Why do some Email Messages have the Letter 'J' in them?

Why do emails have 'J' in them?You may have received email messages in the past that have the capital letter 'J' in them (see above screenshot). The letter mostly appears at the end of a paragraph but sometimes you may also also find this 'J' in the middle of a sentence. →What is the email sender trying to convey by adding the single letter 'J' to the message? Is it an abbreviation or an Internet slang that you not aware of?I looked at the HTML source of one such email message and instantly got the answer:
<p class=3DMsoNormal>
<span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";>Thanks so much</span>
<span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;'>J</span>
</p>
It turns out that the email was composed and send from Microsoft Outlook. In Outlook, if you add a smiley figure – something like :) or :-) – to your message, the email program automatically converts it into a smiley icon using the Wingdings font.The Wingding fonts is installed on all Windows PCs but isn't available on mobile devices. Hence, if you read that Outlook message on an Android phone or your iPad, the smiley icon is displayed as the capital letter J, which happens to be its Unicode equivalent (0x4A).Also see: Outlook ruins Birthday CakeThe character code of J is the same as Wingdings' smiley icon This story, Why do some Email Messages have the Letter 'J' in them?, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 08/10/2012 under Microsoft Outlook, Internet.

Easily Add a Logo to your YouTube Videos

Would you like to add some branding to your YouTube videos? Maybe an overlay logo or some sort of a watermark image that is permanently displayed in one of the corners of the video (similar to TV programming). →You can use any video editing software to add logos or watermarks to your videos before uploading them to YouTube but how do you put them in your existing videos that are already on the web?Well, YouTube has recently added a new feature called InVideo Programming that will help you add any custom image to all your Youtube videos with a few clicks without having to edit the original video.Put a logo inside your YouTube VideosThe image can be your brand's logo (make sure it's a transparent png) or use one of these YouTube buttons to promote your main YouTube channel inside all your videos.You can choose to display the logo at the start of the video, somewhere in the middle or even for the entire duration of the video. Also, the logo can be placed in either corners of the YouTube player.That said, YouTube internally uses annotations to display the images over the video and thus, if you a YouTube viewer has turned off annotations, your logo won't be visible.Thanks Ashish Mohta for the tip.

Google Docs has recently dropped support for older Office file formats (.doc, .xls and .ppt) in favor of the newer file formats like docx, .xlsx and .pptx. →You can still import your old .doc documents or .ppt presentations into Google Docs but if you are to export any of these files out of Google Docs, you'll have to choose the new {doc|ppt|xls}x formats that are natively supported in Office 2007 and later.Google Docs still supports the old Microsoft Office file formatsDownload Google Docs in Old Office FormatsThe newer file formats are definitely better but if some of your clients are still running the older versions of Microsoft Office, here's how you can make your Google Docs documents compatible with their version of Office.Option 1: Ask them to install the Office Compatibility Pack. This pack will allow users of Office XP and Office 2003 to open and edit files that are saved in the new Office formats.Option 2: Save the files out of Google Docs as docx and then use any of the online conversion tools (for example, Zamzar) to convert these files back to the old format.Option 3: Abhishek discovered a better solution. You can email any document, spreadsheet or presentation from Google Docs to yourself as an email attachment and Google will send you that file in the old Office formats (see screenshot).To email a document from Google Docs, go to File -> Email as Attachment and then choose the appropriate format from the dropdown.Bonus Tip: You can change the extension of a .docx file to .zip and it can then be viewed inside any web browser without even requiring Microsoft Office or Google Docs.
