    spreadsheet numeracy issues

    Daft suggestions: 1) Check your font in other programs; 2) Check you're on the correct keyboard setting - it's easy sometimes to get onto US instead of UK; 3) Change your font - see if it does the same in a different one; 4) Sounds like it's treating it as text - retype some numbers using the...

    Claris (Mac) to Excel (PC)

    I need to move some spreadsheets from ClarisWorks 4.0 on Mac OS 8.6 to Excel 2000 on Win 2000 Pro. No Claris for PC or Excel for Mac available. Neither will recognise the other's files. Have obtained 'Claris to Office 97' but can't seem to work it (it wants XTND thingies). Some files aer simply...

    I need hlep curving text in PM 6.5, I am ripping my hair out!!!

    You can also copy and paste in (dare I say it?) WordArt from MS Word. Admittedly that may not fit what your clients want and the sort of styles they have are rather naff on the whole, but if desperate.... You've probably rejected this idea already. Never mind... I used to do it in (Adobe...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    Very much thanks for that link - successfully downloaded at last and put in its proper place. Unfortunately... makes no difference! Had bright idea and checked printer driver. Added HP 4m Plus driver (from somewhere in Windows back stores). Printer still working (phewwww!) - have to change...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    Not a Scouser - a Sandgrounder working in Lerpwl! OK, looked on those sites - downloaded things - read the FAQs - can't find the one you say: hp4m_v4.ppd. Have found HP-LaserJet_4M-ljet4.ppd - no difference. Googled for hp4m_v4.ppd - only references seem to be Mac based. (Wish I was! Life is so...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    The links did work - on these boards they usually come up if they've got http or www (neither of which come up in normal conversation!). OK, the Adobe one was giving me drivers for 3.1 up to 98 - I'm on 2000 Pro so I tried the other one. That has downloaded a lot of .dl_ things, an info file...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    Errr... PPD folder? In Extras there's a Print folder which contains ppd.exe. That's all I can find. By the way, greetings from a Saesneg in another part of Glanau Mersi...

    Reducing size of publication

    To back up Eggles on this, Save As can reduce a file by several hundred MB. Just using Save keeps all the previous version plus your changes. Save As either writes a new file with just the essentials and a new name, or a new file with the old name (and just the essentials) while the old version...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    Have tried using Print Styles - no joy. It selects the right printer (I've got an HP DeskJet 3420 on as well as the LaserJet 4m and use both at once sometimes!) but when on the laser, still defaults to Automatically Select or Auto Select. (Why the two? Don't they mean the same?) It's OK on the...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    Thanks for the idea - but... That still means remembering to change the style! On the Mac, the file remembers for me and I don't have to switch anything around. There must be some way - clicking Shift-Print (Done) is supposed to set the defaults for a file but it doesn't seem to do it for the...

    PM7, HP LaserJet 4m and Manual Feed

    I can't get PM 7 to remember which printer tray I want for particular files. (It always used to work on the Mac! I'm on Windows 2000Pro on a PC now.) The machine defaults to Automatically Select, but for certain files I want it to be Manual Feed. When I set a file to Manual Feed, everything...
