I received the census index for 1871 1881 1891 in WordPerfect 5.1 format. I converted it to .rtf because if I changed it to anything else it moved the tabs. The columns went out of wack. Then I made a template page in FrontPage 2000 and copied and special pasted (one formatted paragraph) the info in to the template. The columns still went out of line. So I tabbed them back in line. It looks OK in normal view but to preview it the columns are still out of line. I have been working on this for 2 months and I want to get this up ASAP.

Using FrontPage to edit my webfiles, I would like to know whether or not it is necessary to save the files in the SAVE EMBEDDED FILES window that pops up when you are editing my webfiles before uploading. If yes, is it necessary to upload these embedded files to WS FTP LE so that they are added to the remote files.

On the local side of WS_FTP you need to click CHDIR and change to the local directory where you saved the files then you can click on the save settings so you won't have to find it each time. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sherrill Brown" <compunique@pivot.net> To: <RootsWeb-Help-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 2:31 PM Subject: [RW-Help] Missing Local Directory > I got a new computer and have transferred all of my files onto it via a > home network.

Nance, I could not access your web site either in Microsoft Explorer 6.0.26. I can see the message "click here to break out of frames" for only a second. However, I can see it just fine on the same computer using Netscape Communicator 4.78 and Netscape 6.2.1?????

I had to wipe my hard disk lately, again!!! At other time everything went back on correctly, but this time I seem to have a problem. I cannot get WordPerfect Suite 8 back on. It was originally for Win95, and I now have Win98. They have given Work Arounds, which worked before, but now I seem to be missing a file. Can anyone tell me what MAP132.DLL does. This is the missing file. They say to change it to .OLD, and take the one off the CD until WordPerfect is loaded, then change it back. When I try loading WP without the file, it says the Windows Messing is outdated, and to update it. I've been reluctant to do this. Since many of the files I need for my web site are in WordPerfect and QuattroPro, I am rather stuck without these programs. My computer seems to be working O'K without the MAP132.DLL, but maybe it is for something I do not use??? Cleadie B.

My thanks to each and every person who responded to my problem about viewing the Trempealeau Co. WIGenWeb page (located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~witrempe/). Only one other person stated that they could not access the site (sorry, Jo, I couldn't get the 'index.html' to work either, but I DID get it to work without the 'L' -- index.htm) In answer to David's questions, no, she is not using AOL, and also, checking the headers as described, she is using IE 5.5. Thanks for the advice, David. I wasn't concerned that she had 576 MB of RAM, as my computer only has 64 MB and it is viewing the page with no difficulty at all. My specific concern is that her System Resource level is only at 36%. Could this be the problem as to why she can't access this website? Or could it be something between her locality and Rootsweb? I have not had any other complaints, but then, if someone can't get to the website, then I guess they can't find out who to complain to, right? Duh! :~) Any other ideas?

Get FinePrint: http://www.fineprint.com/ 1. Use as a printer driver -- make it your default printer 2. Compatible with all applications & physical printers 3. Print preview (i.e. see appearance without actually putting ink (toner) to paper) 4. Duplex (two sides) -- even if your printer doesn't have it 5. Multiple copies -- even if your printer doesn't 6. Multiple pages per sheet: 2- 4- 8-up (and, of course, 1-up) 7. Booklets (i.e. 2-up, 2-sides, for folding in half to make pamphlets. You need a booklet (saddle) stapler to fasten down the middle.) 8. Stationery (watermarks, e.g. DRAFT date & time, page n of m, etc. roll ur own) 9. Forms: Forms can be created from any application. You can create a form and then print other content on top of the form as you would with pre-printed letterhead. 10. Reduction & enlargement: tell your browser it's printing on tabloid paper (11"x17") to fit that huge ahnentafel on one page, F.P. will reduce to fit on e.g. 8.5x11 paper. 11. Job save & recall (handy if your printer jams!). Save in variety of formats (to send elsewhere?) 12. Combine jobs: e.g. print from browser & email client to make one document 13.

Registration: US$39 (and worth every penny!) I can't say enough good things about this product! If you print more than a few pages a week, you need it! I figure that it has paid for itself dozens of times over in ink and paper costs. (But I do a lot of printing. Your mileage may vary.)

was she using AOL/IE? (this is the #1 problem because I get inquires all the times from the AOL users who visit my SAMPUBCO.com site. And as for her RAM memory - that is NOT the problem, since I have 320 RAM which is far more than plentiful. As for the IE version - you can find out by opening the header of the message you got from her and note this line: X-Mailer: I know you are using Netscape 4.7 that came with Compaq computer and use Win95 OS (U) (are you using Win98 or WinME?)

(g) Well, I sure wasted a lot of ink testing this, but it ALL printed on with my system, graphics, text, color adds and all. And there was no statement that 'you may not copy'. It does say 'Reproduction in any form is prohibited without prior permission.' , but that is what the web page says, not just the printout. It printed on my printer on 3 pages in landscape mode. My guess is that this is a problem with your system, not something they have set up on their website. Just my opinion, but I did not see anything worth the cost of ink and paper to print anyway.

Could SKS check out this website for me? It's located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~witrempe/ I have a researcher who has not been able to access this webpage since around Christmas. She keeps getting a "page cannot be displayed" message, even after using the Refresh button, although when she does that, she says the page will partially load for her, but not completely. I have tried to see if she can view any of the other pages within this site by giving her direct links. On these, the pages only partial load. She is using Internet Explorer (version unknown), running on Windows ME with 576 MB of RAM. She also states that her system resources are 36% free. Could this be the problem?

OK, remember a few years back, I reported that the American Bar Association (Lawyers) was cleverly keeping me from printing off something from their website? But a few weeks later, it wasn't doing it so I never figured it out. Now, there's a newspaper in India doing the same thing -- www.hindustantimes.com at HTEstates -- you click /file/print or the print icon and you get a two page printout. Pg 1 is the header logo and yesterday the picture of the Leaning Tower and some other bldg that MAY be a palace in India or the Coliseum or ??; pg 2 has a statement that you may not copy this without permission.

In my program, LeechFTP, that just means that I select the file on the Freepages server, have the folder selected on my own computer where I want it to go, and click the Down (instead of the Up) arrow. The reason you want the file on your own computer to work on it, is that you want the SAME files on your computer as you have on your site. Or it all gets much too complicated too fast. Besides Pat's excellent beginner's pages at http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~pasher/ , please see: http://freepages.computers.rootsweb.com/~neep/design/index.htm > It might be simple to build a new page and export it to replace the one > already there, but it has escaped me and I really want to do it the easy > way [for me]. Thanks and aloha from paradise, Gordon..... Gordon, you can do that too, by uploading your new page with the same file name as your old page. The new file will over-write the old one. In either case, you really do want to have the same files on YOUR computer as you have on Rootsweb's computers. Valorie

An absolutely enromous HTML file needs to be divided into several small files before uploading. Assuming the purpose of placing the file online is so others can view & make use of the data, any file that is so large one cannot upload all its parts, is also too large for ones visitors to download all its parts.

What in the world do you have in this one file that can't be broken into separate pages? While you could upload a zipped file to the website, your visitors can't use it in that format. And, there's no provision to unzip it on the server. Besides, who wants to sit & watch the icon on their browser spin & spin waiting for a 1.4 Meg web page to download? Regards, Elsi
