How to : Edit Background Graphics in Powerpoint?

Problem:
You have an PPT file from an older version of MS Office that opens in Office 2007. There are images on the master slide that seem to be not  editable. But you can hide them by selecting on “Hide Background graphics”. How do you edit whatever graphics that are controlled by the Background Graphics button?

Solution:
Go to view, slide master then make sure you select the first slide in the list on the left. When you are on that first slide you can select and edit these types of background items.

How to : Access Yahoo Mail through Outlook?

Yahoo! old timers who can recollect the good old days when email was accessible through a client program can now feel happy again.

I was at one point in time paying Yahoo! to have POP access after they suddenly decided to withdraw the POP access to users that don’t pay.

According to this article, Yahoo!  has restored pop access, at least to a part of users in Singapore, Hongkong, India and UK.

When I tried to configure Outlook 2007 to POP my yahoo account, it worked.

To make it work for me, I had to configure my Profile to Yahoo! Asia.

When Outlook 2007 configured the account for the first time, it detected the following settings:

Incoming mail server settings
* POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 110

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings
* SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Port: 25
* Use authentication

These settings worked flawlessly. However, I decided to use SSL even though it would a bit slower and manually corrected the setting as follows:

Incoming mail server settings
* POP server: pop.mail.yahoo.com
* Use SSL
* Port: 995

Outgoing mail server (SMTP) settings
* SMTP server: smtp.mail.yahoo.com
* Use SSL
* Port: 465
* Use authentication

Everything is working fine. Thank you, Yahoo! for not making me cough up $20 for POP access this year. I wouldn’t have paid any way.

I just though I should write it down, in case there is some one else looking for instructions.
