Enter Consolidated Applications Information into Portal (required process)
This procedure helps us improve the Applications Lab process by consolidating all files sent by customers interested in lab service so that the Lab may have a single document to refer to for all technical information related to an application:
Open a blank Microsoft Word document
Open target email(s) from customer
Copy and paste text from target email(s) into Word Document
For each target email, copy and paste all attachments into Word document
For PDFs: In the Word document, right click on each PDF one at a time, go to “Acrobat Document Object” in the menu, select “Convert”
In the “Convert” Window uncheck the “Display as Icon” box, then press “OK”
For PPTs: Now repeat same steps for each PPT file in the same way as PDF files
For JPGs: Left-Click on a JPG in the Word Document, at Word’s top menu bar, select “Picture Format”, then select “Compress Pictures”
In the “Compress Pictures” window, uncheck “Apply to only this picture” and “Delete Cropped areas of pictures”
Check the box called “E-mail Resolution (96 dpi): minimize….” (this box should be the only thing checked in the window)
Select “OK”
Under the View toolbar menu in Word, choose “Web layout”
