Am using Visio Plan 2 subscription, which is the desktop Visio Pro application. They seem to push themes to control the overall look of a drawing, and styles are there but not well named o rexplained. It turns out that you can rename or define a style, and set it to just affect the text of a...

Looks like there aren't too many Framers here - the last few threads were unanswered. I've recently started using Frame 15, with a bit of experience in older versions. I see Adobe, and some hits from STC Carolina. Anyone have favorite sites/resources?

Well - it seems that Windows has some features I haven't noticed until now - I can't believe I just learned this - noticed in Win 7, but does same thing in a Win 2K vm. In a command window, dir *.doc will also return .docx files. hm, that's almost cool. And, in VBA, the behaviour holds -...

Probably not, cause lots of folks have created add-ins over the years. Search the various PDF generators/makers - some of them will do what you want/

I don't think Word 2003 can save to PDF by itself. Do you have some add-in installed or external program? Adobe's Acrobat (full or pro versions) add one or several modules that do the job. They work from within Word, so you see a menu in there to "save to" PDF. They process the Word file, read...

Anyone building knowledge bases or doc libraries using SP Wiki sites? We're looking at migrating a large number of docs to SP, and the content from a lot of them into Wiki format.

Re LinkedIn- 1) groups - look at the groups that relate to what you've done. Join some. Then join some of the HR groups, too. Why? So the recruiters can easily find you. 2) Contacts - have you looked up the folks you worked with? Are you connected with them? What about industry contacts...

Thanks! That's kind of what I'm doing - at a previous project, I reviewed the a lot of the client's procedures, and helped rewrite and update their mobile device policy. But, I figured some more input would be nice. - I get hired to do the dangdest things... Regards Jay

Thanks - I appreciate the info!

Greetings... I see lots of discussion of backup and DR, doing mirroring to alternate sites and backing up to cloud rather than tape. Yet, I see that tape vendors are still out there, offering multi-Terabyte tape cartridges. What do you think? Anyone staying with tape, upgrading or even moving...

Ok - I am not an expert, but let me toss out a couple of comments and clarifiers: Some things depend on the OS and disk management - sometimes there's a drive management layer that obscures where the data is physically written. If you can for sure write over the media tracks/sectors where the...

Anyway, Thanks for the initial response. Scoping and planning a system should be pretty similar to software. The dev process would depend on size of project, I suppose. Testing - There's a lot of discussion about testing software - I don't see much about testing systems for deployment. Is that...

I forgot the other forum was private, and found this one after I made the other post. I'll repeat it here: I'm a technical writer, working with the IT group of a SoCal city. They want me to develop a body of policies and procedures for the City's IT - the idea being to draw from existing "best...

I posted a thread in another forum - it might have belonged here instead? SDLC for infrastructure comments?

Indeed.

(if the agent is reading it:) When you are available and phone is otherwise functional: If you hear the ring burst but the call isn't directed to your phone, check that the phone isn't set to: - Do Not Disturb - Make Busy - Logged Out - Off hook unknowingly (Busy) - Check the prime line light...

Thanks, I should have clarified. I'm a technical writer, helping the IT dept of a SoCal city update their policies and procedures. Lots of things are obsolete or just not written down. Also, I've been given almost no contact with the IT department. So, part of my job is to come up with some...

In the past I've had issues with graphics and print drivers. Maybe you can go from Excel to an intermediate step, then to InDesign? Does it matter which device you're sending it to? Like, can you make a PDF? What about font and graphic settings in InDesign? Regards Jay

When a business issues a cell phone, how is support usually handled? - say it loses texts, or doesn't notify the user of voicemails, or - whatever. Is it usually handled by IT first, or does the user call the carrier's support, or what? What if there's a management app on it? if a device...

I think IBM's AS/400 was current 20+ years ago. But may be much cheaper to run it emulated on modern hardware than to rewrite it. Seems to me that one of IBM's current supported environment is a version/form of Linux. The IT shop at one of my former employers is run by a guy who is - not...
