Firefox | Selecting Cells or Columns in Table

If you are interested in selecting individual cells or a column from a table on a website, Firefox provides a quick way to do that... Just CTRL+Click the cells or column to select the data required. Saved me lot of time when I was collecting data for my project :)

Create Table of Contents in Visio

For a project of ours, we were creating visio files with many flowcharts in it. One feature we found missing was to create Table of Contents. So I searched online for a macro to do that for me and I found one here http://www.welie.com/visio/index.php. I modified it a little bit so that it works top down and creates ToC in FIRST page. The updated macro can be downloaded from here http://sites.google.com/site/davendraupreti/uploads/Hyperlinked_ToC_macro.vss.
When executed, the macro...
  1. Deletes any exisiting content
  2. Creates ToC headers
  3. Creates ToC Content with page number
  4. Copies the ToC Content to clipboard, in case you want to copy it in a mail and send it to PM :)
This is how the ToC looks like
If you want, you can customise the macro to suit your needs. Please feel free to comment if you find any bugs :)
