Works Great! Just what I needed. Thanks! Researcher is quick to
respond.Very knowledgeable.

This seems like a viable solution - although I was hoping it would be
a native feature of word and not require macro programming.  It seems
such a basic feature I'm surprised it's not built in to the GUI!  I
will attempt to code an extension to the GUI to avoid requiring other
users to code their replacement text.  Wish me luck!  (I have
extensive experience coding excel macros but no experience with word
macros or the word object model)

Thanks for all your help. Great work and fast response. This was my
first time using answers.google and I am quite happy with the result.

The speed of response was great.  The specified router is being
installed in our equipment site tonight dunig scheduled downtime.

Worked like a charm.

How elegant:)  Thanks!

Very helpful.  Wish there where more examples out there, but I think
maniac did a great job assembling the information that is available.

This Researcher was *truly* helpful and got me exactly what I needed.
Many Thanks Maniac!

Answer fit my needs with a few personal tweaks

I'm certain Maniac's answer would have been even better if I had the
opportunity to properly answer the first question. Given I couldn't,
maniac has done a great job of hitting the high notes.

Rapid, articulate, and accurate.  What more could I ask?  Thanks  maniac-ga.

This was great I was able to use the references and logic to complete it.

Excellent, but with my limited computer expertise I wuold appreciate
further comments as follow:

I am sorry to have taken so much time to answer you for your excellent
comments. Since both questions are similar I will place the comment on
both:

I have dowloaded and tried to understand urls:

http://www.fujitsu-siemens.co.uk/rl/servicesupport/techsupport/boards/Motherboards/MicroStar/MS6309/6309-3(ami).pdf
and
http://www.amptron.com/manuals/PM-9100/m571v32.pdf

but while some of the information is useful even to me who am not a
computer expert, these sites are more for young peoples who seek to
pursue computer careers. I would therefore appreciate if you could
explain in LAYMAN TERMS what the following items mean:
"Wpcom" "LBA-mode", amd "Blk-mode"and "Plo-mode" 

If this is too complicated maybe you can answer the following: I would
prefer not to use win2000 or higher, except in an arrangement where I
can switch between the higher windows and win 98 or95. The reason is
that I am too old to learn how to handle an  operating system not
based on DOS and might get stuck with problems I cannot handle. Could
you explain to me what can widows 2000 and higher handle, that windows
98 cannot?

Another clarification I would like to get is is about the cdrom.
Before opening the computer to change the jumper and convert it from
sec. slave to master I decided to change the following lines in the
executive.bat of the root directory and in the executive.bat of the
c:\windows\command\ebd directory. The lines:

loadhigh C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\mscdex.exe /d:cd003 /m:10 /e /l:x
LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd003 /L:%CDROM%  

were changed to:

loadhigh C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\mscdex.exe /d:cd004 /m:10 /e /l:x
LH %ramd%:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:mscd004 /L:%CDROM%   respectively

This caused the cdrom to load consistently (except for the 1-st two
times). Is this an appropriate fix or coincidence?

Also, can I now connect a 3-rd hard disk on the free connection of the
daisy which has the cdrom? If not can you inform me whether the new
computers have a provision whereby more than two hard disks can be
connected? What are the interfaces IED and ATA and do I need both, one
of them and which?

Thank you very much in advance.

This is exactly what I wanted.  Thank you for the great detail!

Of course I like to think that the match preferentially burns methane
and the stink, but I like the idea that sulfur dioxide covers the
smell!

very good answer

Perfect! Thanks maniac. This information will be very useful for my
customers to know.

As  iasked a solution for the program the researchers should compile
and execute the program first before sending it. So that there could
be no doubts.

i'd rather get answers instead of instructions on how to search for
answers.  the limited amount of information was disappointing.

Just what I was looking for, thanks!

This is just what I needed.
