Any file with a .docx file extension is a Microsoft Word document file. It has an Open XML Format. Microsoft uses DOCX files for nearly everything, including cover letters, resumes, reports, documentation, flyers, invitations, newsletters, and much more.
DOCX files usually contain text. But they can also include styles, objects, images, and rich formatting.
Microsoft has been using the DOCX format since Word 2007. Earlier versions of MS Word used the .doc file extension. It is easier to support the DOCX files, as they are XML-based, and their content is available as separate files. It might not seem obvious, but the final DOCX package is actually a ZIP-compressed compact file containing all the XML files of the document.
Whenever you use the Microsoft Word application, you either use files with the .doc or the .docx extensions. Microsoft Word is a part of the Microsoft Office suite. Microsoft used .doc as its solo file format up until the launch of MS Word version 2003. When they subsequently launched MS Word version 2007, Microsoft introduced the new file format, DOCX, which is their default file format up to now.
MS PowerPoint offers a slide sorter view with which to reorder your slides. You can drag and drop them into different sequences.
As you open a PowerPoint presentation, the left pane of the window holds the slides as thumbnails. To reorder them, you can drag the slides up and down in the left pane. But if you have many slides in your presentation, it is easier to use the slide sorter view to reorder them.
The slide sorter view is useful for:
Viewing all slides at once
Reordering slides
Breaking a presentation into sections
Modifying sections
We will show you how to use the slide sorter view to do all the above. We will use simple, step-by-step instructions.

If you are working on a spreadsheet and want to display the numbers as currency, you can do so with ease in MS Excel. There are three ways to format numbers as financial values, and display a currency symbol. We will walk you through these methods step-by-step, as it applies to Microsoft Excel 2016 and 2019.
3 Methods of Formatting Numbers as Currency in Microsoft Excel
When writing scientific articles, you must follow certain guidelines. A research journal mandates writing styles, formats, and guidelines.
The author must follow these when they submit an article for publication. This ensures the article conforms to the presentation quality characteristics of that journal. There are three general formatting guidelines — MLA, APA, and Chicago.
According to the APA formatting guidelines, authors must use a hanging indent. The first line of the reference citation paragraph must line up with the left margin. All other lines in the paragraph must have an indent of one-half inch from the left margin. This is the opposite of how we normally indent paragraphs.
In this presentation, we will attempt to answer the following questions:
What does a hanging indent look like?
When to use a hanging indent?
How many spaces is needed for a hanging indent?
What is the difference between First Line Indent and Hanging Indent?
While working in an MS Word document, you can press the Tab key on your keyboard to see how it works. It causes the cursor to advance to a position marked by what is called a ‘tab stop’. Word processors use tab stops to allow the user to align text the way they prefer.
In MS Word, the horizontal ruler which usually shows above your document will indicate where these tab stops are. On the ruler, a bold L marks the left tab stops that you may have defined. If you have defined right tab stops, the L would be in the backward direction.
A button on the extreme left side of the horizontal ruler in MS Word is called the Tab Selector. By clicking on this button repeatedly, the user can choose the type of tab stop they want to use.
With each click, you will cycle through the five options.
When aligning or positioning text, it is never a good practice to use the spacebar. This will cause formatting problems. Rather, you must use one of the alignment settings to position text. Alternatively, you can also use tab stops and the tab key.
Types of Tab Stops
MS Word positions a default tab stop at every 0.5 inches. Apart from this, it offers five options for introducing custom tab stops. These are:
Left — Aligns the left-side of the text with the tab stop;
Center — Aligns the text to center it under the tab stop;
Right — Aligns the right-side of the text with the tab stop;
Decimal — Aligns text and numbers by decimal points;
Bar — Inserts a vertical line character at the tab stop.
Creating a Tab Stop
You can create a custom tab stop in one of two methods:
Using the Tab Selector key and the Horizontal Ruler;
Using the Paragraphs menu.
Note that you must first select the text on which you want to apply the tab stops.
Below we will explain step-by-step how to apply these two methods, and will also share two methods you can use to remove tab stops.
Unfortunately, Google Calendar does not offer any method of directly exporting a calendar to MS Excel in CSV format. But Excel can open the iCal file from Google calendar just as easily. To start with, you must let Google calendar export the calendar in ICS format.
Once the ICS file is available, you have three ways of exporting it to Excel.
3 ways to Export Google Calendar ICS File to MS Excel
Open ICS file in Excel
Use MS Outlook to export to CSV format
Use an online application to export to CSV format
Please note the CSV format does not support repeat events.
You will also lose information on reminders, event time-zone data, attachments, invitations and so on.
