Latest Joomla 1.5 project

No Comments »

Now we have switched over to Joomla 1.5 for all the new projects. As an application, Joomla! 1.5 remarkably advances over Joomla! 1.0 in the areas of extensibility, usability and internationalization. Building extensions is vastly easier and faster because of the comprehensive new API. The simplified user interface eliminates unnecessary clicks and context changes for site administrators and managers.

Support for extended character sets, right to left languages, and translation of all static text in the front end and the administrator allows enhanced internationalization and worldwide use. New options for use of layout overrides and template parameters give designers total control over the look and feel of sites.

We have launched the dedicated ecommerce solution site for SSecom using Joomla 1.5. The site has come out nicely using the Rockettheme template. The site completely compliant with xHTML/css.

Enjoy….

How to convert docx to doc without Microsoft Word 2007

No Comments »

Microsoft has launched the word document with new extension ie docx in Office 2007 which is not compatible with the earlier versions. If you receive a Microsoft Word 2007 document ending with a .docx extension but you have no clue about how to open and print the file or convert from docx to .doc and other text formats, dont worry. I have penned down some very simple solutions on handling .docx file when you don’t have Microsoft Office Word 2007.

The .docx files, which are now the default file extension in Microsoft Word 2007, are essentially a bunch of zipped XML documents – you can even rename the file extension from .docx to .zip and then extract the file contents using Winzip or some other decompression tools.

In order to convert .docx documents to .doc format, just download the free Microsoft Office Compatibility Pack from here. This will help you open, print, edit and save .docx files in Office 2000, Office XP, or Office 2003.

There are some online tools which help in converting docx to doc file like:

The Word 2007 docx format is currently not supported by GMail Word viewer or Google Docs & Spreadsheets.
