Being a master’s student, I always have something to do with Microsoft Word. Be it assignments, lab results or project reports not a week goes by without having to use winword in the run dialog.

It gets even worse when I am forced to type in lines of equations having subscripts and superscripts. Its a nightmare to go through the long process of right-clicking for a context menu, then selecting the Font menu item that brings up a dialog and then requires you to check the Subscript option of the many other effects (Note: The process repeats to get the cursor back to normal font style). All this just for a few alphabets or numbers can definitely be agitating especially when its right before submission time.

So, here’s a nifty keyboard shortcut for the subscript effect – Ctrl+=
(keep the control key pressed and click the equal key to toggle between modes)

I hope there is something for the superscript too…

 
For those of you who are not aware, ESRI publishes video tutorials on its free subscription channel at Viddler.com on its wide range of products.

Here’s one interesting video on how one can enhance the search and find capabilities of ArcGIS Explorer by adding a Geonames Search task that is available from the resource center.

The Explorer team did a good work by not just running through the process of finding places using this task, but rather had a story with an objective to find a place in Glacier National Park, Montana.

 
I am a Google lover and a big fan of Google Reader. If there is any tab in my firefox browser that is always open, its that of Google Reader not GMail.
We have seen people alter GMail’s look with the release of its themes feature a couple of weeks ago. So did Google Maps, with some major changes in its look and user interaction but Reader looked the same since its inception.
Yesterday, the Google Reader Team announced on its Official Blog a new look for Reader with some noteworthy improvements which now make it even more user-friendly and appealing.
Following are the changes reported on its blog:
  • Updated look and feel
  • Collapsible navigation
  • Friends get promoted
  • Hide unread counts
  • More feed bundles
Along with the changes, some things have been moved:
  • Refresh” button is now in the Subscriptions options menu
  • Show all – updated” controls also moved into the Subscriptions options menu
  • The “Add subscription” button has been moved to the top of the navigation pane
Visit the original blog post – Square is the new round for more details on the changes
