HEX 2 RGB PowerPoint Addin


Finally here is the missing function from the PowerPoint: HEX Fill addon. This PowerPoint addin allows users to fill shapes with HEX color values. This free add-in works with PowerPoint 2007, 2010 and 2013.

I am a power user of PowerPoint and use it for handling most of the tasks.  Ranging from creating presentations to editing images, from story boarding to designing interfaces, from creating stencils to designing logos. Sometimes its such a pain to set individual RED, GREEN, and BLUE values for a single color you found in Adobe Color CC or a swatch from Colourlovers.

That's why I have created this addin, which allows users to put in Hex color values for shapes. It is easily accessible from the format menu and just require the hex color value you want to set for the shape color. So go ahead and download it for Free!

Download



Installation

(Make sure all Office programs(Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook etc.) are closed before running the installer.)
1. Just double click on the file 'HEX2RGB_PowerPoint_Addin.exe' which runs the installer.

2. Click 'Yes' on the waring message:
 

If you do not get this warning message and Keys.reg file opens in notepad. Then save that file as Keys.reg file on your PC. Make sure you change the Save as Type to All Files.

Then navigated to the save file, right click and select 'Open with > Registry Editor


3. All Done! Congratulations!

Usage

1. Select any shape on the slide for which you want to change color. And then click 'HEX Fill' in the ribbon.
 

2. Enter the HEX value in the pop up box. and Press OK to set the color of the selected shape/shapes.
 

TIP: Adding a # sign before HEX value is not a requirement!

Adding .cer certificates on your Android Phone

Wow, what a title! Well actually that's not possible. The only reason I used this title is - in this tutorial we will be using .cer certificate and will be converting it to .pfx certificate which will then be used on our phone. (Experience free call to US and Canada visit How to use Gmail Call features outside US ) I have gone through a lot of pages saying that certificates problem with Android OS, how to use WPA2 Enterprise secured network on Android, how to add .cer files to android and many more. I have found solutions to some problems somewhere on the internet, but didn't found all the related information at a single place. So I thought of writing this blog entry dedicated to adding certificates for WPA2 Enterprise secured network. Please note that I have a HTC Hero (GSM) which is having Android OS 1.5 (Yes I resisted myself from rooting it with 2.1, but the official update is coming soon). I will update this entry when I’ll get my hands on Android 2.1 UPDATE: For in
