    Seeking a Teleconferencing Solution to Meet a Family Need

    Hi, (Wasn't sure where this topic fits; hope this is the appropriate forum.) My 100-year-old mother and stepfather live too far away for me to make frequent trips to see them. And when I do visit, my mother can’t handle more than an hour-long visit per day. So, I’m looking for a virtual...

    Hello, I have a document I've set up for different odd and even pages for the entire document, so that the page numbers will appear in the left-hand corner for even pages and right-hand corner for odd pages. The document is 12 pages long, and the arrangement works fine for all but one page...

    Office 2000 and Outlook 2003 or Higher on Vista?

    Hi, If I understand what I've read at several forums, in general Office 2000 is more or less compatible with Vista, but Outlook 2000 can be a problem. First of all, do you agree with that assessment? I've seen more recent versions of Outlook (e.g., 2003, etc.) for sale without having to buy...

    Looking for a Simple Database to Track My Work

    Hello, When I was doing freelance magazine writing in the late '80s and early '90s, I used Q&A as my database and loved it for keeping track of what were my article ideas, whom I had sent my ideas to, what the results of the submissions were, etc. Q&A is no longer supported, and the old copies...

    Any Way to Break the 113-File Barrier?

    Hello. I recently purchased a combination MP3 player and card reader. Unlike iPod-type units, it plays the mp3 files off of an SD card that you insert into the unit. Using the unit's card-reader capability, you download the files off of your computer onto the card in the unit. Then, you listen...
