Oops - should've updated. I used mharroff's suggestion, as it was simple and my little mind could do it and manipulate it easily to fit my needs. Worked like a charm. Still puzzling over the others - am learning a lot. Thanks to all!!!!

I probably did something wrong, but I keep getting lists of 123.45.123.45.600.0.0, 123.45.123.45.600.1.0, 123.45.123.45.600.2.0.... so it's close, but I'm probably executing badly.

You know how you can populate cels in a series by dragging the lower right-hand corner of a cel downwards? And if you have a unique series, you can type in about 3-5 cels, select them and then drag down? Well, trying to do with this IP Addresses, but in the third octet, not the last one. So what...

Thanks to all who replied. Unfortunately, Microsoft did not make this easy to fix for those of us with weak hearts. I did like the Google Groups posting and see what I can from there that seems less nerve-wracking than hacking the registry or booting up in SAFE mode (I am quite the chicken). :-)

Thanks much. I am feeling much better now!

I know you can embed fonts in PowerPoint - can you do it in Word 2000? I have looked around (lightly) and can't find anything. Related posts to this forum have gone unanswered. Have pity on me? Thanks!

Yes, somehow, I did it and I have a duplicate fonts folder on my Windows 98 machine. If I try deleting the folder, I get nasty warnings. If I try deleting the contents of the duplicate folder, it deletes the fonts files in the duplicate folder AND in the c:\windows\fonts folder. I right-click...

Found my own answer - with the help of the original user. We googled it, and found this link: http://techrepublic.com.com/5206-6335-0.html?forumID=5&threadID=137196&start=0 Search for "brackets", and there is your answer. :-)

You know, those "L" shaped things in every corner of a doc in Page Layout view? Is there any way to hide those "brackets" as my user is calling them? I can send a screenshot if my question is unclear. I have looked around the Tools -> Options, File -> Page Setup screens and haven't found...

Wow! This has bugged me for years!!! Cheers to you, dcompto!

Hi Fred: I've thought of that. But I've noticed that SOMETIMES it happens, and sometimes it doesn't. So if there were extra spaces, you'd think that it would happen all the time, no matter what? It's only under certain conditions that this happens, I suspect and I want to know what those...

OK, I tried this with a TINY sample. But basically, with my cursor in my table, I chose Table menu -> Select -> Table. Then I hit Ctrl-C to copy. Then I opened a new Excel spreadsheet, put my cursor in the first cell and hit Ctrl-V (paste). That put every Word table cell into a separate Excel...

Here are the details of my problem: I create a csv file. One of the columns has cells with a lot of text. So I format the cells by choosing the column and hitting Format -> Cells-> Alignment -> Wrap text. Almost invariably, some rows expand to like 3" tall, but only have 2 lines of text. The...

Hi all: I see this error (or a similar one) on the web in MANY PDF documents (I Googled "Figure error"). My user is complaining of this error in her document. From what I see, it's appearing in PDF files mostly, but the user is complaining it's showing up in her MS Word document...

OS=Windows 2000. The poor victim emailed the file to me, and we can open the suspect embedded object (I opened a bunch of them in case he identified the wrong one). He gets the error: Microsoft Word can't start the application required to open this object. An error occurred and this function...
