MS Word documents

[Guest]

When I open a saved word document the printed date atuomatically changes to
the current date. How can I prevent this

You would do better to post this to a MS Word newsgroup. It is not a Windows XP problem.
However, I am assuming (you don't give much information) that you have used a automatic date
insertion in your document.
That feature always reads current date from the computer.
You should not use that feature if you want a fixed date to appear.

Hi: John
I would first check the Word Document by doing this.
Open the Word Document then in the Toolbar select: Insert > Date and Time
and make sure Update automatically is unchecked.

Thank you.

He didn't change the subject line. If you thread your messages, it
should be obvious that he's replying to the previous message in the thread.

No, it's not that simple. I read messages threaded here, but I also don't
save already-read messages. Most active newsgroup particpants don't, because
it takes far longer to browse through all the messages in an active group
like this one than if you see only the messages you haven't read.

Over and above that, quoting enough of the message you're responding to to
put your reply into context is standard netiqette and is the polite way to
reply.

I know he didn't change the subject line. If you notice, I asked him to
quote, not to stick to the subject line. If as I do, you set your newsreader
to see only new posts, especially in a high volume group, and you get in in
the middle of a thread, then I expect you don't want to have to delve back
into already-read posts to see what's going on. And I gave him a link to
tell him WHY usenette ettiquette is to quote.

Please be careful with your attributions. Not only only did I not write the
lines quoted above, I replied to them, agreeing with you.
