I forgot to add that some email programs will leave a space at the end of each line, so replacing with "one space" will sometimes make 2 spaces between the words.

After you copy it to Word, in Word go to Edit, replace In the "find what" line type ^l (that's a small L after the other symbol) It's the Word "code" for a "Line Break". You can find other "secret codes" by clicking the More button, Special button on the Find box in Word) in the "replace with" line type "one space" You can then click "Replace all" but it makes one big paragraph Or you can click "Replace" or "Find Next" when you only want it to replace some of them I use your message below to show what I mean about when to click Find Next or Replace Courtney sitnah@cox.net ----- Original Message ----- From: "Nancy & Ted" <hootmon2@earthlink.net> I feel there must be an easier way to do this than what I'm doing. <find next> <find next> If I copy something from an email, for example, to a MW page, how can I get <replace> the words to flow across the page to the margins, rather than me having to <replace> make those short lines fit line by line?

Hello Barry, I downloaded firefox ver. 3.5 the other day and just about every time I go online to view a website, I find Work Offline is checked. I can uncheck it and visit as many websites as I want, but when I sign off the internet and then sign back on, I have to uncheck the Work Offline again. What is causing this problem? I never had it until I installed ver.3.5. Lloyd

Nancy, I looked around the internet, and there are lots of questions on that, but no good answers. There's a $14.95 program that will do it. I do the same kind of editing to place more info on one page, changing the margins, resizing fonts, etc, deleting impertinent data, etc. Woody =================== hootmon2@earthlink.net writes: I feel there must be an easier way to do this than what I'm doing.

I have tried doing "Select All" and then resticking it in the margined blank page, but it just sits there again.

I feel there must be an easier way to do this than what I'm doing.

Well, my husband just went through all of the process he had done before on helps for this, and this time it worked! Who knows why.....but problem solved! Stay tuned, I'm sure I will have another one soon! Nancy

Hi all, We are still dealing with trojan problems and I am going to have to Smack my husband Hard if he doesn't call a repair man! In doing all of the scans and fixes, we have somehow lost any images on the internet page. We know we are connected to the internet, because we can get emails, and we can connect to pages (and then later dump the memory), but the page is just blank. What got unclicked, or how can we get anything to show up now? Thanks! nancy

Hi Courtney, I checked the Samsung website, then followed your instructions and changed the resolution with the slider.  It was the wrong proprotions so I changed it back to 1024x768 where it was to start with.  Whatever happened, the toolbar and status bar are staying where they should.  Maybe I just needed to let them know I knew they were misbehaving.  <BG>   Whatever, it worked!

I should have said this is a 4-5 year old computer using XPHome. The monitor is a 22 inch flat screen. I looked at the task bar under properties. Those items checked are Lock Task bar, Keep task bar on top of other windows and Group similar buttons. Could it have something to do with the resolution? When I plugged it in, a screen opened up and said something about the resolution, but I wasn't expecting it and didn't see what it said. I think it said 1024 x 768 (not sure about the last two digits.)

If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck then the chances are it's a duck .... i.e. a scam to get you to give away personal details. No reputable company will contact you to verify account information like that, and certainly the bit about 'account will be permanently closed' is again a tactic by spammers to frighten users into falling for the trick.

You're right, it's a scam. Ignore and delete And keep up the good work - always be suspicious of any email that doesn't seem quite right.

We, our two sons and one daughter have yahoo accounts. Yesterday, we received something called a Yahoo Alert that stated (paraphrased) within two weeks we had to provide updated information or else our account would be permanently closed. I write for advice 1. because I find no way to contact Yahoo customer service and 2. no other family member has received such an item. Can you tell me if this is some time of scam? How might we determine whether this is valid? I have had this yahoo account for more years than I can remember, and have never before seen such. Any help/guidance appreciated. Rick Powell

There has been a discussion of this issue on the Ancestry Site Comments Message Board--it seems to be a brower issue. You can read the thread about it here: http://boards.rootsweb.com/topics.ancestry.ancsite/10155.4.1.1.1.1.1.1.1/mb. ashx IE 8 in part seems to be the culprit.
