What's In This
Issue:
Lots of coincidences in
this issue. I guess we in the Fleet must think alike.
Without even knowing what each other was writing this month, we seem to
have come upon some common threads.
For example:
- Our Featured Article
by Tina Clarke is all about the settings you use in FrontPage to
assure your styles are seen exactly the way you want them to be seen
on your website. She briefly discusses
CSS
and then, Kathleen Anderson takes the CSS ball and runs with it.
- I happened to use
"msconfig" as an example in my "Soapbox"
article, of something you can search for
using a search engine and actually gave you the link I found.
Then in comes Hal Cardona's article on System Resources where he
suggests using
msconfig
as one means of maximizing your resources.
- Chad Welch's VBA
column this month is all about cleaning up the code that the MS
Office programs create when you run the
Macro
Recorder,
then Chas Kenyon tells us just how to use this Macro Recorder in
Word.
Ah yes.....truth is
indeed stranger than fiction. Is that the theme from Twilight Zone
I hear in the background?
But, hey, even those
who didn't mesh into our clairvoyant madness have written some GREAT
articles this month, so take your time and read them all. Stuff
like Jack Teems' article on
using
the Internet for additional storage space;
Parker Renaud's informative article on using the
Out
of Office Assistant in the Corporate/Workgroup version of Outlook;
James La Borde's excellent tutorial on the different
data
types you can assign when creating your fields in Access;
and, of course, Corey Seaton's walk-through of
installing
your Network Interface Card,
will all teach you much.
And, please don't
miss Cap'n Patt's
GeekSpeak
Translator.
Even if you know what all the terms in the articles mean, it's worth
reading just to get to know the Cap'n. Also, don't forget to check
out Guitar Man's fun
Outlook
Express Tips.
He's building an archive now, so soon we'll have a large
collection. And, last but not least, have a look at
What's

Since I've only been in

industry, I must be a Tewbie.....cuz I know I'm sure not a Nechie!
