    Deleting Line Segments

    When you connect three or more lines precisely, you will create a shape. You cannot ungroup them by using the Ungrouping feature. Try this: Select the "Pencil" tool from the standard toolbar. Highlight the line segment you want to delete. Place the cursor over the rotation handle...

    Connector glue

    Were you able to add a connection point to the shape? Select the shape, then select the Connection Point Tool from the standard toolbar. While holding down the Ctrl key, left click on the edge of the shape where you want to place the connection point. Once you have placed a connection point on...

    Document information/table?

    One way to do it would be to create the heading you want in table form in a Word Document. Then insert it as an object into the Visio drawing. If you don't know how to do this, post back.

    Outlook junk/adult mail filter

    On my computer, the file is called "Junk Senders.txt" and is located in the c:\WINNT\Profiles\username\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder, where username is whatever your username is. I don't know about the advisability of editing it, although since it appears to be just a...

    Scheduling an email to be sent automatically

    Might be easiest to just set it up as a recurring appointment, show time as "Free" so you don't impact their availability. Make the first word "Reminder" which should not offend them as if you were "tasking" them.

    Inserting Viso objects in Word (dotted lines problem)

    Mine appear as dotted lines. Visio 2000 & Word 2000.

    Breaking up large files

    Lots. I used to use the dos based Cutter awhile ago. Just put "file splitter free" in your favorite search engine and you'll get lots of hits.

    Why shouldn't a colon (:) be used in a secure password?

    I believe some security management applications use colon delimited files to manage security. Using a colon would, of course, confuse these apps.

    Printing JPG's in Power Point Presentations

    Must be the printer. I've never had any trouble printing jpgs. Have him try a different printer.

    copy & paste

    The easiest way I can think of is to put your title on the page, then a section break, then format for your columns after the section break. I've never had to do that, though, so there may be an easier way. Your title header won't really be a header, strictly speaking, but it will look the same.

    Copying Netscape orofile to new CPU

    Are you copying the entire Netscape folder (under Program Files)? The bookmarks should arrive ok since that is just a file. The only other thing I can think of is that there may be some registry entries that exist that would, of course, not be transferred.

    HTML in auto responses... not working!

    The main issue I can see here is that you have no control over which email application your potential customers are using or how they have it configured to receive email. Not everyone uses Outlook. At home, I don't use Outlook (for security reasons), plus I receive my messages in plain text...

    copy & paste

    Here's what I have done: before pasting, go to Format/Columns and set for the same number of columns. Then just do a paste, and it should paste it ok. I have Outlook set up to use Word as my email editor. Plus, they have to View it in Print Layout, but the message should default to that view...

    Netscape 7 multiple TABs

    Go to this site: http://channels.netscape.com/ns/browsers/7/features/browsing.jsp and scroll down to the section titled: Home Tabbed Pages. According to the article, it is a feature on Netscape 7.01, and can be set up under Edit/Preferences. HTH

    Net Send

    Thatrenowned, I'm not an admin, I'm an instructor, and we had a problem with a couple of students doing this in a class one day. It really got out of hand and they were distracting other students with their antics. After we requested they stop, they continued, so we went up through channels...

    Net Send

    A technological issue does not always require a technological solution. Just add something to your company policies and send around a memo stating that unauthorized use of Net Send is prohibited and violators will be subject to disciplinary action. From that point on, you can address any...

    Subtracting Wall Space

    This is for Visio 2000, but it's probably the same for 2002. Are you using a wall or a panel? If a panel, right-click on the panel, select Properties, then change the Panel Thickness to something like .001. That's the closest you'll be able to get to zero. If you're using a wall, right-click on...

    SysAdmin "Attitude".... Is There Such a Thing?

    I'm not a sysadmin, but I've been around IT for over 20 years now and would like to make the following comments: First, I'd fire that consultant and find another. Second, talk with your boss and find out what your company's philosophies and/or policies are on this matter. Different companies...

    Centralised dictionary

    I haven't done this, but I don't see why it wouldn't work: Place your dictionary on a shared drive. In Word (on each computer), go to Tools, Options and click on the Spelling&Grammar tab. Click on the Dictionaries button then on the New button. Point to the dictionary on the shared drive and...

    Dialers - from the web.

    Go to http://www.lavasoftusa.com/ and download Ad-Aware. This usually gets rid of KaZaA. After that, go to http://www.gibboncore.demon.co.uk/kazaaspyware/kazaaspywarehell.htm and follow the instructions to be sure the removal is total. Let us know if this works.
