Well, I was hoping I could reply and thank everyone profusely and say everything is rosy. Unfortunately... Apparently some Free Download Manager has gotten hold of my computer and thinks I would much rather download some of their software than what I was really looking for. Not only have I...

An install window opens - the text in the frame is: 'Setup - Free Download Manager for MyPhone Book Dialer' The window text is: 'Installing Free Download Manager 2.1 (Free Downloads Center edition) to accelerate MyPhone Book Dialer download. MyPhone Book Dialer will be downloaded and...

I'm trying to install MS Silverlight and when the install program starts, it says I'm installing some handy digital dialer. My daughter can put Slverlight on her laptop with no problem. Any ideas? Thanks. -- Ham

I am setting up a web site using Publisher. I would like to have a hyperlink connect to a pdf file that a user could print or download. How would I go about setting this up? Thanks. -- Ham Rutledge

Bless you!!! The lifetime accumulation must be the answer. I did a 'compact and repair database' and now it all works fine. Incidentally, the file size went from over 7 Meg before the C&R to 224K after. Obviously, changing a variable definition is not a very efficient thing to do. It is...

I have a large data base (Access 2003 SP2) with 108 fields defined. I have been updating it. I tried to change the data types on some fields and I get the message 'Too many fields defined'. The help message says 'You tried to perform an operation that involves more than 255 fields. Reduce the...

I have prepared a document with MS Word 2003. I'm using Arial text and have drawn some squares and circles in the text. When I print the document the figures shift out of place. I've tried this on two different printers (and two different computers) with the same result. The printers are an...

I am using Microsoft Publisher 2003 to generate web pages. I want to set up a structure where an html file can link to another html in a subfolder, and then, of course, link back. It’s been a few years since I’ve done a web site. I used to do it with direct html coding. In the main html page...

I recently upgraded(?) from Office2000 to Office2003. Now, when I click on the 'To...' button in email or on the address book in the address section of MSWord, all I can get is the main contacts folder - not any of the sub folders I had set up before. Is there any way to get these back...

Thank you - I was sort of afraid of that. It does work fine. They do have a removable disk for back up, and that was probably connected. It isn't now. I did connect another drive via USB, and it was tagged as C. This does create some confusion - I'm not used to treating C as an auxilliary...

A friend had a drive crash and got a replacement drive from Dell. He reinstalled a bunch of stuff and then asked for some assistance on some other issues. I was quite surprised that when I booted up his machine, his main (and only) disk came up as E. I know I can change that back to C via the...

Many thanks. It worked! For some reason, the first few rows were unchecked, but the rest were checked. I unchecked them all and it now behaves as I want it to. Thanks again. -- Ham Rutledge

I'm using WORD 2000. When a table carries over to another page, the celss in the bottom row on the first page sometimes split and appear partly on one page, partly on the next. Is there some way to tell WORD to NOT split cells on automatic page break? Thanks. -- ham Rutledge

My sister is finally dumping her Windows 95 computer for a shiny new XP Home model. She has dutifully and religiously done system back ups, using a Colorado T3000. I checked on the HP site and don't see a driver for XP. Does anyone know if such a driver exists? Any help/clues would be...

A neighbor has an HP PSC 750 (on a Windows 98 computer) which has worked with no problems. All of a sudden it is printing right to the edge of the physical printer margin and cutting off characters on both sides. He thinks this started when his son installed an additional printer - an HP...
