Hi Margaret, ... it's at times like these that I try to take some time for phoning the company that came up with the silly idea and play just a wee bit silly ...
On Feb 1, 2008 8:04 AM, Sr Claire Edith de la Croix <srclaireedith@...> ... Thank you for your concern. This is a German program (bought by a US company ...
... Margaret, I hope I didn't express myself in such a way as to offend you. I was trying to make fun of the software's message, never of you! Sorry if I hurt...
sr Claire Edith, Of course you didn't offend me! Are you expecting smileys perhaps? I was just taking the welcome opportunity to continue complaining. As for...
There will always be jobs for translators and interpreters, but how we work is changing. Here's one person's view of the market in large industries and...
Hi Margaret, ... it's not so much about spoiling their day or getting back at them (that might be a bonus), as about making them finally stop and *think*. ...
... These is one thing that these prophets forget. Unless you have a proper original, there is no proper translation. I doubt any machine translation can be...
... Oh, I don't know. Gibberish can be translated. "Oh, you mean, you want a proper document in the target language? Picky, picky, picky ..." ... Like the one...
Dear All The first couple of Autotext entries I created are fine, but beyond that Word 2000 doesn't seem to remember any of them, and I need to re-create them...
Hi Allison, ... No idea, but as a workaround you could use an autotext tool like AutoHotKey. Then you would also be able to use your autotext entries in other...
... . AutoText, where you press F3 after it, right? And not AutoCorrect? Have you saved those entries to the normal.dot? AutoText is fairly easy to copy from...
... One should be aware that while in Word the several windows are open by only one instance of the program (msword.exe), the Excel workaround will open each...

... ******************************** Where does Word 2000 keep the Auto Correct entries? I really wanted to copy my Word 97 entries to a Word 2000 machine some...
... . They don't make it easy, that's for sure. Which is why using a third party utility to keep them in makes a lot of sense. Try this: How can I import and...
... ******************************** Thanks. But I've known that page for years. It doesn't work. I can export the entries to a big table, but then Word 2000...
... Maybe so. But they probably haven't got as much experience as you have in using their CD drive as a coffee cup holder. Margaret [Non-text portions of this...
... . Oh, boy. Yep, Word never misses an opportunity to perplex, as they say on that site... Copying the .ACL files to the right folder doesn't work?...
... In Word 97, I'm pretty sure I know what that file is. I have been making backup copies of that file for 7 or 8 years. It resides in the /Windows directory,...
... That is correct. In my system, every instance of EXCEL.EXE takes ~60MB of memory (according to Task Manager). Although I think any relatively modern...

I can see why Luciano is reluctant to innovate by going AHK or Direct Access. He has invested a lot in his AutoCorrect entries and is loath to lose that...
... ******************************** Actually, no. I have a sample Auto Correct file for AHK right here (contributed to the list by Marco Amans), I could write...
I suggest, Luciano, that you give AHK a second try. I have never found it jerky, as you say. And programming it is easy. Julio [Non-text portions of this...
