Can Report formats be modifed?
When I print reports, such as Monthly Income and Expenses, there are no spaces between any of the lines -- and that makes the report hard to read without using a ruler. Is there a way to modify report formats by inserting a blank row where it would be helpful? The customize options are what you get.

HELP
Hi, Slowly going mad.... Every time I go into excel and move my mouse over the work sheet, it automatically acts as if it is on some sort of scroll lock. If I click in a cell, it acts as though I am holding down the mouse button and selecting an entire range- it will not let me dis-engage. Until just now I was able to get out of this by going into task mgr and disabling excel manually... now it won't even let me do that! Helpdesk where I am have no idea! I advised them this seems to happen on warmer days... has anyone experienced a similar prob ..... could it be anything to so...

dwTimeout parameter in CCriticalSection::Lock()
I'm using CSingleLock to lock a critical section and pass a timeout (10 seconds) when I call CSingleLock::Lock. A ASSERT fails at run time and I see that in CCriticalSection::Lock() the dwTimeout is not used, and it asserts the dwTimeout must be INFINITE. why CCriticalSection::Lock() does not take a timeout other than INFINITE? Thanks. WJ I am absolutely certain that the code does not take "A" ASSERT. In my experience, it always takes an assertion on a specific line of a specific file, neither of which you thought was important enough to mention. You also ...

Resetting Formatting in a Character Style
Supposed I modify the Emphasis style from "Blank" font face to arial. How do I modify Emphasis to go back to not changing the font face at all? I have tried typing in SPACE, CTRL/SPACE but when I click OK it goes back to arial. With *paragraph* styles, you can use a macro to reset the style definition (see http://word.mvps.org/faqs/macrosvba/ResetStyles.htm). However, that method doesn't seem to work with character styles, at least not in Word 2007. Instead, what you can do is copy a "clean" version of the Emphasis style, say from the Normal template (as...

Applying more than 3 conditional formats

Is this possible? Or what are the alternatives to getting the same result? Any help you can give me gre...

Excel Date Format
I am an accountant that uses Excel extensively in my work. On a very regular basis, I enter account numbers, often in formats that Excel is programmed to recognize as dates, and as a result it frequently (and incorrectly) reformats the data I enter as a date. Now, when I'm posting hundreds of account numbers from the clipboard, it is very time-consuming, not to mention frustrating, to have to go back and manually correct each one. Obviously, I can't just highlight the affected cells and change the format back, since the date format actually changes the data in the cell. I'...

Conditional data validation drop downs
Good afternoon, I want to set up drop down's that bring up criteria to be selected based on a previous data drop down selection, i.e. let's say column A has drop downs consisting of various areas within a building, i.e. Ceiling Void, Roof, Ceiling, Floor etc. Based on what is selected in A1 the drop down criteria in B1 should relate only to what could apply to the selection in A1.
