Re: "...we'd have fewer repeat questions (which are becoming increasingly

Seems searching rarely gets me a good answer, but the fault is probably my
own--if I later get the answer I then realize that I was usuing the wrong
words in searching. Some forums have a collection of FAQs. A collection
of, say, the top 25-50 could save a lot of repetition.

In Outlook Express, you can set the view to highlight "replies to my
posts,"
but only the Web UI can send you a notice when there has been a reply;
that
is really necessary in the Web UI because otherwise it's very difficult to
even find your own post again, to see whether anyone has replied.
NNTP access (using a newsreader such as OE) is much more efficient for
people who read NGs regularly; for people who want to drop in
occasionally,
post a question, and then come back to read the replies, the HTTP (Web)
Communities interface is more convenient (even if less efficient).
I would recommend NNTP, however, for anyone who wants to become educated
about Word by reading questions and answers; if more people did this, we'd
have fewer repeat questions (which are becoming increasingly common as
users
fail to search for answers before posting).

So what is the best way to follow this and other Microsoft forums? Iwebsite
have
been using Outlook Express--and I have never gotten any e-mails
announcing
that somebody has answered any questions I posted.

My guess is that the biggest problem is that you use the Microsoft
for the newsgroups. YUCK!
