(This posting replaces the previous one, which had a typo in the subject line) I need to install Office 2007 on my PC, but I also need to keep an old copy of Powerpoint 2003 on there, so I can review and proofread presentations for my clients who refuse to upgrade. Several IT experts have told...

I was working on several documents using New Century Schoolbook (OpenType font), and Quark 6.5 did a fine job flowing the text and exporting PDFs. The next day, I went into the same documents and could not open them -- QXP crashed upon opening the docs. After disabling the font in Suitcase X1...

Anybody know of a CSS hack to reduce the spacing in an unnumbered list and a paragraph in IE/Windows? The list I'm referring to is on this page: http://home.comcast.net/~cprovancher/sia/snec/upcoming.html The CSS is at: http://home.comcast.net/~cprovancher/sia/snec/sia-site.css The left-hand...

Using Dreamweaver 8, I have slaved over a page that is built almost entirely out of CSS, including dropdown menus. I'm very excited that the page seems to work beautifully in all browsers. Since my client is going to be updating the site using Contribute 3.1, I figured I'd test the homepage in...

I've built a CSS-based page that holds together beautifully in Firefox for Windows and Mac, IE for Mac, and Safari. But in IE 6 for Windows, all hell breaks loose: Too much spacing around my navigation buttons and header, and my type size is way too big. Please see...

I'm struggling to get a page template so that the items line up in all browsers. The pages are supposed to look like this: http://www.sullivancreative.com/paa-05-7-19/services.jpg If I use absolute positoning on the right-hand photo and quotation paragraph, it looks OK in IE/Windows, but the...

I've build a page looks OK in IE/Windows, Firefox/Windows, Firefox/Mac, and Safari/Mac, but it breaks apart in IE/Mac. I've heard that IE has problems, and I've experimented with trying to use a workaround, including the so-called "box model hack," to no avail. Can anyone offer any advice on...

I am building a blog page that uses a lot of CSS (mostly borrwed from a Blogger template that I'm adapting for my use). For some reason I can't figure out, all of the items separated by <BR> seem to have extra space above them. At various points, I've tried troubleshooting by removing all...

I've created some bulleted lists using <ul> and <li>. Using "line-style-image" in CSS, I've replaced the standard bullet with a GIF of a little red square. It looks great in all browsers except in IE 5 for Mac, where the bullet graphics float about half-a-line too high. Of course, my boss uses...

I have spent hours creating and (I thought) perfecting a series of pop-up menus in Dreamweaver MX 2004, so when you roll over some CSS-styled text a pop-up will appear. The links are in a template file, which I know can be problematic except that I followed the directions and made the popups...

I am working on a site that needs to have two simultaneous treatments for its rollovers. In my CSS file, created with Dreamweaver MX 2004, I've created two sets of link styles. See: http://home.comcast.net/~djfer/hwa_testing/hwa_website/index-test.html and my CSS file...

I am trying to build a tickertape in Flash MX 2004 that would crawl along the bottom of a page. (I'm doing it in Flash, not DHTML, because I want it to be in a certain font, not generic HTML text.) I have a rather long list of words that need to crawl along the screen, and then it needs to loop...

I just had to do a clean wipe of my Mac hard drive because of some OS problems. Before doing so, I had backed up all of my Microsoft User Data, including Office X Identities database. I've reinstalled Entourage X, and downloaded the latest patches, but now when I copy those backed-up files to my...

One of the old Macintosh G3s in my office has a lot of trouble sending out emails with attachments from Outlook Express 5. If the attachment is larger than 1 MB, Outlook Express returns an error, "Disk is full." This has followed us from one Mac to another, and from one ISP to another. This...

I'm in the process of moving emails from an old iMac to a new Windows XP PC. The emails are in Outlook Express 5 for OS 9. What is the best way to transfer all of my contacts, archived messages, and folders from Outlook Express for Mac to Outlook 2003 for Windows? Outlook Express gives an...

I am creating a Quark 4.1 file that contains several very detailed screenshots. My client requires a PDF that is less than 400K, since the PDFs will be downloadable from the Web. When I distill the PDF using Print-optimized settings (using Distiller 4.0), it works out to be 2 MB, which my...

For anyone trying to figure out how to send HTML emails from Outlook 2003: Apparently Outlook 2003 has a weird little feature under Tools > Options > Mail Format that lets you compose messages with *Microsoft Word formatting*. I can't imagine why this feature exists, or why it seems to default...

I've created an HTML email and sent it to my client who is using Outlook 2002. There are several places where I've needed to insert bullets in the copy (not bulleted lists, but the actual bullet character, &#8226;). However, she tells me that the bullets are converting to asterisks. Not sure if...

I'm trying to create an HTML email for a client. (I know all the pitfalls of HTML emails... but this is what my boss says I have to do.) I have created an HTML page in Dreamweaver MX and it displays beautifully in every browser. When I copy and paste it into Outlook, however, the tables all blow...
