MacGroup: .doc file

[Rex Baldazo]

If those aren't able to open the .doc file, there are a couple free
open-source options.  I particularly like AbiWord, because you can
download just the word processor:

http://www.abiword.com/download/

There's also a fairly decent Mac version of OpenOffice now:

http://download.openoffice.org/1.1.4/index.html

but as far as I know you have to download the whole office suite, you
can't just grab the word processor part if that's all you need.

Both of these should be able to open even complex .doc files, though
AbiWord does have some problems with complicated table layouts from
Word.

I have had really good luck with something called icWord which I think 
was shareware found from the VersionTracker site. But I use it w/OS9 and 
I don't know if there is an OSX version. It is small and simple and 
works great.

MacGroup: Preview 3x La Tigre

[Jerry Freeman]

I waited out Tiger until it came installed (free :) on a new G5, so  
I'm working my way thru it. For the casual photographer who doesn't  
want to mess with iPhoto the lowly Preview 3x that runs on G4 boxes  
up is a bit of alright. Check the link...jf

I am looking for a photograph that is supposed to be in a 1959 issue of 
National Geographic Magazine. I can't tell that the search function on 
their Web page goes back that far.

Anne, if you try to google National Geographic Archives and then put in 
the search window 1959, you get a whole bunch of stuff. -- On the other 
hand, I do have National Geographics from the 50th at the house at Doe 
Valley, i am almost certain i have the 1959 issues,  will go there 
tomorrow to look. Can you tell me which pictures you are looking for?

Rob, I looked at that website. Now I can see that it will open excel 
and word etc., but why does it say it opens Appleworks and Clarisworks 
since they are Aplle's apples to begin with? Are there Macs that are 
unable to open Appleworks? If they refer to any computer then they 
should have left out the "on your Mac". I am puzzled.

MacGroup: National geographic

[Anne Cartwright]

I am looking at the .jpg form the CD_ROM and I can read the Table of 
Contents on the Cover of the December 1959 issue. The article I want 
"The World of Dolls" is by Samuel F. Pryor and Kathleen Revis. It 
starts on Page 817.

Marta if you have the issue and would bring it to the meeting next week 
I would appreciate it.


Also, someone please tell me how I can get the NG search to work. When 
I do  a search on http://www.nationalgeographic.com/ I cannot get this 
article. In fact when I search using Advanced Search/Exact Phrase using 
either the title  or Samuel F. Pryor, I get the following (in 0.02 
seconds) Your search - "Samuel F. Pryor" - did not match any documents.
No pages were found containing "Samuel F. Pryor" .

Likewise when I use Advance Search/Return results where my terms 
occur/in the title of the page, I get:
Your search - allintitle: "The World of Dolls" - did not match any 
documents.
No pages were found containing allintitle: "The World of Dolls" .




I can get lots of stuff matching 1959:
Results 1 - 10 of about 183 .   Search took 0.05 seconds.

When I click on one:
National Geographic Magazine @ nationalgeographic.com
... National Geographic, Oct. 1959 , 421-471. ?Reaching for the Moon.?
By Allan C. Fisher, Jr. National Geographic, Feb. 1959 , 157-171. ...
www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/0011/feature4/ - 32k

I get lots of links to things that happened in 1959; like:
National Geographic magazine: November 1998 @ nationalgeographic. ...
... The beach movie Gidget came out in 1959 , just in time to coincide 
with the availability
of new materials (such as plastic foam cores) that made surfboards ...
www.nationalgeographic.com/ngm/9811/forum/pezessay.html - 8k

And also some links to things in NG in 1959 like:
Writer, photographer, explorer: Luis Marden?s 64 years with National 
Geographic shaped the magazine.

So I went back to my CD_ROM for 1959. In the October Issue there are 
two articles by Luis Marden. One is coauthorded with Allen C. Fischer, 
Jr. and is on Cape Canaveral so this is the article mentioned in the 
Search Link (National Geographic, Oct. 1959 , 421-471. ?Reaching for 
the Moon.? By Allan C. Fisher, Jr. National Geographic, Feb. 1959)

But I can't get the article by Allen C. Fischer.

MacGroup: SFTP server

[Henri Yandell]

You should already have it under 10.2, SFTP is just a part of SSH and
if not turned on by default is just a line of configuration to the
sshd_config.

Under classic, no idea. Find an SSH server :)
