The command recognition database will identify your need and perform adequate operation. Rather than requiring from user of learning and memorizing Word’s intricate menus and dialogs, Natural Word attempts to understand the user, and translates his/her requests into actions Word can comprehend.

Natural Word not only tries to make Word easier to use, but also more efficient. It tries to infer the most popular or obvious action based on the current context, allowing you to be as terse as you want. For instance, rather than typing “make the text color blue, try simply - “blue” after you highlighted the word or sentence. If you want the text background to be changed, try “blue background”, and for the page background color to be changed, try “blue page background”. To justify text into the middle of the page try “middle” or “center”. If you want to change the text font size, simply type “24”, and if you want to insert table with 3 rows and 2 columns, try “3 by 2 table”.

As you see, the consumer approach to the software is completely different, and if in some cases, it is easier to choose Word’s built-in capabilities, while in other cases the new MS Word plug-in will significantly shorten the learning curve and time for text formatting.

Natural Word is absolutely free for home use. So try it, and you might fall in love with it!

Revo Uninstaller - Secure and Effective Applications Removal

I like trying different software (definitely, freeware) utilities. Most of them, I will never use again, and just few become the part of my software tool-box. So, unneeded software should be uninstalled without leaving any traces on the computer. Unfortunately, it does not work like that. Program developers care a lot about clean and proper program installation, but they care much less, on how the software will be removed from your computer. Sometimes, it does not work at all, giving you notification that the un-installation file is missing. Sometimes, it does not produce any error messages, but still leaves behind abandoned drivers, orphan application files, empty data directories, else. For example, standard un-installer, built in the Windows Operation Systems, cannot entirely remove all traces of AOL software, no matter what.

Definitely, it is good to use portable software, whenever possible, and I would consider non-portable programs just in the exceptional cases, when portable versions do not exist, and there is no competitive freeware product, offering portability.

In this post, I want to present a free portable solution for clean programs removal from your computer. Revo Uninstaller is able to completely uninstall unwanted programs from your PC even if you cannot uninstall them from "Windows Add or Remove Programs" control panel applet. Revo Uninstaller is also much faster and more powerful alternative to the Windows un-installer. With its advanced algorithm, it can analyze through a deep scan application’s data before and after application removal to make sure, no traces left. Even if you have a broken installation, Revo Uninstaller scans for an application’s data on your hard disk drives and in the Windows registry and shows all found files, folders and registry keys so you can delete them. This doesn’t just recover space on your HDD - it speeds up your computer as well.

On top of the main un-installer utility, Revo gives you another bonus - 8 handy and powerful tools to clean up your system: Auto Start Manager, Windows Tools Manager, Junk Files Cleaner, Browsers History Cleaner, Office History Cleaner, Windows History Cleaner, Unrecoverable Delete Tool, Evidence Remover.

28 free portable computer games

Even if you consider yourself as a serious and busy computer user, sometimes, it is quite useful to take a break and to clean a head. And what can be better to do so, than getting in computer game? So, do you know, what is better than a free computer game? Free portable computer games are better than just free computer games. In my previous publications, I have already voiced my positive attitude towards portable computer software. Its standard advantages are applicable to the computer games as well:

1. The program installation is not required. Copy the executable file or the entire program folder to your Hard Drive, and you are good to go.
2. There is no danger, that the new program produces a software conflict with the programs, which are already installed on your computer, fighting for example for the same driver or requesting a newer version, while the existing software is satisfied with the current version.
3. Program can be saved on the external mobile drive and transferred everywhere, allowing to use it on any computer, including on those, where the installation of the unsanctioned programs is undesirable (in your office, library, or the Internet cafe).
4. All user files might be located in the application sub-folder, inside the program directory. If you could not finish your game at home - you can save it on USB stick and continue at work from the same point, you were interrupted (I hope, you will not consider this recommendation for the practical course of actions).
5. You fed up with the game - just erase entire folder, and you are done with it. No negative consequences to your computer will be observed: no left-over orphan drivers or altered computer configuration.

As usual, I prepared the list of free portable programs with the brief description, rating, and link for downloading at RateItAll:

http://www.rateitall.com/t-26491-portable-computer-games--freeware-reviews.aspx

At the moment, there are 28 computer programs included in the listing, but I have modest long-term plans to bring amount of the listed titles to 100. So that, come back once a while to check for new entries.
