How to Create Free Online Registration Form with Google Docs (Google Drive)

 

Google Docs is a freeware web-based office suite offered by Google within its Google Drive service. It also was a storage service but has since been replaced by Google Drive. Wikipedia

I know many organization who host a seminar/workshops provide Registration Form for their participants to download and submit through email after completing the registration form. There are many online tools out there that provide free with limited number of forms, and so on.

This time I want to introduce Google Docs which is free and no hidden cost. It will combine Google Doc-Form and Google Doc-Spreadsheet. The Google Form will take care of the form interface for users and Google Spreadsheet will take care the results/entries when users submit their forms in Excel Format.

Not All Mobile Devices Can Use 3G Data Internet Package of Telkomcel.TL

Regular mobile and modem, will not have access to 3G Service of Telkomcel, regular mobile devices will only get 2G which is very slow. I have confirmed with Telkomcel before writing this article, they said Telkomcel got the license to operate in 850 MHz. To get more info about UMTS band frequency, please click here.

I just provide simple example for your guidance if you plan to buy a mobile phone to be used in Timor Leste, especially for Telkomcel.

Mobile/Tablet Not Supported 3G of Telkomcel, without 850 in 3G Network HSDPA	Mobile/Tablet that Suporta 3G of Telkomcel, with 850 in 3G Network
Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab 2G Network: GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network: HSDPA 900 / 1900 / 2100	Galaxy Note II N7100 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100 HSDPA 850 / 900 / 2100 - N7105
Galaxy Y S5360 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100	Samsung I9300 Galaxy S III 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100
Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 900 / 2100	Samsung I9070 Galaxy S Advance 2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900 3G Network HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

The same rule apply to USB Modem or Pocket Wifi, if you plan to buy a modem, ask the specification that support 3G 850 band, so at anytime you can feel the 7,2 Mbps 3G of Telkomcel.

To check your mobile’s specification, visit GSM Arena and Search your mobile brand and model.

Convert PDF to Word

I’m sure you’ve ever experienced the same situation, where suddenly your friend came and asking a help to convert PDF to Word document, and you are busy browsing to find out what is the best FREE PDF to Word converter available out there.

Tips: Before say yes to help, please have a close look of the PDF file to identify, is it originally typed document or a scanned document.

Because some files are created from word document by inserting a scanned hard copy of the document and created as PDF file. When dealing with PDF from scanned document, this software will not be useful because it will create a word document with scanned image that we can not edit.

If you seeking a free PDF to Word Converter, you can download it at BullZip.com
