Here I provide several time-saving functionalities of different software. Did you know about it?

1. I bet you know about Macro. It is an oversimplified Visual Basic script. When you do some routine job and repeat several commands very often it is quite reasonable to record a Macro. The basic problem about Macro is that some antivirus programs detect them as viruses.

2. Adobe Photoshop’s Actions. Action is a kind of Macro, a sequence of commands, activated on click or keyboard shortcut. You can create different frames; make different complex effects using actions that go with Photoshop by default. You can also record your own Actions.

3. Batch in Photoshop. So what you can do if you need to resize, rename and autocorrect 300 pictures? Use Batch. Select source folder, apply one or several actions, select destination folder, pick the naming option, file format, press OK and have a cup of coffee.

4. PDF-converting button in toolbar. It is integrated with PDF Transformer in most office applications. You can convert PDF-attachments in e-mails immediately, as well as convert PDF to Excel, convert PDF to Word. Creating PDF-presentations from PPT is also a single-click job.

5. Handling a screenshot. To create a screenshot and past a piece of it into letter or word application or recognize you also need a single click. Done by a special tiny utility Screenshot Reader.

6. Excel also keeps its secrets. You even don’t need to know Visual Basic to use some of its functionalities. Those are auto-change and sorting. Did you know it supports standard request language? For instance: change line “*http ://www.” into “ www.” Using it you can unify, sort and remove duplicate lines for any list. Removing of duplicates is done by Advanced filter.

7. When you translate — you can do it on-mouse-over. At least 2 applications support this function. Translate It and ABBYY Lingvo 12. Simply hold a cursor a little longer on unfamiliar word.

8. What do you know about Nero beside how to record or erase the CD? Nero can copy CD and record it as many times as you will set up. Just insert blank CDs.

9. You will find an outstanding cover designer in Nero Pack. It lets a complete beginner create professionally-looking cover design in seconds.

10. Use File manager. Your life will be much easier with such programs as Total Commander. Sorting, multi-renaming, packing, coping, moving, transferring files via FTP, access to Control panel can be done much faster than you used to.

Good luck!
