Re: PDF bar in Word 2004 ???
I asked the same question about Word v.X and Excel v.X and don't recall getting a response. When I close it in Word, documents move appropriately. In Excel, the spreadsheet moves up so the top bar (the only place to grab and move a document) is hidden by the top tool bar. I have to move that bar out of the way, resize the window, then move the tool bar back.

Re: Receiving faxes-follow-up
OK . . . I have successfully received a few faxes. But: no notification/alert sound, and no emails. Now, the modem is stuck in a Disconnecting... loop and I can't seem to affect that. I've tried Nework Preferences (and force-quitting that) and Internet Preferences, to no avail. Loggin out doesn't do it. I seem to be in the unusual position of having to restart the PowerBook.

Receiving faxes
I'm using an Aluminum PowerBook G4, and my DSL service just went down. So, I'm using the phone line that usually connects to my fax machine to go online via dialup. I've set up Faxing to receive, Modem to notify me of incoming calls when connected to the internet, to play an alert sound when receiving a call, and to send me an email notifying me of the fax. A friend sent a fax a while ago, and I didn't get any notification (that I'm aware of; I may have been away from the computer at that time). I called him and he said he sent it and got confirmation, so I checked my Faxes folder, and there it was. I don't know if I was online at the time, but I'm assuming that I can't be online and receive a fax at the same time. Is this a correct assumption? Does anyone know what the Subject, Sender, or body text will be/contain when I'm sent an email that a fax has been received?

On Mar 24, 2005, at 2:36 PM, Laurent Daudelin wrote: Are you running OS X? If so, are you sure your email address is properly identified in the Print Fax preferences? Yes and yes. If you're receiving a fax, it is possible, since your DSL is down that when the OS X fax software received the fax and tried to send the notification, there were no network, since the phone line was used to receive the said fax. So the OS doesn't use Mail to create that email? (If it did, it would sit in my Out box until I went online again.) Thinking about this, it's kind of weird, unless one has both a DSL connection and a phone line plugged into the Mac (which would tie me to my desk, rather than my usual roaming around my house using Airport). A fax comes in, over the only line available, and the OS tries to send an email by some means other than the default email program. It can't, and generates no error message? Not how I would have programmed it, but they didn't ask me. I would suggest you try again when your DSL line is up again. -Laurent. -- Ah, but then I won't need it. Since I have to use the fax phone line to get online while the DSL is out, I want to receive faxes on the PowerBook. Once the DSL is back, I'll plug the phone cord into the fax machine again.

Need help creating a live link in email
OK -- fourth try. This time I'll leave out anything resembling a real hyperlink, and I've double-checked that this is a plain text only message.. I'm resending this because my previous message contained a live link (or something else that made it appear to be multipart/alternative:, and the list accepts only plain text. I hope this one goes through. -- I've been trying to create a live web link in email, both in Apple Mail and Entourage (MS Office X). I've looked at some HTML tutorials, and seen the underlying code when I receive a link like this: (I can't put in the code, since that will ensure that my message gets bounced again). What's visible is something like Click Here and the underlying code is a specific lengthy URL. The specific coding is something I got off of a good HTML tutorial (and works on the web, but not so far in email). But whenever I send an email with code like this, the actual code is visible (both for me in Mail and Entourage, even with View HTML enabled) and for other recipients. I use Mail almost exclusively, but I set up my account information in Entourage so I could try it out. In Entourage, I set up outgoing mail to be HTML. I even tried using open and close html tags in Mail, but it had no effect. When others send me a link with this type of code, it shows up properly for me in Mail (i.e., all you see is Click Here but clicking takes me to the correct web page in Safari). This is even true when people have copied what I wrote and sent it back to me. Someone else using Outlook Express said there's a button you can use to create links like this. Rather than download yet another email program I don't want to use (and would have to use in Classic), is there any way to accomplish this in Mail or Entourage? Thanks!

Re: Need help creating a live link in email
Almost, but not quite. I want a link that reads Click Here or some such thing, not something that looks like a URL. I want it to flow within the sentence. I know it's possible I see it all the time. It's a snap in Windows Outlook/Outlook Express. Even friends who barely know how to use a computer do it with ease. AOL has a little heart icon (or so I'm told; I haven't used it for many years) that makes it a snap. But it seems that in OS X, neither Mail nor Entourage can do this.

Aside from Apple loyalty, and the cool factor, which may be negligent as the router is often in a place where the casual visitor to your home may not see it and therefor not be impressed by your cool factor, is there a compelling technical factor for using an Airport over any of the other good products on the market ?

Re: Fake email
Tom, I think that was just (bad) luck of the draw. Spammers mass mail out to common first names at any domain name they get their hands on. So, if that email address is something like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] they just stumbled upon it. For this reason, many people use non-sequential numbers after a name in email addresses. Another way they grab email addresses is by searching web sites. So, if you have a web site that lists your email address, they can get it. You'll notice that I haven't taken any of these measures, but that's partially because I've had this email address for many years, and it's out there among friends, family, business associates and colleagues.

It actually misses more than that (i.e., allows junk through every now and then). More important to me are the false positives (legit mail marked as junk).

