Attaching Files to Microsoft Word

Probably you already know, but I work with systems, I mean, I analyze the client requirements and specify the features a new software or piece of it will have, to do so it's well know that exists an standard document where an analyst have to explain in detail how the feature will behave when the user interacts with it.

Many times, it's necessary to make references to other documents to get the specification clearer enough, and this is why I thought about attaching files instead of referencing them because the person who this document was address for couldn't access to our repository, so I tried to send a unique file containing all the information to avoid any problem. As I did this through Word I'll show you how to do it in it, probably you can do the same with the other Office applications.

The first thing you have to do is to prepare the file that is going to be attached, once you got this file you are now able to use it inside a parent file. The next step it's to open the parent file and locate the place where the another file will be attached. 
 
Position the cursor in the place to attach the file
    
Once you have located the position of the attachment select the "Object" list under the "Insert" section, in this list select also the "Object..." button.

Go to insert option

Choose the tab "Create from File" because a previous created file will be selected.

Go to create from file tab

Just search the file you want to attach in the Windows explorer.

Pick the file to attach

Finally, as you selected your file to be added to your parent file, click on "Display as Icon" to show the file as icon.

Make sure to show icon

With this your file is ready to be sent containing the attachment file you selected.

I Need to Send an Automatic Email with Lotus Notes

Image
If you don't know, Lotus Notes is an email client used in a lot of companies around the world. Therefore, I use it at work everyday, but someday I needed to send an automatic email to a few people all Fridays at 10:00.   To get this task accomplished I decided to create an agent and avoid remembering the fact of sending the email. As you can image, I did this example on a Spanish version of Lotus Notes 8.5 but I will explain it clearly enough. The first step is getting yourself into the inbox, then select the "Create" menu item and inside of it, click on "Agent...". You will get a dialog box opened, in this we have the possibility of setting the rules for this agent. However, in this case we will only set "Trigger" option to "On schedule" with the "Weekly" frequency. Don't forget to push the "Schedule..." button to program the agent in the right way. After this, select "OK" and close the dialog bo...

Turn Horizontal Visio Swimlanes into Vertical Ones

Image
In one ocassion, a friend at work called me because she had a problem with Microsoft Visio , she was trying to draw a process flowchat but using swimlanes, this was not a problem until she realized that it would be better to use vertical swimlanes instead of horizontal ones.    But, when she tried to drag a vertical one it just put together to the previous swimlanes created before.  To avoid creating a new visio document and lost your work just go to 'Cross-Functional Flowchart' ribbon and select 'Orientation' and 'Vertical'.     And it's done, now you can work with vertical swimlanes or if you like it you can turn them back to horizontal ones.
