Posted by Allen on January 21st, 2010

Like other applications from the Microsoft Office suite, Outlook 2003 and 2007 comes with a bundled spell-checker. Unlike other email programs, Outlook benefits from features in Office, like AutoCorrection and custom dictionary.
To access the Spelling Options in Outlook 2003 and 2007 , go to the Tools menu, and choose Options. Then select the Options dialog’s Spelling tab. Outlook 2003 and and 2007 can help you by checking your spelling and/or grammar as you type your emails. Outlook’s Spelling Options allow you to configure the degree to which you let Outlook control your publications.
The Always suggest replacements for misspelled words checkbox controls whether Outlook helps you or not by underlining with a wavy red line words it perceives as misspelled.
Whether or not Outlook checks your spelling while you type, it can prevent you from sending out misspelled emails by enabling the Always check spelling before sending option, (off by default), and give you a last chance to review your text before emailing it.
Ignore words in UPPERCASE instructs Outlook 2003 and 2007 to skip any word in uppercase character not in Office’s dictionary, (like acronyms).

Increase amount of rings before voicemail

If you do need additional ring time before voicemail:

A) The simplest method is to call your carrier and request a longer ring time, up to 30 seconds.

B) If you have a GSM based phone, some have had success by dialing this number from your phone: **61*XXXXXXXXXXX**30#

Replace XXXXXXXXXXX with the number of your carrier voice mail center (find it by looking at your Phone Dialer > Options > VoiceMail > Access Number. Put your access number in place of the Xs above.
For example, the Vodafone uk voice mail access number is 121, and thus the string to dial would be **61*18056377243**30#

Replace the 30 at the end of the string with your desired seconds. For most carriers, 30 seconds is the longest allowed.

Use Windows Media Player while in Firefox

Posted by Allen on January 4th, 2010

Microsoft has released a Windows Media Player plugin for Firefox through its “Open Source Lab”. It looks like this is just another part of Microsoft moving its focus to media from controlling the window to the Internet.

In any case, this should be useful for users of Windows Media Player that are so efficiency-obsessed that they need to control their music through their favorite web browser.
