Can't edit story in Word (Pub 2000)
I have Office 2000 SB Edition, running on Windows 98 SE. When I am using Publisher 2000, and want to "Edit Story in Word" I get an error message. It says it can't connect with Word, and to "close other applications or free up memory", or to "reinstall the OLE server". I don't have any other applications running, and I have lots of free memory. I don't know what the OLE server is, or how to reinstall it. Can anyone help please? I have Office 2000 SB Edition running on Windows XP on another machine, and I do not get this problem there, just on the Windows 98 machine. Thanks, Jeremy

Thanks to an earlier post from Ed Bennett, I have found the solution to my problem. I turned off script blocking in Norton AntiVirus, and now Publisher and Word work together nicely. Thanks Ed!

Exchange 2000 OWA Upgrade

Outlook 2000 printouts not obeying margins, letters cut off on left
Hello, I'm having a problem printing certain messages in Outlook 2000. I can't pinpoint the condition for the problem occuring, but it does seem to occur most often on fowarded messages to me. If I do a print preview on the message, it looks just fine -- with .5 inch margins on all sides.

This happens on multiple printers, and only in this application. I have tried to reinstall the printer/print drivers. - Jared ...
