Re: Cut & paste text from text box columns to newspaper columns loses formatting.

Hi Rafael:

I don't know much about the Spam filtering capabilities of Yahoo. I think
they're like any other email provider: you get what you pay for: if you pay
nothing, don't expect much :-)

SBC Global offers a good commercial standard of Spam filtering, which I
assume is well above the level offered to the non-paying customers at Yahoo.
Why would you not use that?

As to email alerts to responses to your postings, that is a knotty subject.

The ultimate "source of truth" for these forums is the NNTP server farm at
msnews.microsoft.com. If you do a Tools>accounts>News in Entourage you will
probably find the account has already been set up for you.

If not, proceed as here:
http://word.mvps.org/Mac/AccessNewsgroups.html

The NNTP protocol does not support notification of a response. People who
come in via NNTP don't need it, because when a response arrives you will see
it immediately.

Many years ago, it was considered polite to drop the original poster an
email of any response you made to their positing. The deluge of Spam and
the prevalence of anti-spammed email addresses means that's now considered
bad Nettiquette.

If you access the forums via any of the various HTTP aggregator sites out
there, you can elect to receive email notification from some of them.

If you come in via Microsoft Connect, and you log in with your Microsoft
Passport, your email address will be cloaked on the public site and you can
choose to be notified by email of responses.

The site works brilliantly using Windows Live from Vista, and it works OK in
FireFox from the Mac.

Microsoft Macintosh Business Unit recommends the Google interface:

I think Google offers similar notification of responses functionality.

OK, John. I found 'alerts' and 'subscriptions' for these google
groups. Do these settings roll over to the mail client newsgroups?

Hi Rafael:

Use a multi-column table and styles for formatting.

The way you have done the formatting is guaranteed to break whenever you
move the text someplace else.

Use the right tools and your formatting will stick through thick and thin.

Do you understand the difference between Character styles and Paragraph
styles? (They're in the Help if you don't...) You're probably going to need
some of each.

Cheers

Hi,

I have a list of IDs & Passwords, plus info related to them on a 2
column page created side by side using a text box. In changing to the
newspaper format, by cutting and pasting the existing text to a new
word document formatted in newspaper columns, I lose all formatting
(created both by tab, and right indent) as well as the color of email
addresses and URLs. Reformatting manually would be a tedious task.
How do I accomplish this task?

Thanks, Rafael
