    Excel file on network not giving users Read-only copy

    We have several files in a shared folder on the network. A new Excel worksheet (2003) has just been saved in that folder, and even though it is set up the same as the others (as far as we can tell) it allows several users in at the same time but does not give anyone the File in use message, and...

    Mysterious changing Excel column widths

    I have a user who has a 2.7Gb Excel 2003 file with about 50+ sheetsand lots of hyperlinks. Occasionally, she will notice that the column widths appear to have changed (smaller). I say appear to, because if she immediately sends the file to another user, they see it properly. The only way the...

    Word 2003 Can't draw?

    Help! When I try to draw lines in Word 2003 (Win XP) It does nothing. Lines, Autoshapes, rectangles, etc., nothing works. If I try it enough times, I get "TOO MANY EDITS - SAVE YOUR WORK". Anyone have an answer? I have looked for settings in the Tools, but to no avail yet. Thanks. Sawedoff

    Print from "File open" in Excel

    I recently upgraded from Office 2000 to 2003, and in Excel, I used to be able to choose File > Open, and right clisk a file and choose print, without opening the file. Now I get a message that "The command you selected is not available from this shorcut menu" even though the command is there...

    Windows 2000, taskbar buttons

    I have a user who bungled her taskbar, and now the active application buttons won't shrink as she opens more than will fit on the taskbar. As soon as she opens the 4th application, it drops to the next line and won't show unless you make the taskbar 2 lines deep, etc. Where is the setting for...

    If formula based on text color

    I have exhaused my resources, so I expect the answer is NO, but I'll ask anyway. I have a user who wants to write an IF statement in Excel that looks at the color of the text in a cell. Is it possible? Sawedoff

    self-changing column widths

    I have a user who saved a copy of an Excel workbook from our company intranet to her desktop. She updates it for her own records. The problem is, sometimes when she opens it, the column widths have changed without her doing it. They always get smaller, never larger, and they often get small...

    Indiana time zone disaster

    We have a number of users who didn't heed the warning about changing their time zone prior to the DST date, and now they have appointments that are showing an hour off. Does anyone know of a quick global fix? (for those who don't know, Indiana has not observed DST until this year, so our users...

    Freeze panes in Excel 2003

    I have a user who has a problem with XL2003. Whe she freezes panes, the columns to the right and below will not scroll. Is this a new problem with XL2003? It works just like 2000 except when you arrow right, the selection just goes off the screen into neverland, and the display won't follow...

    PowerPoint summary slide

    No matter what I seem to do, I can't get my Summary Slide button to come to life. I have also tryed Alt-Shift-S, and nothing seems to work. It just stays grayed out. I have tried it with or without selecting one or many slides in Slide sorter view. PowerPoint 2000 SP3 in Win 2K. Thanks...

    I use iSeries Access to record macros for use on an AS400. I can't seem to get my session to store macros (*.mac) anywhere except the C:\Program files\IBM\Client Access\Emulator\Private folder. Is there any way to change the path? Thanks. Sawedoff

    Easy way to remove stationery?

    I hate it when I receive emails with that annoying stationery, especially those with dark backgrounds and hard-to-read fonts. Is there an easy way to strip them or make them arrive sans stationery? I know I can edit the email and change it's format, but I am looking for a one or two click...

    Outlook 2003 Privacy

    Using Outlook 2003 with an exchange server, when you invite others to a meeting, you can see all the details of other employee's calendar events. With 2000 we could only see whether they were Free or Busy. I can't imagine the HR director would be happy having a worker being able to see that he...

    How to find blank or non-blank cells

    Many years ago, in our old friend Lotus 1-2-3, there was a feature wherby if you pressed [END] then any arrow key, you would jump to the next blank or non/blank cell in that row or column. For example, let's say you were in cell C2, which was not blank. Assume column C has some blank cells and...

    Outlook display URL

    I am using Outlook 2K, on a W2K machine, with email provided by an Exchange server. When I have an email open that contains a URL link, as I hover over the link, the URL doesn't display in the lower left corner like it does on other machines. What do I have set wrong? Thanks. Sawedoff

    How can I set the default Master slide in PowerPoint to NEVER have a title box or text box on any slide?
