PST file prompts me for a password after upgrading my Office
Hi All, After upgrading my Office 97 to Office 2000, my Outlook's personal folder prompts me for a password. But I didn't put any password on it before. I've tried recovering on some PST password recoverer, but it will just tell me that this file is not password protected. What's going on in here? HELP!!!! Please. Thanx in advance.

UDF to Convert formula results to text
Can a UDF be used to convert formula results from column A to text in column B? I know that I can manually cut and paste "special" to achieve this, but I want to avoid a manual step. Instead of a UDF use a macro. Change columns(2) to columns(1) to change the column withOUT the need for an additional column.

How to keep fonty style to write in a text with different style?
Hello everyone, I have started giving lessons. I need to add my corrections to the text my pupil send me by e-mail. Right now I have to change the font style each and every time I have to write something in the middle of her text. As it´s a correction, I type in red bold letters while the original text is in normal black font. Is there any option I can use so that I don´t have to change the font every time? Any option that sets the type font independently of the style of the original text? Thank you. Hi Cristina, Word has a Track Changes feature that change ...

Macro to delete a text box and copy in new one
I need to set-up a macro to go from one file, file1, into another file, file2, and delete a text box in file2. Then, I need the macro to go back into file1 and copy a blank text box over to file2 and put it in the same location. Is this possible? Any information is appreciated.

I have a column, Members, where sometimes there can be multiple names. I pull a query and then run a report.

Paste Special as Text

Can Excel 2003 prompt before Autosaving?
In Excel 2000 you could have the Autosave prompt you before saving. I can't find this feature in 2003, just the Autosave. Chris There is no Autosave in XL2002 and 2003 as there was in earlier versions. Autorecovery from Tools>Options>Save is it. This is not the same as Autosave which made true incremental saves at intervals and alerted you before saving. Autorecovery just saves a temporary file which it deletes if Excel closes normally without incident. BTW.....Dave Peterson reports that he tried an earlier version of Autosave.xla in XL2002 and it seemed to work fine. I have...

How does 'save as text' work?

Text field size
I want to import data into a new table in Access 2007. Under Access Options, then Object designers--I put 50 in as the Default text size. But anytime I import data and it is a text field it will automaticlt make it 255 no matter what i do. I am trying to limit the size of the Database since most of my data would never exceed 50. Thanks -- Tom The good news is that Access doesn't waste space in text field. Even if the field is sized to 255 characters, if you put 50 characters in it, that's all it uses. About the only downside to having it set at 255 is that a fo...

x-axis text wraping
I'm working with data in a column chart that expands over 36 periods.=20 Rather than have the x-axis list 1 thru 36 I want x-axis to display = text.=20 I already know how to get the text there and to adjust the x-axis=20 orientation, etc. However, the graph automatically wraps the text once=20 it gets so long.=20 I don't want the text to wrap. Is there anyway to have the chart not=20 wrap the text? Besides decreasing the font of the x-axis.
