Ninite installers always install the latest versions of apps regardless of when they were created. This means that after you install some apps with Ninite you can keep the installer .exe around and run it again every now and then to keep those apps updated.

Ninite checks app versions before downloading and installing software. So if you already have the latest version Ninite will just keep moving down your list of apps.

How Ninite Works

Ninite tries to behave exactly like a technical friend you’ve asked to install a few apps for you. This means that Ninite installers, regardless of when or where they were created:

• Say “No” to toolbars or other junk
• Always install the latest version of an app
• Install the right 32-bit or 64-bit version for a PC
• Install apps in the PC’s language
• Skip apps that are already up-to-date
• Upgrade an app if it’s out of date

They’ve put a ton of effort into making sure Ninite just does the right thing and that’s the big reason why people like using it so much.

Without running any post publishing macros, the Word document that is generated will be using linked images. So every time you need to distribute the document you’ll also need to remember to include the images as well.

I frequently forget this, hence why I’m posting this, so, if all else fails, I can at least search my own blog to find the solution. If you look at a document with linked images, you’ll see that the file size for the document is quite small, and there will be a number of images in the same folder (although this works fine if your images are linked from another folder).

UPDATE: You can also do this automatically after publishing using an afterPublish Word macro, the Author-it Knowledge Centre has the details, thanks to Derek Tomes for pointing it out. Read on for the manual method.

You can quickly and easily convert linked images to embedded images in Word 2007. Here’s how:

1. With your Word document open, click the Office button*, top-left of the window.
2. Select Prepare > Edit Links to Files.
3. Select and highlight the images you want to convert from the list.
4. Select the option to Save picture in document.
5. Click the Break Link button.
6. Click Yes to confirm.

The links are removed, and the images are now embedded in your Word document. A quick check of the filesize of the Word document should show a marked increase and you can now distribute the Word document, and the Word document only, safe in the knowledge that the images are embedded.

Hopefully it will now be live and kicking for a long time (fingers crossed). However, it could have been worse – just look at what happened with the “Playstation servers” …

Asked about potential “Avatar” sequels, chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch said on his quarterly earnings call Tuesday that the conglomerate is in “very early talks about it.” Director James Cameron “has ideas” for a sequel, he said, adding: “We will be pushing for one.”

But he cautioned analysts not to “hold your breath for an early one” in a possible reference to Cameron projects often taking a long time to come to fruition.

News Corp. deputy chairman, president and COO Chase Carey interjected that both sides want to make another movie. “We certainly both intend to have one,” he said.

The executives said financing of a sequel like of any movies these days would be key as News Corp. likes to lay off risk, especially since Cameron films tend to go over budget. But given the success of “Avatar,” financing details could come together.
