How to Add Your Gmail Account to Outlook 2013 and 2016 Using IMAP

Posted by jpluimers on 2018/05/11

If you use Outlook to check and manage your email, you can easily use it to check your Gmail account as well. You can set up your Gmail account to allow you to synchronize email across multiple machines using email clients instead of a browser.

Oh: you need to lower your Gmail security for Outlook 2013 as the latter isn’t up to par on security. For that, follow similar steps like in “the user name or password for imap.gmail is incorrect” – iPad, iPod or iPhone with iOS < 7.

Completely Uninstall Skype For Business (aka Lync) – Skype Community

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/05/05

I don’t need Skype (aka Lync) on all my VMs, for enough reasons (obnoxiously getting in the way even when not configured, downloading updates even though not used, taking up space, etc).

Removing it through appwiz.cpl is more than just a single step. The reason is that Skype can be part of Office and – despite the updates being called Skype – can be listed as the Lync component in Office.

So the removal is as follows:

  1. Run appwiz.cpl
  2. Select the Microsoft Office version you have installed
  3. Right click, then choose Change
  4. Choose “Add or Remove features” then “Continue”
  5. Choose the dropdown left of “Microsoft Lync” or “Microsoft Office”, then click “Not Available” and click “Continue”
  6. Wait for the removal to proceed, then click “Close”

Convert a text value into a date in Excel. Learn Microsoft Excel | Five Minute Lessons

Posted by jpluimers on 2017/01/09

To match dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy column values in columns C (Date1) and N (Date2), I used these formulas in row 2:

Meaning: Column: Formula: Explanation:
Date1Text I =TEXT(C2,”dd/mm/yyyy”) Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings
Date1Value J =DATE(RIGHT(I2,4),MID(I2,4,2),LEFT(I2,2)) Encode the date text to an actual date: dd#mm#yyyy format where # is any separator
DatesEqual K =J2=L2 Are the encoded dates equal?
Date2Value L =DATE(RIGHT(M2,4),LEFT(M2,2),MID(M2,4,2)) Encode the date text to an actual date: mm#dd#yyyy format where # is any separator
Date2Text M =TEXT(N2,”mm/dd/yyyy”) Interpret date text of the original text no matter the Excel settings

Deleting Horizontal Lines From Word

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/08/01

Oh man, why didn’t they make a line object out of this…

But if you realize it is a bottom border, then deleting is easy:

The answer is something of a trick, as the horizontal line is not a line (or a graphic), it’s a bottom border.

PowerPoint 2013: when Date, Slide Number or Footer don’t show – via: Academic Technology @ Palomar College

Posted by jpluimers on 2016/07/18

Coming from an Office pre 2000 background, I’m still amazed at how will things are hidden in modern Office versions.

Take the page numbers not showing on slides – Microsoft Community.

I bumped into that recently as well on a new blank presentation:

You see the placeholders at design time, but they don’t show up at presentation time.

The obvious action for me: Right click on each to see if there is anything about special formatting or hiding. It doesn’t work.

What does work is to:

  1. Go to the top of the Slide Masters
  2. Click the Ribbon
  3. Choose Insert
  4. Choose Text
  5. Choose Header & Footer
  6. Put a check marks for the place holders you want to be visible
