If you are like me, you often need to type or copy and paste things over and over again. For example, I have a couple Zoom meetings I host. Even though I email the Zoom info to people, there is always somebody who calls me or emails me and asks for the Zoom info again. This used to be annoying, until I found out about the text substitution feature of Microsoft Word and Outlook. Note, I do not know if this feature works in the new version of Outlook. I have only tried this in Outlook Classic. The way this works is that whatever text you need to put in a Outlook email or Word document often, you create what Word or Outlook calls a building block with the text. As an example, I created a building block with my personal zoom room and called it pz. To do this, I did the following:

  1. I started a new email in Outlook.
  2. I copied the Zoom info from Zoom into the email.
  3. I selected all of the text containing the Zoom info.
  4. I pressed Alt F3.
  5. A box came up asking me for the name of the building block. I typed pz. You can type whatever word or phrase you want.
  6. I pressed Enter.

Now, whenever I need to put this info into an email, I type pz followed by F3. Just like that, my Zoom info is in the body of the email.

Nirgends begegne ich dem #Videokonferenzsystem #Zoom so oft wie in #digitaleKirche.

Mit meinem Bild von #Kirche, dass sich in der #DDR geprägt hat, passt das irgendwie gar nicht so recht zusammen. Da sehe ich wenig von der #Unabhängigkeit, #Selbstbestimmung und progressiven Herangehensweise von damals.

Vielleicht findet man diese Verknüpfung merkwürdig. Aber ich ahne langsam woher das Unbehagen kommt, was mich an manchen digitalen Entwicklungen bei Kirchens so beschleicht. Man kann es ebenso auf den Bereich #Office oder #SocialMedia übertragen.

Dieser Tage ist jemand auf meinen Vorschlag eingegangen statt Zoom #Jitsi zu nehmen und wir haben problemlos die Instanz des @luki@kirche.social genutzt, sie wird von engagierten Christen betrieben.

Sie erinnern mich an die 90iger. Es gab das #WWW noch nicht so wie wir es heute kennen, aber einen #Computerclub des #CVJM in #Chemnitz, der eine Instanz in dem weltweiten #Mailbox Netzwerk betrieb. Sie waren Wegbereiter einer nichtkommerziellen, selbstverwalteten internationalen #Vernetzung.

Einige wenige gibt es immer noch und es kommen auch neue hinzu, wie z.B. @librechurch@kirche.social oder @libori.social@libori.social. Ob dieser freiheitliche Geist in digitaler Kirche wieder stärker wehen wird?

#Office is now #Microsoft365.
the urls are still office.com, but you might also end up on live.com. if you’re clever microsoft365.com also works.

the login is obviously through microsoftonline.com, sometimes device.login.microsoftonline.com.

if you create a link you might also visit sharepoint.com, which is different but quite the same.

if you want your emails, that would be outlook.office.com, even though office is now microsoft 365.

and now explain a user to detect a #phishing website. 👀

Do you ever stumble upon an old Excel file that's locked with a password and you can't remember what it is? This can be incredibly frustrating, especially if the file contains valuable data! 😩

In my latest video, I show you a surprisingly easy way to remove worksheet protection from any Excel file, even if you don't have the password! This trick is perfect for those times when you're locked out of your own information.

The best part? You don't need any fancy software to do it! Just a little bit of text editing will do the trick. 😉

Thank you!

FREUNDLICHE ERINERRUNG

Microsoft365 ist nicht datenschutzkonform einsetzbar.

Denkt bitte daran, wenn Ihr noch MS365 an der Schule einsetzt oder den Einsatz sogar noch ausweiten wollt, dass Ihr dann trotz besseren Wissens die SuS einer Dauerüberwachung durch einen der größten Monopolisten aussetzt.

Hört auf, MS365 an Schulen zu benutzen.

@thunderbird, I'm enjoying the updated Thunderbird 112 Beta UI, but I was wondering if you could give us the option to disable the tab area and/or the new top menubar depending on how we configure our UI. If I choose to use the left-most vertical menubar, the other areas seem redundant and take up space. Otherwise, I like the new direction! 👍

@libreoffice has a #DarkMode. 😍

OK, I updated from 7.3, so I probably missed this feature in 7.4, but this is a _huge_ improvement for me. And I just discovered, that I can change the document background, too. Less strain on my eyes. I'm in love! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

If you are used to working with #Microsoft #Office, you might feel lost when working with @libreoffice. But did you know that with just two #LibreOffice settings you can make the user interface look similar to a Microsoft Office product?

Frustrated that #Microsoft now forces you to pay a monthly subscription for #Office? Want to use an office suite that actually cares about its users, but still need to share documents with other Ms Office users? Check out @thelinuxEXP's latest video on how to make @libreoffice behave more like, and be more compatible with, Microsoft Office. youtu.be/G0che2Az9hw

Hey people!

If you use #Microsoft #Office be extra careful when opening documents or files from unknown sources. On May 31st a #vulnerability was disclosed, that allows an attacker to execute code through MS Office via maliciously prepared documents. It's best to open only stuff which comes from people you know or implement the published mitigation strategies:

Currently I am not aware of a security update, so be careful.
