Usually your scanner does not create a big multi-page PDF file for all of your scanned documents. It rather creates a single PDF file for each of the scanned documents.

Everytime I open LibreOffice Writer to compose a new document, it creates a new document with the Letter size page. So I have to change the page size to A4 everytime, because my printer supports only the A4 sheet size. This is very annoying as I have to do this multiple times everyday. Then I found out that I could easily set the default page size in LibreOffice Writer through the default template.

When someone says mixed tape, it takes me back to 90s when these kind of tapes were very popular. People spent hours recording songs on their tape recorder from sources like radio or other cassette tapes and put a lot of effort in the mixed tapes.

All you need is a collection of MP3 songs, a blank CD and the Random MixTape Maker software.

Many of the websites offer you to download forms, brochures and booklets in the PDF formats. But the problem is that most of us cannot edit PDF files as the PDF editor programs are very expensive. What we can do is convert the PDF files into editable Doc or Docx files and then edit them using Microsoft Word or Libre Office. The freeware program PDFMate PDF Converter allows you to convert PDF files into many formats including Doc, Docx, HTML, text, SWF, Epub and more.

If you contact the customer support for some software, the first thing they ask is what kind of computer you are running, your installed Windows version, your system memory etc. All this information is hidden in deeply buried settings in the Control Panel.

Many of the popular editors like Notepad++, LibreOffice and Microsoft Word all have a feature to change the text case if required. But you do not always use these tools to edit documents.

It can change the case of text to uppercase, lowercase, sentence case and toggle case.
