Luckily it is an AMI bios on them so it is possible to fix. Give me a couple of days, and I'll check out a couple of other BBS's and see if they have the program, if so I will upload it. But don't go changing the motherboards because of the password being changed, sounds like a waste of money. Also change all the passwords on all the other machines, and let the headmaster know the new password, but don't use your name as the password, that is too easy. Take care.

The basic concept of mailmerge from a flat file is that you do need to add all the "drafting" to each record. You could work around by coding the long word to a shorter one and then find a way to perform an if-then-else to expand it but that doesn't cure a simple concept. If you have access to MS Excel, you can use normal Copy, Paste commands over many cells to save you typing into your datasource. Additionally Excel 95 and 97 autofill as you type, which helps.

Excel generally relies on Windows default printer, i.e. that set by Control Panel. Check the printer name in the File|Print dialog. Next, check the humble MS Write's fonts and printer. Finally, Word can store a different printer assignment from the default on a per document basis. Maybe you have even stored it in NORMAL.DOT, the global template. Change the selected printer to the one that Excel uses from Word's own menus.

Is there BK> any problem with just copying my normal.dot (from BK> Office 95) so I don't BK> have to re-created all my macros, toolbars, autocorrect entries, etc.? Word 6.0, 7.0('95) use the same macro language architecture. Word 8.0(97) uses newfangled VBA 5.0. keep a copy of your NORMAL.DOT. When you change over, Word 8.0 will autoconvert all your old macros to VBA. It won't do major changes, just tack WordBasic. as a prefix to many macro function names (I think). However, once it's done it's job, you won't be able to cross edit the new NORMAL.DOT. Several functions won't convert, especially the DECLAREs to call Win16 APIs. There may not be identical Win32 APIs. DDE and OLE calls, you would have to check on. AutoCorrect,Autotext entries no change and the toolbars, generally, will keep, although, toolbars don't exist anymore, now menus and visible bars are one, called command bars. I see some talk of whether Office '97 is worth buying. My answer is an unqualified YES. Word has substantially changed internally and macro wise, it's almost a new program written to work like the old one. Excel has changed enough to make a solid difference to jaded spreadsheeters and Access is apparently tuned, debugged etc...

This works fine. What I don't understand though, is how normal.dot works. If I call up a new document based on normal.dot on my machine, the options on the toolbars are as I have set them up for me. If I create a new document on another persons machine, then the toolbars etc are set up their way. But then the receptionist changed her settings on Thursday, and when the computer operator went into her machine this-morning, she has the settings that the receptionist made last Thursday and she doesn't want them. I thought the way it worked was that it should read the one file (normal.dot) off the file server and everyone should be the same. Why are some people the same, and some people not? Confused.

I lurk in places like FILM and see your posts but between work, listservs and working on an ISP, I have little time to post in any echo. But your friend's problem intrigued me because I recently had to spend a lot of time getting a friend's 486/66 VLB and several 486/33s in the office to work properly with Win95 and with Word. They are finally there but they took a lot of tweaking. Let me know how he makes out or have him email me if he has more questions.

One of my business partners has the WIN95 version which seems to contain MS Word 7.0. Are there any significant differences between them? We do seem to be able to exchange files with no problem. When I use his version on his computer, I see a few things (e.g. the active spell check). I am also contemplating getting an upgrade computer. One possible choice comes with Microsoft Office 97, small business edition. The description I saw on the Web site for the computer was vague about what version of "word processing" program was in that package. Can some one tell me what it is? dale@ghawk.com (1:261/1137.11) ...
