Office Tab brings tabbed documents to Word, Excel and Powerpoint

July 11, 2011 By 1 Comment

I’ve had this tool laying around in my to-do folder for a while now, and today seemed like a good day to take a look at it.

Office Tab brings the tabbed interface from IE, Firefox and Chrome to the Office suite. Instead of the user interface where each document is a separate window, you’re basically returning to the old interface from I think Office XP, where each application within the suite has one window, and there are multiple documents within that window.

The Free version allows you to include tabs in Word, Excel and PowerPoint. If you want tabs in Project or Visio, you’ll need the Professional or Enterprise version. A complete comparison of the versions is found here.

Office Tab 7 is available in 32-bit and 64-bit versions, and supports Office 2003, 2007 and 2010.

Google Chrome for a Cause – donate your tabs!

December 17, 2010 By 4 Comments

Between December 15th and 19th, Google will donate a small amount of money to a charity of your cause for every tab you open in Google Chrome, called “Chrome for a Cause“. You have to install the Chrome For a Cause extension, and at the end of every day you can choose a charity to donate your opened tabs to. Chrome For a Cause supports the following charities:

I’ve only accumulated 2 opened tabs so far, but I’ll let you know what happens to my tabs… :-)

New layout of Automation Adventures

October 15, 2010 By Leave a Comment

As you may have noticed, we’ve completely redone our layout.

The previous template had some serious issues with some of the widgets we were using on this site. Wave plugins would flow over into other posts, and recently our ads started floating into places they shouldn’t. There were some other minor annoyances, but the fact that elements of the website started showing up where they didn’t belong, was the last straw…

The current theme is based on the Genesis framework, and allows for a lot of flexibility in the layout. We’re still working on the various parts we want to show on the homepage and the articles, and the colors of the site don’t completely match those of the plugins, but we’re working hard on getting all of it done by this weekend.

Let me know what you think of the new theme, and if you encounter any problems, don’t hesitate to contact us.

Enjoy the site!
