Now we are getting somewhere. Call it dialog, form, template, whatever you like. There seems to be a fair amount of clemency here. Hey, a rose is a rose. Format Labels dialog works fine. File Open dialog works fine. It may be a Windows setting, particularly since WP9 is no longer supported...

My first response was to power cycle. I was then able to get into the router. I already have 128-bit encryption and an uncommon password. I do not use MAC Address filtering since my son often has Internet gaming parties; some connect by wire and some wireless. If a router hack was performed...

??? What I mean is this. If you go into MS Word and create an envelope, you get a graphical box, a form in which you can fill out the Address and the Return Address. The same type of box can be used in WordPerfect. However, by default, there is simply a short document page with dotted lines...

This is freakin' me out. Charter Communications just switched over to SuddenLink as my cable internet provider. I noticed since then that my router and cable activity lights are VERY busy. So, I decided to log into my router and check the settings. I have a Motorola Surfboard and a Belkin...

Ahhhh. This woman is driving me crazy!!! She works in a small office that has two computers, each with WordPerfect 9. They only use the word processing feature. Her computer suddenly began displaying errors when she opened WP. Based on the error (can not recall exactly what it was at the...

I had that checked earlier and just verified it. IE is set as you stated. I finally disconnected my virtual network drive and returned to using the C drive menu. Unfortunately, that forces me to copy all the contents of the previously shared folder onto the other computer. Seems all these new...

I have Windows XP Home. I mapped a network drive to a C:\Games folder having a collection of old DOS games. I use the mapped drive so that a folder containing shortcuts can be used from another computer in the house without rewriting the shortcut for each computer. All has worked well for years...

This is not an Exchange setup. The company is still using Microsoft Mail on an NT 4.0. Perhaps I can do the same thing if I access the Microsoft Mail Adminnistrator tool... just as soon as I figure out how to get past the Admin password which also went out the door with the former employee.

I have the password. However, when I checked the properties of various forms, the Administrator "Change Password" field is greyed out.

There's a small company I deal with that is still in the stone ages. They do use Windows XP Pro. However, they use a domain connection to an NT 4.0 server mainly for MS Mail and backups. The office bundle is Office 2000 and they use extensive custom forms in Outlook. The company was asking...

Scenario: Company has a non-technical person administer a setup where desktops use Outlook 2000 to access a MS Mail mailbox stored on a domain on an NT 4.0 server. This person has left the company and a new person has taken over the administration. The company employs extensive custom forms...

Thanks, Gerry. What if I just want to read through the tips? I promise I won't give away the ending. Where are they stored? ROn

Can you modify the Tip of the Day that is shown in MS Word? I would like to add some personal tips or modify what is there. Where is this info stored? Currently I am working with Office 2000 and Office XP. I may wish to modify Excel, Access and Powerpoint as well. Thanks, Ron

Using Windows XP with SP2 installed. All was working fine then, during a restart, I got an invalid boot.ini message. When I got to the desktop, a message stated that the HP PSC 1210 All-in-one printer was found. It had always been there and functioning well. I fixed the bootcfg problem by doing...

Well, it took over 9 hours but I came out with most of me intact. At first, I would perform one step then carry on to the next then realize that the whole thing had come back again. So, it seemed that the order in which I ran the fixes was significant. Here are the tools I used: - AboutBuster...
