Word tracking changesAnyone who needs to collaborate with others when writing a document, for example for reviewing or editing purposes, has wanted to compare two Word files at one point or another. While the Track Changes feature is handy, I find that people tend to avoid using it because they have to turn it on when they are making significant changes and off when doing anything else (lest all their actions are recorded in giant panels that appear on the side). Other times people just forget.

To tackle this issue, the CodeJacked weblog has a guide on comparing two Word documents. The methods covered range from using built-in functionality within Microsoft Word to using a command-line (gasp!) tool.

Mainly a Job Description vs Resume-Cover Letter

After I initially commented I clicked the -Notify me when new feedback are added- checkbox and now each time a comment is added I get four emails with the identical comment. Is there any means you’ll be able to take away me from that service? Thanks!

Your site is really interesting to me and your subject matter is very relevant. I was browsing around and came across something you might find interesting. I was guilty of 3 of them with my sites. “99% of website managers are committing these 5 errors”. http://is.gd/jhKkC5 You will be suprised how simple they are to fix.

Hey, mind if I bend your ear a bit? I have something important that you might like :-) My buddies and I (we’re from Florida) have been watching this blog for a while and we really like it so we decided to share something with you that’s been working for our websites. I’m not sure if you knew this, but building an email list is HUGE. You can increase your visitors, and if you monitize them correctly, they can be a serious gold mine. There is a lot I would love to talk to you about that you can do to increase your revenue here. However, I won’t do it justice. Just go here instead: http://www.make1150weekly.info/ and check out what these crazy guys are doing. Personally, I have revamped all of my sites (didn’t take much time at all) and I’m making a steady $200-$400 DAILY, swear on my mother I made $274 yesterday from blogs. Amazing huh? Just a couple weeks ago, I was happy scraping by with 6 bucks a day on adsense heh. Check it out, really. You’ll be doing yourself a huge favor.
