Customize the Default Settings of MS Office

This is somewhat difficult to write about. Delivering the message to the reader is somewhat complicated. New users of Microsoft Office may not get my point. But a regular  user of Microsoft Office must understand what I'm talking about.  What is Default Settings?  When you open up a new document in MS Word (Suppose Word 2010), you get the followings:  Paper Size: Letter (8.5*11) Orientation: Portrait Font: Calibiri Font Size: 11 Font Style: Regular Line Spacing: 1.15 After Spacing: 10 pt Margin: Normal (Top, Bottom, Left, Right: 1") And so many . . .  This is called the default settings Microsoft Word. The settings you get just after opening a program is called the default settings of that program. The developers try to use the most common settings as the default settings. So that most of the users don't need to change the settings frequently.  But the reality is quite fantastic! Every organization has its own meth

UniJoy Layout: Unicode Bengali Typing System

16th December! The Victory Day of Bangladesh.  Regular visitors of Marks PC Solution know that, we hardly celebrate any National or International day. But today I've a topic to write about! Though it is more relevant to the International Mother Language Day, I can't wait until 21st February. Today I am gonna talk about UniJoy Layout: Bengali Keyboard Input System.  Well you know this is not my first post about Bengali Typing. Earlier I've published posts about: Type Bengali with Avro Keyboard Rules for Bengali Typing in PDF (Bijoy Layout) Most of the people are now using Avro Keyboard to type Bangla in Unicode. Bijoy has also introduced Unicode Bangla typing system for few years. But it has failed to meet the users' demand. The first reason is that Bijoy demands money from the users. The second reason is it's inability to run smoothly.  Bijoy can't run well in Windows 7 or 8. Where Bijoy 2003 was excellent for Wind

How to Check the Performance of Antivirus?

It's been a long time since I discussed about PC security last time. Because I've talked about MSE and Windows Defender . If you use any of the two in your PC, I believe you don't need any other security tools to protect your PC. But if you use any third party security tools or if you've any doubt about your current security software, you can check its performance by a sample virus !  Windows users often purchase security software ie. Norton, Kaspersky, Bit Defender etc. Many of them use trial versions to protect the system. But how much safe you are? Are these tools really working for you? Can these tools detect viruses or worms?

How to Create Transparent Image by Photoshop?

I'm really sorry for the long break in writing. I published the last post few weeks ago. Because there were weeks but no weekends. Due to the serious political crisis in Bangladesh, Banking Sector and business activities were down. And Govt. was trying to recover the loss through continuous banking. And I had to attend the office every day. In this week, bankers got weekend finally. And I'm gonna publish a new post.  This is an exclusive post for this site. I've never published any tips on Adobe Photoshop. This is the first time I'm writing about Photoshop. Today I will discuss about creating transparent image. You know transparent image has no background color. It looks very smart when transparency is used with any design or logo. A logo with a white background is not as fine as transparent logo. If you use transparency, only the image or logo will be displayed. There will be no background of that image. If you place the logo in a black color, backgro
