now that I found THIS, Im set!!

Thanks a lot!!

Do you know if this is just a feature of Excel? I noticed some time ago that I cannot have two Excel doc windows open on the screen. I tried cascade and both tile modes, but no go. I do not know how to use Excel tabs yet, which sounds like a nice feature, but sometimes I want/need to be able to have two docs side by side to work between them. Is this not possible in Excel? Have not yet Googled the Excel question, but will.

Should work in Excel without any troubles. Maybe it depends on what version you’re using.

Glad you got it worked out. The registration emails are normally fired off immediately, and so I don’t know why it wouldn’t have worked for you. Unless your spam filter caught it.

Nevermind. I stumbled on the real registration page via the forums table of contents, so now I am registered.

The spam buster on that page does have the “obscured” letters, but at least I can listen to them so I know what they are if I cannot see them clearly. Still better than the rest of them.

I had been trying to register from the button on this page which transfered me to a WordPress registration page. I just realized that it will not email me (I think) because am already registered with that site. “Stupid is, as stupid does.”

I guess I am not very patient. I registered for this site so I can track comments, but have not received an email password. I then tried the login and selected “forgot password” to prompt a new email, but still nothing.

I am used to these sites sending confirmation emails before I can blink. Is this site different?

I did just find out how the spam prevention works. Works well, in fact, much better than those goofy spam busters that I sometimes cannot read, and as a result, type the wrong word or nonsense letters/symbols.

Thanks for the tweak, works great. When I test drove it, I noticed that I cannot right click on a group of Excel docs to close the entire group, as it is “grayed out.” Word docs, and whole folders are no problem to close as a group.

Anyway, thanks again, the groups of 2 or > is a big help for Mr. Monk types like me.

Last, but not least, I opened a new tab for this page before I started typing this comment, because losing what I have written if I need to Google or refer to a different site while posting is really frustrating. (Sorry, left those last three words out on the first post, hence the “Monkism.” I usually review/edit before I post, but forgot to proof this post when I could not find the “submit comment” button on the first page.)

So, when I thought I was finished, I could not find a button to post. I looked at the other open window and found one to the left of the “find out how to track new comments!” below this text area. Is there a time/size limit for writing posts? I guess I will find out when I try to copy/paste this to the other page.

Thanks!

Use TweakUI if you did not upgrade to Vista yet and it does the same thing without messing with registry.

Good call… forgot that TweakUI included an option to do that.

It’s really a feature that you either love or hate. I think for casual users who don’t switch back and forth between windows frequently it would be nice to have, but power users would probably find it to be more of a burden.
