edit "send to .txt" fileIs it possible to edit how the text file looks when you use the Send to
option after printing to screen? I have a report that looks good on screen
and printed, but when sent to text via send to option to send in email, the
lines go all over (out of order). We just want a way to email each report to
the appropriate person. The other option would be to print to file in the
destination box, but that deletes all empty lines and kind of makes it hard
to read. I'll take any suggestions. If we can do this, it will eliminate 150
paper copies per month.
Thanks,

Format Cells Date (or any change) not working on imported dataHello,
I've just spent ages researching this and not come up with what I need
to be able to do.
I have a worksheet for some simple data that has been imported, a
date, text and number column (as they display graphically to the end
user). All are a "general" format when using Format > Cells.
The issue I have is that the date information is in an American date
format and I would like to change them into a UK date format. Format >
Cells and selecting any option (including custom and special) makes no
changes to the imported data.
I have seen the work arounds whereby you sp...
Linking a graph to a csv file**Excel 2002
Hello, I'm sure this is exceedingly easy, but somehow,
I'm screwing this up. I ultimately need to have a self-
updating PowerPoint file (client mandates a ppt file).
According to ppt's help, that means I have to use linked
Excel graphs, not embedded ppt graphs. However, my
programmer will be supplying me with tons of csv files.
When I try to create an excel file with a data link to a
csv file, it tells me that it can't update it unless I
open the source file. I *can't* take the time to open
each csv - there will be hundreds. What am I missing

Opening a new instance of ExcelI am using multiple monitors for work and it is great! Is
there a setting that I can use so that it opens each new
excel file in a new excel window so I can drag different
ones to each monitor? Is there a similar setting for Word?
I am using Excel 2002 and Word 2002.
Thank you.
Hi,
Yes, you can check the Windows in Taskbar checkbox in
Tools; Options. This is on the View tab for both Word
and Excel.

Quirky recent file list #2
Debra---
I do tend to open from Windows Explore more then File>Open. But I am
saving the file.
It's more that it is annoying when I close a file by accident and don't
quite remember where it got saved on the server.

how do I add times in Excel and result in hours & minsI want to insert a time when I start work and a time when I take a break,
then a time when I leave work.
Following that I want to be able to add up the amount of hours that I have

This will enable me to plan my week ahead and ensure I only allocate a
specific amount of time to a project.

EXCEL TROUBLESHOOTING #2I have an excel file (2000 format), that after I made a
number of changes is causing me problems when I re-open
the file. Windows task manager goes to 100% CPU
activity, and i cant do anything within the excel file.
However, if I set recalculation to manual before I open
the file, all seems fine.
Obvioulsy I have a problem. But how do i find that
problem ?
Thanks in advance.
I have had some experience running large spreadsheets lately. Above a
certain size, the recalculation time seems to climb very fast. While Excel
is recalculating, you can't do anything anyway.

Outlook 2003Hello.
I copied my PST file from my D: drive to my F: drive.
I then went into "Data File Management" to get the new location
recognized and to have all future mail sent to that location.
After doing this, my custom settings, like new folders, date
settings, columns, etc, are all back to their default settings.
Is there any way I can get my custom settings working again on the F:
drive?
Thanks,
Dan
Could you explain yourself a bit more? What custom settings are you refering
to? You mean views? And what new folder settings?
Also post your version of Outlook.

Import Palm filesCan anyone help me by telling me how to import palm files

Depends what you can export to from Palm Desktop. Personally, I've found
this messy. Why not just get sync software that can sync your Palm with
Outlook directly? Chapura Pocketmirror or Pumatech Intellisync are two
ideas....or your Palm CD may have come with this option.

Excel ignores boot-time regional settings when interpreting a dateI have a third party DDE app that exports dates as strings, correctly
using the short date format in the regional and language settings,
which, in my case is MM/DD/YYYY (reset at every boot).
Unfortunately excel insists in interpreting that date as DD/MM/YYYY
[Application.International(xlDateOrder)=1, it should be 0],
disregarding my regional settings. The result is that all the dates are
wrong or #VALUES!
If this is not wierd enough, listen to this: it only happens after I
reboot (when the date format is reset to MM/DD/YYYY). If subsequently I
change the short date format in the regional se...
Excel to check for regular expression?Hi,
How do you use Regular expression in excel? For eg: Check a column of
data to see whether are all of them valid email addresses?
Please advise
THanks
By valid, do you mean that the email is in proper syntax or that it is an
actual email address.
Text formulas can be used for proper syntax. Perhaps a Visual Basic
proceedure.
I doubt you can check that the email address actually exists, as many
companies and ISPs will simply disregard and drop mail to invalid email
addresses to eliminate spam

Outlook 2003 Contact dataJust starting using Outlook 2003.
When composing an email, when go to address the note, it appears that there
are 2 Contact files - 1 is "blank" and the other has lots of my contacts.
It is the latter contact file that I enabled to use as my address book.
Initially address book comes up the first one and I get error message. Then
I toggle to the second one and all the names are accessible.
How do I get rid of the one that appears blank, so only one contact file
appears when I go to address an email?

List Shows Private FilesDID ANYONE ELSE NOTICE THIS?
Whenever I save an attachment, and go to the drop down
menu for file name, I am shown a list of dozens of files
recently accessed on the computer (not just files
accessed by Outlook Express). This occurs even if recent
cocuments is turned off in Windows XP and even if the
recent documents folder for Windows XP has been cleared.
This shows too much! Others using Outlook Express on the
same computer can potentially view the file names of
every document, image, and device recently accessed.
Where is the folder to clear this data out of?

outlook 2003 memory leak? /messages display as"none" and eats up memoryHi there;
When a certian user opens outlook, and clicks on sort by
size, half of her e-mails disappear, and "none" is
displayed. She said this happened to her at home, except
she was on her normal view which is sort by date. The
only way that I can recreate the problem is to click on
sort by size.
If you click on one of the "none's" or even hover the
mouse over it, the memory will spike up! I had the
performance tab open while I was doing this, and the
memory being used was read at 1.46 GB! And if I close
