How to show developer tab in Office 2007/2010
If the Microsoft Office applications come to their limits, you can help out in many cases with the developer tools. These allow you to write macros, which are small programs in VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) and thus still give your Office projects that certain “liveliness”. However, the tab with the developer tools (Developer tab) isn’t displayed by default. How to enable it in Office 2007 and Office 2010, I want to show you (using PowerPoint) today.

Click on the “Menu” button and in the menu that opens, click the “PowerPoint Options” button. Now in the Options window, below the “Commonly used” section, you can find a box where you can activate the developer tools in the ribbon bar.
How to embed Youtube videos in PowerPoint 2010
At the moment I have to do a lot off PowerPoint stuff, so there may come the one or other article concerning Microsofts PowerPoint in the next days. I will not go directly to the basics, but rather the one or other little trick that was (hopefully) not known by some of you . Today I like to show you how to integrate YouTube videos in PowerPoint presentations.
Anyone who don’t like to read the illustrated instructions, may also scroll down and see the whole thing as video.

Step 1:
Search for a YouTube video and click on “Share”. (Do not worry, it will not immediately shared anything to anywhere.) Now click on the “Embed” button, select the small box titled “Use old embed code” and copy the HTML code from the box […]
Workaround: How to use Sony Erricson LiveView Plug-ins with Android 4.0/ICS
Following is a brief introduction. Those only looking for the solution of the problem, please scroll down.
For some time now I’m a proud owner of a Sony Ericsson Live View. The part has already irritated me when it came out, but at that time it was a bit above my price expectations.
Meanwhile you can get the small screen for your wrist for round about 20$. Even though the price may be decreased not only by its successor, but also by some negative criticism for the LiveView, I could not help but had to buy one.
All in all I’m quite satisfied with the Live View. The oft-lamented low battery life, I can not confirm. Over night I turn it off and make it so a battery life of no less than 4-5 […]
650.000 free icons, vector graphics and stocks
Today I want to introduce to you three websites that I use for my programs as well as for my work here on the blog frequently. Have you guessed what it is? No? It comes to icons. Such as they are in almost every beginning of my blog articles.
I got all these icons more or less from three portals on the net. Of course completely legally and free of charge. And how that goes, I do not hide from you.
The three sites at issue are the following:
www.iconarchive.com
www.iconfinder.com
www.findicons.com
All three sites are built up similar. They not only offer you a total of over 650,000 different icons, but beyond this, also the possibility to sort the icons by their type of license. This allows you for example to search only for icons which […]
How to synchronize Google Drive with Dropbox
Today I want to show you how you keep the two services Dropbox and Google Drive in sync. The whole thing is easier than perhaps previously thought.
Both, Dropbox and Google Drive, create a local folder on your computer. The files in this folder are then known to be synchronized with the cloud and all connected devices. If you want to protect yourself from data loss, for example, and therefore want to use two systems in parallel, you would have to copy files (after creating or changing them) in both folders (the Dropbox and the Google drives) every time.
You can remedy yourself, by pointing the Dropbox folder into a subfolder of your Google Drive. This is very easy.
