Mailmerge Macro

How do I create a macro that will automatically complete the mailmerge process?

Copy and paste the following code in Notepad.
Save the file as "mailmerge.vbs" (With quotes)
Run the file when you want the master.doc file to pick up the data from a file and output the data to output.doc file. The name and location of the data file should be inbuilt into master.doc file.

All these three files must be present on e: drive. (Or any other location you choose)

Set objWord= CreateObject("Word.Application")
strFilePath ="e:"
strFile="master.doc"
strFileDest="output.doc"
objWord.Application.Visible = True
Set objWordDoc = objWord.Documents.Open(strFilePath & "\" & strFile,,True)
Set objWordDocMailMerge = objWordDoc.MailMerge
objWordDocMailMerge.Execute True
Set docDest = objWord.ActiveDocument
docDest.SaveAs strFilePath & "\" & strFileDest

If you want to close all the files and quit word then add the following lines..
docDest.Close False
objWordDoc.Close False
objWord.Quit
Set objWord= Nothing

Avoid spam and get organized with cjb.net

I had mentioned a few ways to avoid junk mail in my article http://oksoft.antville.org/stories/140047/
There is a better way of dealing with the junk mail. You can create temporary, use and throw type of e-mail addresses. For e.g. whenever a site ask for my e-mail address and I don't want to disclose my true yahoo e-mail address, What I do is, simply create a new one on the fly! If the site name is freehouse.com, I tell it that my e-mail is, freehouse@shantanuo.cjb.net
Now when they send me an e-mail, I receive it in my yahoo inbox. If I find that it's a junk mail, I simply login to cjb.net and forward my newly created e-mail freehouse@shantanuo.cjb.net to junk@hotmail.com or something like that.
This method is better than blocking the sender's e-mail address, because spammers often change their "from" e-mail address.
Once you register with cjb.net you can create as many e-mail addresses as you want! All e-mail addresses will be forwarded to your true email account. If you don't want one of those addresses, simply forward it to somewhere else!
This site does not only help you to fight spam but it's a great tool to get organized. So what are you waiting for? start today! http://www.cjb.net

Forget, Forgive and farther!

There is so much discomfit, pain, anguish in the day to day life, that it's hard to maintain and improve the relationship with other people. I am ready to forget all that anguish and hatred I had to suffer in the past due to spoiled relations provided all of those people and things get out of my life. That's the only way to forget. You can't forgive unless you forget. And you can't forget unless you farther or distance yourself from those objects.

anchors in CSS explained

The CSS code of my weblog http://oksoft.antville.org/ is as follows:

a {text-decoration: none;}
a:link {color: #FF3300;}
a:visited {color: #FF3300;}
a:hover {
background-color: #FF3300;
color: #FFFFFF;
}
a:active {color: #FF0000;}

Well, what does it mean?
There is no text decoration applied to the links.
Link color is red.
Visited color is red again.
Active color is red but in different shade.
Hover color is white with red background.

Remember, LVHA (Link, Visited, Hover, Active). Any other sequence may become problematic.

Guess What?

Internet is full of surprises. After the attack on World Trade Center everyone said, "I had never thought such a thing would happen." Well, who had thought you could chat for free with your friends abroad? Who had thought all the information on the earth will be available on the click of a mouse? Both, good and bad things happen unexpectedly. You need to be prepared for it!
A lot of people think I am an Internet Expert. They ask me what's next? One of the share brokers, when asked for the good stocks had said, "If I knew which stocks to pick, I wouldn't be working as a consultant!"
As the Us defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld while answering to the question of invading Iraq said, "There are three kinds of issues here... the issue of what we know... the issue of what we don't know... the issue of what we don't know we don't know."
If I know what's next, it can't be called a surprise.
Right? And let me repeat, Internet is full of surprises. Be prepared!

Startup Disk and Registry backup

When your computer is working smooth..
a) Startup Disk
Everyone of us has experienced the frustration if the computer won't start. This problem is more difficult to handle than software related problems. The easiest way to make sure your computer 'starts' every morning is to create a bootable install disk.
Go to Start | Settings | Control Panel | Add or Remove Programs and choose the Startup Disk tab (should be the last tab). Just insert a blank floppy in the floppy drive and click 'Create disk'. Once you have created your boot disk, just put it in your computer if it starts acting up.

b) Backup Registry
It's a good practice to backup your registry setting if in case...
Start - Run - regedit
From Registry Menu choose Export Registry File...
Save the file somewhere on the hard drive. Next time if you think there is some problem with the regisry, double click on this file.
Remember - A Stitch in Time Saves Nine.
