Unfortunately, the newer animations don't convert down. You can disable the new animation features in PowerPoint (Tools>Options>Edit) when working on a presentation that will be going to older software. That'll still give you animation options, just not the ones the older programs can't work...

Also, the more data in Excel you have, the more likely you are to lose track of it. Image that you are using the spreadsheet to track open and closed suspenses. You are always going to have more closed ones than open--and at an ever increasing rate (given that all open ones eventually become...

It could be a bug that was fixed with one of the Office updates. Linda Adams http://www.hackman-adams.com http://www.david-hedison.com

Just thought this might be a good place to post methods of how to bulletproof your database and keep users from doing unintentional (or intentional) things to it. One is to go into Tools>Startup and turn off "Display Database Window." Users should never see the database window or use...

Database corruption can also cause it to seem to delete records. I had the experience of entering a record in, and Access not saving. I also had two archive queries (append/delete) that ran with the close of the form, and when the database was getting ready to corrupt, it would not append the...

MsoNormal occurs when you copy and paste text from another program such as Word. FP 2003 has an option which allows you clear out odd formatting from other programs. You are probably better off using standard fonts, like Times New Roman or Arial because everyone has those on their computer...

Afraid not. It's incompatability issue in Netscape. FP is designed to work best with IE. You can change the browser compatability in FP, but all that would do was disable certain options that don't work in Netscape. Linda Adams http://www.hackman-adams.com http://www.david-hedison.com

When I tried to install an Office 2003 upgrade I got an internal machine error, Error 2755. The only references to this error were associated with networks, and they did not apply. The cause of the problem: I was a beta tester. When I installed the beta, I was given the option of installing...

If you just put it under My Webs that FrontPage created, that's just a folder, and you'll need to create a web (a subweb is actually a web within a web). When you open the site, the icon next to the site name should be a folder with a globe in it. If it's just a folder, then it's not a web or...

In order to properly create a Web page, FrontPage needs the Web site saved on your computer to be in a subweb, not in normal folders. Normal folders causes it to link to your hard drive. as you've already seen. To fix it, go to FILE>NEW and choose subweb. Then import your Web site into the...

Is your development copy of the site in a folder or a subweb? This makes a huge difference. FP treats a subweb like an enclosed entity, which makes the links work properly. But if the site is just in a folder, it may be hardcoding the links to your hard drive. A subweb is identified by a...

Frames are very confusing to do links to. Each page has the page containing the content, the frame (or frames, depending on how many use), and the overall page that includes the frames and the content page. You'll need to link to either the content page or the overall page--and that depends on...

It actually might be the browser. Unfortunately, not all browsers display images as you arrange them. For example, if you use the picture properties to align text around an image, it might not show up the way you designed it in the browser. It's better use tables to control image placement...
