Software : Outlook for iOS gets deeper Office document integration |
Outlook for iOS gets deeper Office document integration Posted: Microsoft has delivered an update to its Office for iOS apps that brings greater integration between Outlook and the three key elements of the productivity suite. From now onwards any documents sent to an email address using the Outlook for iOS app will open up inside Word, PowerPoint or Excel, as long as the individual apps are installed on the device in question. It's more clever than just that though and once you have finished editing the document, you can click 'Back' and it will automatically save the changes to the file before readying it to be forwarded for further collaboration. If the Office apps aren't installed, however, it will still be possible to use the built-in viewer inside Outlook for iOS. Sending attachments using Outlook for iOS has been made more simple through a the addition of a dedicated 'Send with Outlook' option that is now available in the 'Share' menu inside each app. This will bring up Outlook's 'Compose New Email' window and from there on in it's as easy as simply touching 'Send'. Android coming soonThe update will be a particular boon to organisations that use Office for iOS to work on documents together and makes the action an almost seamless one as before it was only really available when using cloud-based document services. Android will be getting the same functionality "in the next couple of months" and Microsoft is also working on updating Outlook for iOS so that it connects to OneDrive for Business later on this year. |
Mac Tips: GarageBand: How to trim a track Posted: Odds are, one of the first things you'll try to do in GarageBand for Mac is trim a track. Good news: it's super-duper easy, whether you want to chuck a chunk of audio or tweak a clip's starting or stopping point. First, click on the clip you'd like to edit (its frame will lighten to confirm your selection). If you want to cut the clip in two, click and drag the playhead to the spot you'd like to split it at and press Command + T. Voila — one clip becomes two! If one part is trash, highlight it and press the Delete key. Alternatively, you can click and drag the beginning or end of a clip to shorten or lengthen it. Just be sure to pull from the middle of the clip's frame, since pulling from the top corner will loop the clip instead. (Pay attention to the icons your cursor changes to when hovering over those different areas.) And that's it! Now all you need is an amazing song or podcast to edit. Get to work! BONUS TIP: To find the perfect place to trim, it helps to zoom in closer (using the slider in the upper-right corner) for a good look at the waveforms (those squiggly lines that represent a clip's audio content). |
