Boldchat is the best service that allows you to chat with your customers while they visit your website. The price is just right! Free for basic features and 5 to 40 dollars per month per seat for the features like, History Emails or Standard Messages. The service has the potential to become a right tool for corporate messaging needs. I just had a chat session with Kent Johnson, who runs his company Bravestorm, LLC from Wichita, Kansas, USA. He informed me that the service was started in February 03 and in just 8 months he has managed to earn 11000 accounts. Pretty impressive! I will watch the service and the man behind it as well!

Google searches for the pages "alive" on the net. But what if you want to search for the pages which are "gone"?
The Internet Archive now has the ability to do keyword searches. The new feature, currently in beta, offers the ability to search a portion of the "Wayback" archive database (about eleven billion pages.)

Data labels are useful, but they can clutter a chart, particularly if you have extraneous labels that show "0.00" or "0%" for points that have zero value. You can manually delete these individual labels. But a better solution is to use a custom number format that doesn't display zero values. Double click the labels, select the Number tab, and click on Custom in the left-hand list. A number format generally consists of four format options, separated by semicolons:
[format if positive];[format if negative];[format if zero];[format if text]
Define a custom format that provides no format for zeros to prevent their appearance, such as one of these:
0;;;
0%;;;

Microsoft Office has custom menus as a default, and only those menu items that are frequently used are shown. To overcome this, you can change the setting in any one Office application and it will affect all other installed Office programs as well.
As an example, in MS Word, Right Click any spot on the toolbar, choose Customize, Options, and check "Always show full menus".

When I participated in the online survey hosted by Yahoo a few days back, full of questions related to blog and RSS without menioning these two words anywhere, I knew Yahoo is entering in the hot technology of blogs and RSS.
Yahoo! RSS news feed at
http://news.yahoo.com/rss/
Feeds here include Top Stories, World, Business, Highest Rated, Most Viewed, and Most E-Mailed. They're also using blog feeds in their new blogging service at Yahoo
Korea. See the feeds by doing a Google search for rss filetype:xml site:kr.blog.yahoo.com . Considering that the service just launched, I don't think it's bad at all that Google's already found 37 of them.

If you work with Microsoft Office files regularly, you’ve undoubtedly run into a case of file corruption. Fortunately, there are a few good tricks specifically designed to recover and repair Microsoft Office files.

• Try opening the file by holding down the [Shift] key and double-clicking the file in Explorer. This will keep automatic VB code from running, as well as other automatic commands that may be the cause of the error.
• Use the “broken fonts add-in” that ships with Office 2003. In Word, install the add-in. Then, on Tools menu, click Repair Broken Text.
• Select File + Save As Web page, quit Word, reopen the htm file in IE. Or try saving in Word 2 format. Unfortunately, you will lose a lot of formatting.
• If even that doesn't work, select File + Open, set the “Files of type” list box to “Recover Text from Any File”, and open the corrupt document. You'll lose all of your formatting.
• Open the Damaged Word Document in Draft Mode
  On the View menu, click Normal.
  On the Tools menu, click Preferences.
  Click the View tab.
  Click to select the Draft Font check box.
• Insert the File into a Blank Document: from Insert-file option.
• Use the Paste Link Command to Open the Document via a Link.
• Copy Everything Except the Last Paragraph Mark to a New Document.
• Open the file in Microsoft Wordpad or Write.
• Strip out the header information:
  go to a DOS prompt and type:
  copy con+corruptdocfilename.doc newname.doc
  Press the spacebar 12 times and press [Enter].
  Then, open the newname.doc in Word.
• Try this safe and best bet (but it will cost you all customization you made to your Word):
  StartButton|Run winword /regserver (there is a blank before the switch)

Google Answers is a live question/ answer system. Ask anything that's on your mind, from business research to philosophy, to "what's the title of this book". Attach an answer price from US-$2 to $200. There's a (non-refundable) listing fee of $0.50, but except for that the money can be completely refunded if you're not satisfied with an answer. But that's unlikely to happen, since more than 500 carefully screened Researchers selected by Google are ready to do their best to give high-quality answers!
