			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/microsoft_excel.jpg" alt="microsoft excel" title="microsoft excel" width="128" height="106" class="alignleft size-full wp-image-16347" />Spaces are usually not a problem in Microsoft Excel. They usually occur when importing data from another source and are either located at the beginning or end of the data. These spaces can become a huge problem for users who have to process the data further as spaces can pollute the results.</p>
<p>The Trim Spaces add-in for Microsoft Excel has been designed to clean spaces from data that is located in an Microsoft Excel file. To be more precise: The Excel add-in will remove trailing or leading spaces in the data and leave the other spaces in their places.</p>
<p><span id="more-16319"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/microsoft_excel_trim-spaces.png" alt="microsoft excel trim spaces" title="microsoft excel trim spaces" width="404" height="197" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-16320" /></p>
<p>All it takes to remove spaces from Excel cells is to select the cells that should be processed by the add-in and to click on the run button afterwards. This will automatically process all select cells and remove leading and trailing spaces from these cells. A report is generated in the end that is listing the number of processed cells and the cells that have been trimmed.</p>

<p>The <a href="http://www.ablebits.com/excel-trim-spaces/index.php">Trim Spaces</a> add-in for Microsoft Excel is compatible with the last four major released of Microsoft Excel (that is Excel 2007, Excel 2003, Excel XP (2002) and Excel 2000).</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Excel Autobackup is an Microsoft Excel add-in which adds automatic backup capabilities to Excel. The default autosave in Excel is overwriting previous versions of the spreadsheet without asking the user if that is what he wants.</p>
<p>The Excel add-in provides automatic backups of Excel spreadsheets. The interval of each automatic backup, the destination folder, the days the backups will be kept and the maximum number of backups can be defined when the add-in is loaded and activated in Microsoft Excel.</p>
<p>The <a href="http://filzef.googlepages.com/home2">Excel Autobackup</a> add-in has to be activated before it can be used. To do that a user would have to click on the Office ribbon and select Excel Options at the bottom of the menu. There he would click on the Add-ins menu entry on the left side and the button Go at the bottom the the add-ins menu once it is displayed.</p>
<p><span id="more-6727"></span>This opens a list of available add-ins and a browse button among others on the right side. The user would then click on Browse and select the autobackup.xla file on the computer&#8217;s hard drive. This loads and activates the plugin. After clicking OK in the menu the previously described settings can be changed and the add-in will start to automatically backup Excel spreadsheets right away.</p>
<p>The backup will be named after the original filename with an additional number to differentiate the backups. </p>