Re: 802.11g base units besides AirPort?
For me, ignorance may have been bliss. On Mar 29, 2004, at 9:59 AM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Lynksys will work, as well as any others. THe biggest problem i've seen is that most of the non-Apple units fail horribly at 1. allowing Appletalk (ie for printing, filesharing, etc), and 2. Apple interfaces.. I did have an SMC unit (dunno who'se chips it runs on) that actually had a set IP# for configuartion, so you could just http: right into it to configure. but it still refused AppleTalk, which meant that I had to manually connect to a printer in order to print. Considering that the cost difference is only about $80, it wasn't worth the hassle of going to a printer to connect, resetting my appletalk , rebooting, and hopefully getting a connection.. I never had to do any of this. My LaserJet 2100TN (with Ethernet interface) is plugged into one of the Ethernet ports. I just print to it from any computer on the wireless network. Never had to configure anything on either SMC unit. And then, I still couldn't do Appletalk filesharing to another Mac on the network because Linksys (as well as most of the others that I looked at) refused to offer routing of Appletalk over the ethernet-wireless bridge. File Sharing also just worked. I had no idea whether AppleTalk was being used, and never dealt with IP addresses. All this hassle just to save $80 on a product I would use EVERY DAY? I don't think so.. I sold the units, then went bought a $149 brand new Airport base station, which works perfectly with everything I have, fully integrated, fully controllable, and hey, it even looks cool. But hey, to each his own For me, range was an issue. The SMC has about twice the range of an ABS, and was half the price when I bought it several years ago. For some reason, though, my new PowerBook G4 (with Airport Extreme card) didn't have the same range as my old iBook did with the older SMC unit. The new g unit gave me a bit more range.

Not only that, but the SMTP worms are only the latest threat, there are plenty of older and different pieces of malware out there, and while a Mac cannot be infected by Windows code, it can spread it as described above. Only if one manually forwards an attachment, right? Also, while there aren't any OS X virii yet, there will be. I used to think the same in the System 7.5.1 days and didn't bother with antivirus, until I got hit by the Autostart worm which after going unnoticed for a week or two rendered most of my documents damaged or useless (It randomely replaced ones with zeros).

Re: Upgrading
My LaserJet is connected via Ethernet to my router. I print to it via Ethernet or Airport from any of three Macs on the network. The printer uses Ethernet, but I can't print over the network unless AppleTalk is enabled in Network Preferences. Harry On Jan 28, 2004, at 11:48 AM, Tom Roth wrote: Are you network printing or direct connect? Some routers will work with AppleTalk if you have it plugged in to one of the ports but not over the wireless connection. For example, I've got an Apple LaserWriter 320 that connects with a wire to the serial port on my PB3400 and I use AppleTalk protocol to print to it. If my Netgear supported AppleTalk I could plug the LW320 into a an Asante EtherT to make it a network printer and then plug the EtherT into the router. I could then printer to the printer from anywhere in the house via my wireless connection in my PB. -tom -- From: Harry D. Corsover Subject:Re: Upgrading What is AppleTalk needed for?

Michael Richardson On thing many of us overlook is Keychain. Right there in the system, it can save passwords and other things. I can also give a somewhat partial recommendation of Passwords Plus from DataViz. It's a Palm application that also runs on the Mac (OS X only). The partial part is that it stopped working for me (didn't recognize it's own password on the desktop, but works fine on the Palm OS) and I emailed DataViz about this (having gone through their suggested fix online). It's been several days and I haven't heard back from them yet.

Re: Panther and Canon digital Rebel

Anybody on the list using the camera or printer with either Panther or Jaguar? Is so what have been your experiences? It looks like Canon primarily supports Windows - not much mention of OS X. Thanks. If what passes for tech support from Canon is any indication, I'd stay away from their products. I have a Canon USB scanner. I had to jump through some web hoops before even being allowed to send them an email. I got a canned response that was not at all helpful (directing me to irrelevant tech documents). I was then allowed to send them an email, and got another canned response, advising me to do a couple of steps I'd already done. When I wrote back telling them that, I never heard from them again (except for a survey asking me what I thought of their tech support). I've repeatedly asked for further help, and not heard anything back. At this point, I'll have nothing to do with Canon again.

Re: Mail error anybody?
On Jan 16, 2004, at 10:41 AM, Laurent Daudelin wrote: John, The mail error messages I was receiving were because your mailbox was full, or over your quota. You should check with your Internet service provider what the limit is. Usually, it's a size limit, e.g. when the total size of all emails in your mailbox on your provider's server reaches a certain limit, the server will refuse all new incoming mail. To avoid this in the future, try to connect to your ISP more often to check your mail. With all the spam sent all around, your mailbox can become full very quickly, depending on the limits set by your provider. -Laurent. Another possible factor is how you have your advanced account settings set up. Often, there are options to leave mail on server for one day/one week/one month, etc. If you have a small mailbox quota and get a lot of mail, this could keep your mailbox full or close to full all of the time.

Re: Static discharge and the PowerBook

I feel a very slight tingle, but haven't noticed anything that I can trace back to that. If you are feeling a continuous tingle the problem is leakage current in the power supply. Because of capacitance that exists between the otherwise isolated AC to DC line power supply, a small amount of the AC line voltage leaks into the DC output. In a desktop computer this current is conducted to ground by the ground wire on the AC cord, but on a laptop there is no ground wire. When I go running and come home and use my powerbook at the kitchen table with my feet in sweaty socks on a ceramic tile floor, my body provides the path for this leakage current to get to ground. The left edge of my tiBook frame has lost its paint because of abrasion from my watch band. When skin brushes up against bare metal, a slight tingle can be felt. Anodization is non-conductive, so an AlBook without scratches should not tingle your skin if your body is grounded. Paul Thanks, Paul. I don't get a continuous tingle, just a slight momentary one that tells me that I've just discharged some static electricity via the PowerBook. Once that happens, there's no further discharge or tingle. Having been used to the old clamshell iBook, the aluminum PowerBook is a new experience (in a variety of ways).
