    Excel can't open some files, no error message

    I've run out of ideas on this one. I have excel files that were originally generated by a Crystal Info Server. Most workstations on the network (150) can open the files without problems. My workstation (Windows XP Professional, Office 2000) and at least 1 other (Windows 2000, Office 2000)...

    MS Word read modify write

    I've tried reading an MS Word document fread(), replacing text e.g. <<Placeholder>> with a str_replace() and writing it back. A bit like a poor man's mailmerge.

    Upgrade Apache, PHP, RedHat 7.2 to RedHat 8

    I've been running a RH7.2 server for some time specifically as a web server with PHP as a PHP development/test platform.

    I have a machine set up to boot either Red Hat or Windows. I installed the GRUB boot loader. I now want to want to try setting up VMware so that I can have Red Hat running in a &quot;Virtual Machine&quot; similtaneously with Windows. Therefore, I would like to uninstall GRUB. How do I do this?

    MS Project import/export

    Is there any software out there yet that allows a linux client PC to open or import a Microsoft Project file, manipulate/edit it, and save or export it to Windows? Ideally a product like OpenOffice that can open and save MS Office documents is what I'm looking for.

    PlanPerfect

    A very old PlanPerfect spreadsheet file has ended up on my desk with a request to import it into Excel. I am using Office 2000. There doesn't appear to be a standard import or filter function available. Any suggestions welcome

    Slow Printing

    I have a PII 350, 196Mb Mem running Red Hat 7.2 with an HP LaserJet 6 connected to the Parallel port, and using standard LPD. It runs horribly slow. Even the ASCII text test page takes around 30 seconds. The data light on the printer starts flashing soon after I send the print job but it takes...
