Subject: Indexes in Microsoft Word for Windows
Date: 24 Jul 92 17:06:59 GMT


Can Word For Windows automatcially generate an index from
a file containing the strings and headings that specify
what should go into the index (as you can do in WordPerfect
using the Concordance Index facility).

I know that you can manually mark each index entry, but
that is such a laborious way of creating an index.

Any help much appreciated

I moved all of me software from a 386s/16 to a 486/50 and now I'm
getting inconsistent behaior when I login to my home machine.

I will get weird responses from the unix side like it can't determine
the terminal type when I login, but not every time.

Is there a timing problem with WinQVT, or the ODI drivers when
running on a 50Mhz machine???

Here's what I'm running:

Dell 486P/50
8mb ram
DOS 5.0
Win 3.1
WinQVt/Net 2.6 (I have heard the latest is 2.7, but have not received it yet)
SMC 16bit ethernet card (version 4.1 of there ODI driver)

Any ideas????

Since you are not sure that you may look at the wrong place, why you are making a definite statement like that.  It isn't fair.

Anyway,

	You can setup a postscript printer in Windows to print to a file.  Then you just take the file to the PC has a postscript printer attached to it.  Make sure you delete the two control characters - one is the first character in the document, and the other is the last character in the document.

  We are using Microsoft Project for Windows version 1 on a 386

transfer into the task form.  The scheduled start and finish dates in the

reports that each project is either more than 100% complete, or it is 
completed to the current date.  
  How do I get the program to read the scheduled start and finish dates
from my lotus file?  Please send any ideas.

Well, i wonder whether Lotus word proc division is listening...
 
based on the comments thus far, i think i'll pass up this upgrade.
My major complaints all surround the equation editor, and Lotus has
done nothing to fix this.  You might as well "borrow" the MS Word
eq editor and link to Ami via OLE.  At least then you can get multiline
multifont equations.
 
I would like to see a speedier package, but the comment from users don't
indicate much increase.  More to come on this i suppose.  Mail merge is nice
but I've only used this once.  
 
I agree with the comments above: this shoul dbe APro 2.1.  And give reg'ed
users a discount on the upgrade.  
 
This hearkens back to an article i read a few years ago.  The software
companies know you won't spend $495 on a package.  So they invented this
competitive upgrade system.  Once you're in the system, though, they ask
you to pay for an upgrade a yera. After a few years, you've spent that 
$500 after all.

  This was indeed my problem.  I wasn't running version 2.6.  I
thought I had seen a post by someone saying it didn't work in 2.6
also, so I wasn't in any hurry to install it.  I have since installed
it and every thing is working great.  BTW, I like the enhanced fonts

The NCSA/CUTCP support for RCP is minimal and works for simple file

No good for backup purposes.

Of course, since full source is available, anybody could add the
recursive directory support.  In theory.

Hi, everybody:
	I have a few memory related questions to ask you.  I have a
386sx-16 with 2 mb ram.  Today I used NDW Sysinfo to check my memory
usage.  It will show you a barchart of 4 categories.  Each category has
2 groups.  One is called discardable, the other is non-discardable.
What do they mean by discardable?  Also it will tell you how much
discardable and how much non-discardable memory each program is using.
Here is a few items i got from sysinfo
	Task		Discard	Non-discard
	Nwin2.dll	46,544 	32,608
	Progman		85,184	13,536
	Siw.exe		57,776	35,920

Look at the progman, its discardable memory is far more than
non-discardable.  if discardable really means you can get rid of it,
then how can you do it?  the same thing with SIW.EXE
Anybody has a clue.


Thanks
