The Benefits Of Microsoft Word 2007’s Show/Hide Feature

Sometimes, when you examine a document which was created by someone else, you are at a loss as to which characters they have used to format the document. If they are not experienced in using programs like Microsoft Word, they may be prone to common errors; things like using the space bar instead of the tab key and entering two spaces after a full stop. Microsoft Word’s Show/Hide feature displays symbols representing these invisible characters. This can help you not only to find out what characters someone else has used within a document but also to spot errors in your own work.

Mastering The Essentials Of XML Schema

XML schema definition languages are founded on recommendations laid down by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C). They use XML 1.0 syntax and aim to explicit describe the structure of XML documents and constrain the data which they may contain. They offer a distinct improvement on the more limited schema features offered by the Document Type Definition (DTD) recommendation which formed part of the original XML specification released in 1998. The most widely used schema language is the one defined by the W3C in 2001: W3C XML Schema. However, there are alternatives, such as RELAX NG and Schematron.
