US credit card companies are very helpful in matters such as this
because US law requires them to be.  There is no such law in Canada,
so credit card companies there are not nearly so helpful.  I have
credit card accounts in both countries and always try to use my US
account if there is any possibility of problems.  I have had to ask
for refunds in both countries, and it's much easier in the US, even if
it is clearly just a clerical error.

IMHO, this is a major failing of Excel.  It may be a marvelous macro language,
but it doesn't do me a damn bit o' good if the documentation is vague or
incomplete.

My particular complaint stems from writing macros that talk to more than one
worksheet.  I had to call Microsoft technical service twice and talk to two
different reps before someone offered a usable suggestion for a path syntax  
that would prevent the macro from writing to the macro sheet itself, rather
than to the (user-specified) worksheet that the macro was supposed to
address.  And of course the syntax for addressing remote sheets is explained
so poorly in the manual that I'm still not sure if their tech reps' solution
is present in the documentation.

Ran into the same problem the other day.  I had thrown away my system
folder & re-installed
system 7 ('cause I wanted to, that's why! :-).

Apparently, Word has it's own font & other system gizmos that it
installs.  By throwing away
the system folder, I had also thrown away a Word font called MT Extra.  I
couldn't print
formulas from Equation editor.  No error messages, no nuthin.  The file
just disappeared :-(

After re-installing most of Word 5, the dang thing *still* won't print. 
But this time I at
least get an error message.  "Postscript error".  Like *that* says a lot.
 I'm getting pretty
tired of Word 5.  When's the next release due?

Word 4 does have the ability to select all. There are two ways to do this:

By mouse:	Move the cursor all the way over to the left until the arrow
			points toward the right. Hold down the Command key and click.
           
By keyboard: Type <Command-Option-M>.

These should be both covered in the manual and in Help.

************HOWEVER***************

There is a better way to do what you are looking for!

I would strongly suggest you look into learning the basics of Style
Sheets.
To do the same thing, all you need to do is change the Normal style and 
all text should reflect those changes.

Styles are a VERY powerful formatting tool that will help you immensely 
once you get the hang of them. Pretty handy when you get around to 
writing papers or resumes.

Word 5 has some really nice features, but if you can, I'd suggest you
wait 
until Word 6 comes out. (One really nice improvement over Word 4 is Word 
5's manual, however. But I don't think this should be a deciding 
factor...) 
Hopefully Microsoft will have finished putting all the features they have 
in Word for Windows 2.0 into the Mac version. Automatic bulleted lists
and 
easy icon-driven table creation and editing are really nice features and 
should be worth the wait.

Heh, this user's RasterOps 264/30 card does a dynamite job of displaying

I use Persuasion 2.1 and More 3.0 in addition to PowerPoint.  I think,
in this field, that PowerPoint is overdue for an update.  It's
advantage is compatability with the Dos/Windows version via a
translator supplied by Microsoft that runs under Apple File Exchange.

Persuasion adds the ability to manipulate the text for slides in a
competent outliner; and, more importantly, the ability to make global
format changes to existing slides and have them update.  In
powerpoint, this requires changing each slide that was previously
made.

More is my program of choice because of its versatility in the
outlining area, and my preference for it's rule based slides.
However, the learning curve for More is steeper (but worth it).

It is possible to use programs such as Canvas and Deltagraph Pro to
create slides, also, but I feel that dedicated slide programs such as
Persuasion and More are more convenient.

Good Luck!

Bob.

the new apple cd 300 drive (double speed, photocd compatibility) is able to
send audio data to the scsi port.  older drives are not able to do this,
thought i understand that the only thing preventing it is rom code in the
drive.  somebody who felt like hacking sony's roms might be able to get the old
drives to send audio through the scsi port.

the catch is that the drives will initially only be available as internals in
the new multimedia machines, which have mono sound output.
