Howto: Fix the Outlook 2007 Double Spacing Problem

I use Outlook 2007 and have experienced crazy formatting problems under certain circumstances that are not always reproducible. Here’s what I did to fix the problem:

1. Close both Outlook if it is running
2. Browse to my C:\Documents and Settings\User\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates directory and rename the normal.dotm and normalemail.dotm files. These files will be automatically recreated the next time you launch Outlook. Note that renaming these files may cause you to lose signatures and other custom settings.
3. Launch Outlook, then close Outlook. This will cause your normalemail.dotm file to be recreated.
4. Recreate your signatures if needed.
5. Repeat this process for any other user profiles you may have.

I’m sure there is a more elegant way to fix this problem, but I’ve tried modifying everything I could think of inside both Outlook and Word – styles, formatting, stationary, Outlook templates, etc.

Cisco VPN disconnects after 5 seconds with error 422

I had problem with my VPN when try to access the office network. VPN used to disconnect connected after few seconds. I have gone through the few forums and finally got the solution.Then i have made the below changes and its worked for me.

My computer name has always been localhost (no, really, In the system->computer name dialog, I named it localhost). This screws up the network for other windows machines, because if they try to enter \localhost\ in the address bar, windows reports a network name collision.

And apparently Cisco VPN doesn't like my computer name either.

But i am not sure whether this fix is correct or not. but it worked for me :)

OTF (open type fonts) not working with NVIDA drivers

When you try to install the OTF (open type fonts) in NVIDA drivers installed in system you can see the error message as in side image. I have marked the error in red color border for better understanding. I had this problem when i try to install open type fonts in my computer, then i started browsing the solution for the problem. Finally i got the solution to overcome the problem to add a new key in registry

Here the steps :

1) Start.Run.regedit

2) Navigate to: HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Control/SessionManager/MemoryManagement

3) Add a new DWORD named SessionImageSize and set to decimal value 20

4) Reboot your computer and have fun with OpenType fonts.

I followed the above steps and i was able to install it after Reboot my computer.

Best way to write CSS

People are habituated to using css for all small and big size web applications development. Does any one thinking while writing css classes in capable of being used again. We need to consider the future maintenance of the web site while introducing any new css class. While writing the css we need to follow some standards and easy understandable.

when we are writing new class for blue background color the class name should say "bluebg" or "blue-background". But i strongly suggest to use simple names for classes and should me meaningful.


There are better ways to apply the css styles for elements like div,span,table,etc..
In our exmaple my client wants to show the heading in red color with fontsize 20px.
In general people will write one single class for headings this is fine if its a small applications. If we write the css classes like below which we can use anywhere in the applications.

.font20{
font-size: 20px;
}
.redcolor{
color: #C71585;
}

This is how we apply the style to element <
div class="font20 redcolor">
My Heading<
/div>


In the above example i have applied two css styles to element by giving a space between the class names. If we start using the above example we can reduce the effort in future when some one want to change the all headings to some other color.

I googled to find the solution for customize the input button using curve and shadow images, But finally i did some manipulation in css and got the required output ofcourse which works in all major browsers (ie - allversion,Mozilla,Mac safari) and this button will be extends upon the content. I felt this below information would be helpful for the web developer who wants to customize the input buttons to match the UI.

Initially we felt that, we can customize this input button by using 2 images (Sprite image concept) but later we faced some problems in ie using png filters.Finally we have used three images to create the button.

Here is the steps to follow to create the cutomize the input button.

I have create the below image with shadow which i would like to apply this same style for input button.



If you would like to have the same look and feel to the input button , you please save the below three png images and makesure you should save the images in png format only.
