Mircosoft Word file sizes matter most when you need to share a Word document with others through email or WhatsApp. With a big file size, you can run into a problem when sending a document over emails, such as a challenge with internet speed or a restriction of 25MB from Microsoft Outlook or Gmail. Meanwhile, your recipients could run into issues when opening a sizable doc on their mobile devices.
Here are a few simple ways to reduce the size of a Word document to make it less bulky and more shareable.
Starting with Word 2007, documents now save in DOCX format instead of DOC. The only reason to use DOC is if you need backward compatibility with ancient word processing apps.
One of DOCX's benefits is far smaller file sizes. A document that's a few megabytes in DOC form would take up just a few hundred kilobytes as a DOCX.
When you save your Word documents, make sure to choose the DOCX format. If you're already working with a DOC file, open the File tab in Word and select Convert on the Info tab. You'll need to accept a prompt and provide a new file name.
Before you insert an image into a Word document, it is optionally to perform some edits using any image editor software. If you edit inside Word, it will retain the original version and waste space.
You should also use the Insert > Picture menu to add an image from your computer in a space-friendly format, like JPG, instead of pasting it in. When you paste, Word adds the image as a PNG or BMP, which both take up a lot of space.
Finally, on the Save As menu, you can select Tools > Compress Pictures and select a Resolution or E-mail for all of them. Depending on the document, you may be able to get away with lower-quality images to save more space.
Yes I read this news on Facebook from Prof. Ndubuisi Ekekwe about this new development, I was excited and happy that Nigeria will experience a new level of growth in all sectors just like Telco/GSM brought in 1999.

Some time last week my colleague laptop had this error while trying to run or open Microsoft office 365 applications (Word, Excel, Outlook)
I carried out below steps to resolve the problem.
1. Go to control panel to uninstall existing office 365 application.
2. Restart the Windows after a successful uninstallation
3. Reinstall Microsoft Office 365 from installation media or download setup.
Alternatively online repair would have suffice but I recommend clean installation
see suggestion below
The instructions to follow to do this are here:

Non Fungible tokens, Blockchain technology, Smart Contracts e.t.c are non governmental non-influenced but decentralized computer executed features and approaches deployed in cryptocurrency, that makes it a preferred Currency when compared with FIAT ( normal bank notes )
What is spent there is called coins or crypto coins.
It has volatile and stable coins.
It's built mostly on Blockchain technology making it impossible for anyone to seize your money 🤑💰 fold up or freeze your fund.
Crypto is the new asset storage system.
Call it the borderless Bank, you will not be wrong.
It gives you opportunity to interact with any currency of choice, reduces FX frictions.
Like you already know - it was crypto that made end SARS a reality when the account of the organizers were closed, hence why "government" perceived it as means to funding terror negating it's huge opportunity in curbing corruption. Though it has made conscious effort to provide e-naira currently trading on crypto platforms.
There are so many ways to make money in crypto.
Of course as a business mind, with the understanding that you need to take calculated risk and invest wisely, your first caution is to know the risk limit of each earning stream.
Beginners often use it to earn residual, for a start: mining, depositing from hourly interest and staking for rewards as new investments are launched into the exchange market, and for trading.
For safety sake I use BINANCE and Blockchain.com.

Before we get into the nitty-gritty of NFTs, you need to understand the blockchain. Since its conceptual introduction in 2008 by Satoshi Nakamoto, the blockchain has perplexed the world. This decentralized ledger uses cryptography to permanently string together blocks of data.
Blockchain is the technology that powers Bitcoin, Ethereum, and every other cryptocurrency in the world. It leveraged this decentralized public ledger to solve a theoretical riddle for digital currencies, the “double-spend” problem.
Cryptocurrencies are what’s known as fungible tokens. Much like with two separate dollar bills, there’s no difference between one Bitcoin and another. They’re completely identical in every way. Cryptocurrencies aren’t the only thing that blockchains are capable of, though.
Non-fungible tokens exist at the opposite end of the spectrum. Like cryptocurrencies, they’re cryptographic tokens registered on a specific blockchain. However, they’re each entirely unique (and therefore, not mutually interchangeable) — like serialized collectibles of the digital world.
There are multiple types of NFTs out there. Digital art can be registered on a blockchain, for example, as a way to certify authenticity and ownership. The result would be digital art NFTs that represent ownership of original, authentic artworks.
Understanding Blockchain Domains
Computers connected to the internet have an IP address. These unique addresses allow individual devices to be identified on networks. However, they’re long and hard to remember. For example, Google.com’s IP address is 172.217.10.14. Not particularly memorable, is it?
Domain names provide an easier alternative. Instead of typing “172.217.10.14” in your browser’s address bar, you simply type “Google.com” and hit enter. Your browser automatically figures out that the website “Google.com” is hosted at the aforementioned IP address.
For that to happen, domain names need to be registered in the Domain Name System. DNS servers are spread all over the world, and help browsers resolve domain names to IP addresses. Internet service providers then connect users to the appropriate IP address.
The DNS network is administered by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). They oversee the development and architecture of the overall system at the top level. Up until recently, ICANN and DNS were the only methods to obtain a working domain name.
This has a number of practical applications. While DNS servers are spread all over the world, the system itself is centralized and controlled by ICANN. It’s therefore possible for ICANN to censor individuals, or cooperate with authorities to achieve the same result.
In contrast, blockchain domain names are permanently etched into a public registry. They can’t be purged, modified, or censored by any third parties. As such, they provide an avenue for websites to fight back against censorship, effectively protecting freedom of speech.
Accessing blockchain domain names has historically required special software but is becoming easier to access. Users of popular browsers like Chrome or Firefox can now resolve blockchain domains directly through their browser with one small DNS change.
Another feature of blockchain domain names is that they can link to cryptocurrency wallets instead of websites. Asking for payments via “yourname.crypto” is more convenient and easier to remember than “1NVWiyvVLAuCoxzQ6Ujy4UDpkgRwe8VPwW.”
Enter blockchain domain non-fungible tokens (NFTs). They combine the easy trading of NFTs with customizable domain names built on blockchain. In the past few months, they’ve also seen a sudden rise in consumer and investor interest — for several reasons.
Companies such as Unstoppable Domains and protocols like Namecoin allow users to purchase blockchain domains, and even entire domain namespaces. The latter allows users to rent or sell individual domain NFTs down the road.
For example, the owner of “.crypto” domains on a specific blockchain protocol can rent or sell individual “name.crypto” domains. This can pose a unique opportunity for early investors. Some, like Mark Cuban, are already looking towards this new, booming market.
Cuban has already launched several lines of collectibles, figurines, and digital art powered by NFTs. Still, he believes that these novelties are mere proofs-of-concept. “The real growth comes when corporate [intellectual property] goes [to NFTs],” tweeted Cuban in late February 2021.
