MS Excel 2010 Custom Colors

Create custom colors and apply them to charts and everything else with Excel 2010


Excel 2010 Custom Colors

My company has just switched from Microsoft Office 2003 to MS Office 2010, and to my surprise, almost everything in the main menu of MS Excel was changed in 2010 version. That makes everything seem harder and more importantly makes my other post MS Excel 2003 Custom Colors outdated although it’s still valid and useful for those who are still using MS Excel 2003.

Here’s the update for MS Excel 2010:
Excel 2010 provides a bunch of built-in color palettes, but you can also create a custom palette from scratch and then apply your new color scheme to charts, tables or whatever automatically. The process only take minutes but would save you lots of time later on, and it’s one of the things that possibly makes Excel 2010 more… bearable.

Funny Marketing Idea – Funny Commercial 2

Haven’t seen the first post “Fight for Kisses”? Check it out first!

Here’s more to inspire you to generate more funny marketing ideas.
When it comes to commercials, people often say “sex sells.” Well, I’m not sure how much sex helps boosting sales, but it’s surely being used a lot in commercials especially for beer as the one below.

Funny, unexpected idea / story line plus beautiful woman is really a good combination for a memorable [thus successful] commercial for beer.



Don’t speak the language. It’s ok…

Create HTML Email In Outlook

Step-by-step guide on how to create HTML email in Outlook 2003
Updated for MS Outlook 2007

MS Outlook icon

Already know about the good, the bad, and the ugly of HTML email through the post about HTML email overview, let’s start creating an HTML email in Outlook 2003 or 2007.

Quick notes about Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007: the process below is the same for both Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007. The difference between these two versions of Outlook is not in the process of creating and sending HTML email but in the built-in HTML email readers. Thus, there may be a bit difference if you create HTML for Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007, but there won’t be any difference if you create HTML in or with Outlook 2003 and Outlook 2007.
