A report from IBM Smarter Commerce Survey issued on Saturday that  indicated, double digit increases in online sales Thanksgiving Day (up 39.3% from 2010) and Black Friday (up 24.3%) and a 200% increase in purchases made on mobile devices (from 3.2% in 2010 to 9.8% this year).

Below are some figures quoted from the survey:

• The Apple Shopper: Mobile shopping was led by Apple, with the iPhone and iPad ranking one and two for consumers shopping on mobile devices (5.4 percent and 4.8 percent respectively). Android came in third at 4.1 percent. Collectively iPhone and iPad accounted for 10.2 percent of all online retail traffic on Black Friday.
• The iPad Factor: Shoppers using the iPad led to more retail purchases more often per visit than other mobile devices with conversion rates reaching 4.6 percent compared to 2.8 percent for overall mobile devices.
• Surgical Shopping Goes Mobile: Mobile shoppers demonstrated a laser focus that surpassed that of other online shoppers with a 41.3 percent bounce rate on mobile devices versus online shopping rates of 33.1 percent.
• The Social Influence: Shoppers referred from Social Networks generated 0.53 percent of all online sales on Black Friday. Facebook led the pack, accounting for 75 percent of all traffic from social networks.

The relatively weak showing by devices running Google’s Android, despite a market share that dwarf’s Apple’s iOS, is consistent with earlier studies that found Android users spending less time online and far less money on apps.

Why would people want to convert Word to PowerPoint? Well, maybe you only have a few minutes to dash off some topic headings and a few jot notes. By quickly writing these notes in a Word document, you have just created a presentation outline. Then, with a just a few clicks this outline will be converted to a PowerPoint presentation.

Before we start to send Word to PowerPoint, we need to bring up the Styles and Formatting task pane from Microsoft Office Word firstly as below steps:

click Format > Styles and Formatting. Now here’s how PowerPoint picks up the formatting from Word:

Text that are formatted with Heading 1 will be converted to Title text in PowerPoint.
Text that are formatted with Heading 2 will be converted to primary bullet.
Text that are formatted with Heading 3 will be converted to sub-bullet (2nd level bullet), Heading 4 will be converted to 3rd level bullet, so on and so forth.
Repeat the steps above to start on with the next slide.

After setting Word Styles and Formatting, you can convert Word to PowerPoint now. There are two ways to send Word outline to PowerPoint presentation.

As I am using Office 2007, so, this tutorial is for Office 2007 users. And Word 2007 doesn’t not allow you to convert Word to PowerPoint by default.

Here are two solutions:

A. after writing is done in Word 2007, save it as a Word document > open PowerPoint 2007 > click on the Office Button at the top left hand corner > click Open and select All Outlines under Files of type > select the Word document saved before and click Open.

B. right click on the ribbon > select Customize Quick Access Toolbar > Choose More Commands and then All Commands > look for “Send to Microsoft Office PowerPoint” > click “Add” and then “OK.” > click the button now added to the QAT.

One thing to take note though. Text with unformatted style will not be sent to PowerPoint in this case. In addition, objects such as tables, diagrams, pictures, autoshapes and etc, cannot be sent to PowerPoint from Word document.

And if want to preserve tables and images from Word to PowerPoint, maybe you can follow this way.

Step1, save the Word document to PDF format with a PDF creator;

Step2, convert PDF to PowerPoint with a PDF to PowerPoint converter.

It’s a bit trouble, but efficient to convert Word to PowerPoint with better preservation anyway.

If you meet some cases to convert a PowerPoint presentation to a Word document with thumbnail, you could read this article: how to convert PowrePoint to Word.

PDF Creator

If you have tried to search these keywords ‘pdf creator’, you’ll see that it’s really a long list in the findings in Google, free, online or paid, so many PDF creators are developed for you to create PDF. Below are some ones I have tried and think they really do a good job to create PDF.

Word2PDF is an online Word to PDF Converter. It’s totally free to use this online service when you need to convert Word to PDF.

Disadvantage: It’s a pity that Word2PDF only supports to convert Word to PDF, no Excel to PDF or PowerPoint to PDF.

Microsoft Add-in is a free add-on developed by Microsoft to help Office users to save Office to PDF, If you are using Microsoft Office 2007 or above, you can download and install Microsoft Office Add-in.

Disadvantage: Only supports Office 2007 and later version, not for Office 2003 or former office version.

Simpo PDF Creator Lite is a comprehensive free PDF creator, it not only supports to convert office files to PDF, but also images to PDF and html to PDF.

Simpo PDF Creator Pro is the pro version of Simpo PDF Creator Lite, it provides more features, for example, you can not only create PDF from office and images, you can even combine mulitple files into one PDF with it.

PDF Converter

There are as many PDF converters on the internet as PDF creators, so, it’s not easy to get a good one. After trying one by one, I pick up some of them to fulfill kinds of needs.

Google Docs is developed by Google to allow users to convert PDF online. If you have a free Google Account, you can easily convert PDF to Word and RTF with Google Docs.

Disadvantage: not free, costs $59.95

If you want to convert scanned PDF, the normal PDF converters can’t do this and you need an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) software to make scanned PDF to editable file format.

OCR Converter

Online OCR: It can extract text from image (JPG, BMP, TIFF, GIF) and convert into editable Word, Text, Excel, PDF, Html output formats. Max file size is 4MB.

However, most OCR can’t recognize all characters in PDF well, anyway, you can find more in this article - top 5 free OCR software tools.

Many reports indicate that Apple will finally unveiling their newly renovated 5th Avenue Apple NYC store – the Glass Cube on Friday, November 4th. For preparing, Apple will temporarily close its flagship Fifth Ave retail store in New York on Thursday evening.

Apple began work on the $6.6 million renovation back in June. Since then, the 5th Avenue Store has been surrounded by barriers and the store has remained open as the construction has continued. The redesign involves replacing the cube’s 90 glass panels with only 15 larger ones. The new design is rendered artistically above.

In September, the company began slowly removing the temporary structure surrounding the cube. Workers began taking off the white covering along the bottom section of the cube on Thursday in preparation for the unveiling.

The store opened in May 2006 and has since become a popular destination for tourists.

A November 4th unveiling falls in line with the original permits which estimated “early November” as a possible completion date. If the grand unveiling is indeed taking place this Friday, we expect Apple will make an announcement this week to inform the press.
