Tip 003 : CTRL + S (Yes, It’s Free!)
People who create a lot of documents have experienced closing program wrong or that a program did not respond anymore which resulted in loss of the data of the document till your last saving point.
You will are looking puzzled why the automatic save option in Word or Excel this time didn’t do a thing or your document is even lost and you cannot find it anymore.
You can save yourself for this kind of situations by learning yourself a good habit. Every now and than (after some minutes) you use the following keyboard combination : CTRL + S.
In most Windows programs CTRL + S (hold at same time) means that you save the current document.
If you learn yourself this habit you are experiencing less surprises if you by accident close a program. You only can loose some minutes of work. I use it often. Make it a habit. You can react more relax when experiencing a spontaneous reboot (if this happen often please search an expert and not your nephew or neighboor) or a program that does not respond anymore.
CTRL + S !

How to re-activate Office 2010 Technical Preview
Several people who installed the Technical Preview of Microsoft Office 2010 noticed after 30 days activation will not succeed. This is related to the fact the activation servers of Office 2010 not yet are published via DNS, simply explained to the fact they don’t exist yet. How you can re-activate for another 30 days? I give you a brief procedure how to do it :
First you have to stop the service : Office Software Protection
Then run x:\Windows\System32\OSPPRUN.exe (x can be your C: or other driveletter you have installed windows on)
You will have a prompt.
Enter these command followed by an enter like shown below, go to next step
>Initialize (enter)
>Open (enter)
>GetInstalledSkuIds (enter)
0. 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (deze is het ID van Office 2010)
1. 26adec89-edf3-4adc-a3fc-c865f1a9f71f
OK.
> GetInstalledAppIds 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (enter)
0. 59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663
OK.
(You will get something that looks like this)
> GetLicensingStatus 59a52881-a989-479d-af46-f275c6370663 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a (enter)
SkuId = 128a057a-7e95-4063-b296-c54c5f3d3f3a
eStatus = SL_LICENSING_STATUS_IN_GRACE_PERIOD
dwGraceTime = 1D 23:37
dwTotalGraceDays = 30 days
hrReason = 4004F00C
qwExpiration = 2010/10/31
OK.
(What you are now going to do is set AppID and SkuID for Office 2010 to enable again 30 days before activation. That gives you another 30 days to test. Mostly the IDs are the same, if not please copy and use yours
