Two useful utilities





We are daily using MS Word/Excel/Powerpoint applications for different uses. But whenever you require to read two or more word documents at a time, hitherto we have to minimise one, open the other, then minimise the second to open the first and so on making us irritated very much if the process is a long one. Comparing two or three Excel documents at a time is still laborious. But these are all yesterday's story.

Here comes Officetab for our help. We all do know what is a tabbed browsing. Eversince Opera browser introduced it FireFox followed it and now almost all browsers IE 7 or 8, Google Chrome etc offer tabbed browsing and needless it is to say how conveniently we browse the surf with this facility. Officetab provides tabs for our MS Word/Excel and Powerpoint applications. You can open any number of tabs and view simultaneously several word documents at a time, cut a para from one and paste it in the other and when you open two word documents you can even have a split view which is very useful when you compare two documents. (This was very helpful for me when I converted the "Saranagathi maalai" in unicode font to Shreelipi font for purposes of releasing the book during HH Mysore Andavan Sathamana Thirunakshathra uthsavam) Officetab can be downloaded from this link
