I have a friend who uses MS Works, but nobody can open her text documents. I had her send me a sample by e-mail, and it arrived in .wps format (which sounds like WordPerfect) and the Internet said it came out of MS Works. So I told her to use "save as" and select .doc format, which everybody...

Thanks Justin. I enter the lines you see in the Python Idle Shell and press [Enter]. When it works, I get the blue listings of the 9 numbers, indeed slowly, but something always starts within 15 seconds. When it does not work, it prints >>> and then nothing. I am trying to write a Sudoku...

The following runs just one time out of five: import math for a1 in range (1,9,1): for a2 in range (1,9,1): for a3 in range (1,9,1): for a4 in range (1,9,1): for a5 in range (1,9,1): for a6 in range (1,9,1): for a7 in range (1,9,1): for a8 in range (1,9,1)...

When I write: for i in range (0,1296,1): for j in range (0,648,1): for k in range (0,648,1): if i*j*k == 1296: print i,j,k The results are missing 1296 1 1, 648 1 2, 648 2 1, etc. What am I doing wrong?? Edwin M.

1) What is the Python statement for nCr, i.e. the number of combinations of n things taken r at a time? 2) What is the formula for counting the number of elements in a set, e.g. 3 for set('a','b','c') ? Thanks.

Hi - I am a Python novice running under Windows XP. Everything works fine, but after I have worked for some 2 hours, I suddently get 2 messages: "Socket Error: Connection Refused" and "IDLE's subprocess didn't make connection. Either IDLE cannot start a subprocess or a personal firewall is...

QUESTION WITHDRAWN! Sorry.

Suppose you run an interactive game program in Idle, and there is a variable like "winnings" that, at the end of the program, has a certain value. What if the player wants to repeat? How can you get the program to repeat and make the final winnings value the initial one for the next game? I...

In Pyton 2.4.2, set1=set(['abracadabra']) results in 'abracadabra' as a member, while set2=set('abracadabra') results in 'a' 'r' 'b' 'c' as members. How do I get the input from a raw_input query into a set1 type set? How should the input be made? Edwin M.

Hi TAJSimmons - you're right: Powerpoint is essentially useless with a plus-minus 25% variation in all set times. Now MS has written a progrem "Producer" which is a free 5MB download. It starts with a Powerpoint file, but uses an Adobe Premiere-type parallel ribbon layout (ribbon for...

I have used PowerPoint to put together an "automatic" 20-slide show, where each slide is on for a specified number of seconds, and a single sound track plays for all. On both a Win2k dedsktop and a WinXP laptop, timing is so inaccurate and synchronization so bad that, in a 2.5 minute...

Well, no - it does not start with con. etc The file name is something like xxxxxxx1.avi As I said, I cannot rename it in Win2k or DOS: I get the same "in use" message as with trying to delete or move. \\.\c:\docume~1\user\mydocu~1\con.xxxx.mov - I am confused - is this a dos...

In Win2k, I have some files (movie .avi, larger than 300 Mb, in a My Documents folder) that I cannot delete or rename or compress or move in Win Explorer, nor in MSDOS (have not tried moving), nor in PowerDesk: message says sharing violation, may be in use. Others (same type, 3 Gb)I cannot...

Turning off the daylight saving time, I think, would definitgely fix the problem, but seems too strong medicine, since your time will be off in summer. What about simply flowing all from A>B when DST comes in, then again when it goes out, i.e. twice a year? If the files are intact on both...

I am "synchronizing" files between a Win2k and a Win98 computer, and notice that in Win2k, a file creation/change time adds one hour when daylight saving time rolls around, while in Win98 the time appears to stay unchanged. So at DST time, hundreds of files suddenly have to be...

Thanks for your suggestion. I have found out that you can easily move files into Premiere and its bins, using the EXPORT command. Their approach is to identify a file not so much by nmame (I have found out how to access it) but by a mixture of looking and tags. I have used ImagAXS for tags...

I just started using PHOTOSHOP ALBUM and am referred to this forum for topics. ALBUM is great, and identifies images by date. I have trouble seeing the FILE NAMES. Suppose I manage and select some 20-30 files and want to move them to, say, Premiere. 1) How do I see the file NAMES, other than...

I am trying to select a title background color in the new 6.5 Titler. Help says that, with the title window open, you select Window > Window Options > Title Window Options. There are 4 options, but no "title window." Also, R-clicking in the titler window does not give me any...

Hi - I don't know what caused the problem, but can't you slide the audio (in the timeline) forward or backward until it synchs? People who use clapboards (snap shut) do that.

Thanks. If you mean that I must have Office plus (or including) Powerpoint 97 or 2000, the answer is no. I just have all the components without Powerpoint - I believe it is called Small Business or something. Thanks for the tip, however.
