Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a little utility that emulated
the IBM function keys (F1 .. F10) on an 88-key keyboard for the Mac.
I can't seem to use any applications in SoftPC that need the function keys...
is there a way of mapping other keys to be those function keys (like Apple-8
mapped to F8  etc.) ?

Curious...

Well, if I understand your question, it is possible to reconfigure
Word so that the default tab spacing is .75" instead of 0.5". From the
Format menu select the Document dialog box. In the lower right hand of
that dialog box is a box where you can set the default tab stops
spacing. Instead of 0.5 enter 0.75. As a result the tabs will be set
at 0.75", 1.5", 2.25", etc., from the left margin. If this is how you
want all your Word documents to be set up, click the "Use As Default"
button. Then every new Word document will have the tabs set to these
settings.

By the way, RTFM, pp. 163-164.

 I don't know if this is an error or not but alot of my system icons for
things like calculator and clock don't show up. My puzzle icon seems to
be fried as well along with my notepad icon. Other icons like control panel
and chooser show up though . I looked through all of the sumex icons and couldn't find replacements..

I'm worried if this might be a clue to a depper problem.  The utilities still
work though and I have been able to cut and paste other icons in.
I'm just wondering what ever happened to the originals...

much thanks

It appears that the original poster was mistaken. Apart from his
claim, there's no evidence the "demo" was ever on sumex. There was
never such a listing in the digest, and the moderator doesn't remember
any such thing. 

Also, only a portion of the info-mac archive was put on the CD. It's
my understanding that there was a careful screening.

If you just slap a graphic on top of a text document it will end up attached
to the page independently of the text. If you want the graphic treated as a 
character *within the text* you will need to paste it into the document.

Select the graphic and copy or cut it to the clipboard. Position the I-beam
at the point where you want to insert the graphic. Select Paste to re-insert
the graphic into the document; it will be treated as a character inserted
into the text and will move as you edit the text. To do this right you should
probably keep the graphic in its own paragraph with a line spacing of "1 line";
using points for the line spacing would be tricky.

FrameMaker has this feature.  It is generally classed as a
page-layout application, but it's got a stronger word processing
facility than any other page layout program I've seen, and as good
as many word processors.  I would really describe it as a hybrid
word processor/page layout app.

This question has been asked numerous times I believe, but I have never seen an
answer to date.  I am in need of something to solve my problem and would
greatly appreciate any info and a point in any direction.

I run an unsupervised Macintosh computer lab, with a AppleShare server and the
AppleShare Print Server.  As it is unsupervised, it's become a place where
everyone and anyone they know comes to type up papers and print of hundreds of
copies free.  While it's not a big deal to me who works on the computers, it is
a problem of who is printing and how much they ARE printing.

Thus, I am in need of some program that will provide some control in this
situation.  What would be perfect would be something where I can set a maximum
number of pages for each AppleShare user name (variable by my choice) and the
Print Server uses that information to decide whether or not to let the person
print or not.  I don't care if it notifies the user or not.. just if it let's
ther person print or not.

As it is now, I have no control whatsoever.  Does anyone know of anything that
will work in tandem with AppleShare, or that will replace the Print Server for
that matter?  Anything would be appreciated..

Much thanks in advance....

Merry Christmas to everyone-

Santa brought me a program called Morph and I have been trying to get
it to  work with only limited success. The manual states that I can
open PICT files for my start and stop images, but the program seems to
have some very weird limitations. Lets say that I have a PICT file that
is called Square and another PICT file called Circle. If I double-click
on th START image "slot" I can see both files listed in the SFGetFile
dialog, but once I load one of the PICTs and try to specify a secon
PICT for the other slot, all I can see is the name of the PICT already
chosen. For example, if I load SQUARE into the START image slot, when I
double-click on the END image slot, the only file I see in the
SFGetFile dialog is the SQUARE file. What happened to the other PICTs
that ore available? I also haven't been able to use the clipboard to
paste in images. The online help and the manual are useless in
providing any insight. Can you help me out? How can I load two
DIFFERENT PICTs in the Start and End slots?

Thanks for your help.

PROBLEM: Want to make sure that nothing of your days work gets lost.

SOLUTION: Buy Central Point MACTOOLS ver2 with its nifty scheduler that
lets you do automatic backups at any desired times. Do a full backup
and configure it to do incremental backups everytime you shut your
computer down. Now you can be sure that everything you have done
during any session gets backed up and you are safe.

SURPRISE: Your hard disk crashes and a week has passed since you made
your full backup. You have created lots of new documents and put your
trust in the automatic incremental backups that are made everytime you
switch your Mac off. No problem, restore the files. But WAIT A MINUTE!
Where are all the NEW DOCUMENTS!

THE MANUAL: CP Backup does only back up files that change, not any new
files. You can't SAVE any selection criteria such as which folders to
back up or which file name patterns to ignore.

Oh. Of course. How stupid of me to expect anything else. I'm so sorry.
BTW Where is the trashcan? No not that one. The REAL trashcan.
Thank you.

Indeed.  I did just that.  So far, MYM looks very impressive.
The Quicken import is not as slick as I think it could be, but
it does work.  I really like the more advanced features of MYM
too.

Of course, I haven't actually started using it yet, so I can't
comment on the weaknesses.  The price was great though.

- When using the FaxMenu option (with Chooser pointing a Laserwriter, natch)
  the "Print" options on the File menu do not always change to "Fax" as
