can I convert a note pad doc to an excel doc
by Guest Peter- 0 replies

Yes it can be done, open Excel and search the help file for "import text file" and it explains the process to you. You might also be better placing Excel related questions in one of the Excel discussion groups, better chance of getting a useful response. -- Regards - Peter "Larry" wrote: > I have a notepad doc that containe names and addresses.

Slow open/save on Word and Excel 2007 on network location.
by Guest itprohelp- 0 replies

I am having the exact same issue. We have a small remote office using Windows Home Server and redirected My Doduments folders to the user folder on the server. When the user attempts to open Office documents, it is slow to open with that "downloading" issue mentioned above. Other documents such as .PDF files are fine. Only Office docs. If I use the "Run" as Russo mentioned above, I too can open files very quickly. I tried maopping a drive letter and it was still slow. If I used the recent list, it was fast. What is the resolution?!?!? -- itprohelp ------------------------------------------------------------------------ …

Outlook 2010 Junk filter issues
by Guest pts123- 0 replies
- 184 views
I use google to host POP3 type email for a few of my own Domains. They provide the gmail interface for web based email, but I import it all to my desktop to use Outlook as my prefered email client. The google spam filter cannot be turned off, but it does a good job. So, I want to have the Junk mail settings in Outlook totally off.

Does anyone know of a downloadable reg file that can totally disable the Junk mail filtering in Outlook 2010. Or is there a r…

PC Defender in System Restore
by Guest antioch- 0 replies

Whilst having problems with a series of BSODs over the last couple of days, I had a look in system restore with the mad thought in mind that at some point it could help but mainly with the intention to check to see if I can restore at any point during the 100 Software Distribution Service 3 entries since Feb 24 2010. Going back through all points, I was surprised that there were only 4 check points and to my horror I saw that PC Defender had been installed on March 24. If this is that rogue one that has been of interest for a while, then I could find no trace in my system - probably too well hidden - but I have done countless scans with MS Se…
