  Introduction: There could be instances when we might decide to use an image as the background instead of the default background color for some specific screens in the Android app we are developing. With the combination of Jetpack Compose and Kotlin programming language in Android Studio, this can be easily achieved. One of the ways to achieve this is to make use of Box layout composable and add the background image as the first element in the Box layout. Box layout makes elements or items placed in it to be stacked on each other; so, every other element will be placed on the first element (which will be a background image in our own case). After adding the Image composable, we can add another layout such as Column or Row or even another Box that will contain the other items (such as Text composable, Button composable, and so on) that should be on the background of the app screen. Demonstration: In this demo, we will be adding a JPEG image named “demo_bg” as our background...

      Introduction: Table of Contents (TOC) could be added to your word document either manually or automatically. However, the automatic method is more efficient and recommended, especially when your document has many pages, as it makes the update of the TOC easier. To make use of this method, some initial setups need to be done in your document. It is essential to note that we will be working with a 5-page document named “Sample” in this exercise. The first page in our sample document will be the title page; second page will be for Table of Contents; third page will be for Introduction; fourth page will be for the main body; and the fifth page will be for Conclusion. Initial Setup for enabling automatic TOC: At this setup stage, we will have to modify the style of Heading 1 (which we will be using as our main heading style). Note that if you have subheadings which you also plan to add to TOC in your document, then, you can modify the style of Heading 2 as well...

    Introduction: According to the standard in preparing documents in most institutions or organizations, it is usually expected that the page number should not appear on the first or title page of a document. Hence, different methods of ensuring that the page number becomes hidden on the first page have been tried. In this article, we will consider a simple and efficient method. Any time you insert page numbers in your Microsoft Word document, the page numbers will appear on all the pages (including the first page) in your document. Page numbers could appear at the “Top of Page” (which is the header) or “Bottom of Page” (which is the footer), depending on where you have chosen to position them. Nevertheless, if the first page in your document is a “Cover Page” that was inserted from the “Pages” group in the “Insert” menu tab, then, the first page will not carry any page number by default. Figure 1 shows the first two pages of our document, and our task is to hide th...
