Search this forum?

[Sarah]

In the past, I have searched this forum for keywords. I
remember it working once. Now, I cannot figure out how to
do this. The area above the column of subject lines would
change. Instead of Expand All, it would say Search.
Clicking that link brought up a form to enter keywords. It
was very efficient. Anyone know about this?

Press F3.

Actually, there is a built-in search function exclusively
for this forum. You recommemded MSN Search, which searches
the Web. I use Google to search the Web. The Web is
actually not what I want to search, in this case.

Where could I ask about how to search this forum, which is
searchable, as are many other forums. Do these forums have
any general how-to-use help page or any "authority
figure," so to speak?

Thanks

You are using the web based reader, I presumed that you were using =
Outlook Express. To subsrcibe to NGs follow this link =
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroups/default.asp it =
is much easier to use. HTH

First, replace your web interface as your newsgroup newsreader with Outlook
Express. Then just use the OE Find command. So much easier.

I did, and THANK YOU!

[Sarah]

That's for sure!

I see that you are still using the web interface, though. Planning on
switching later?

Um, as soon as I can figure out all the buttons. Also, I
put in my real email, and now realize that it has to
get "bogusized."
And by the way, I cannot tell the difference between the
two kinds of posts. How can I tell?

[Sandy]

OK, I finally figured it out - mostly. Thanks for your help, as I would not
have known about modifying the icons for sending (at least not for a year or
so!) I removed some and moved others. What power!

I am really curious as to how you can tell Web interface users from OE
users. All the posts seem to have the same format, etc. Do you have psychic
powers?

[Thomas Wendell]

When in newsreader, click once on message and press Ctrl+F3
If you find this: "X-Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000" , that's
the web interface.....

You can tell from the headers, right click a message go to properties and
click the details tab it will show you there. If they are using the web it
will state Newsreader: Microsoft CDO for Windows 2000. You have used OE6 for
your message.

Hi Joan

Also the CDO postings do not have Re: in front of the Subject.

I think Will was referring to the view you get using CDO, not the OE view.
On that forum view, the RE: comes and goes, depending on the poster.

[Joan Archer]

Thanks Adrian I only use OE so don't know what the CDO looks like, just know
from the headers when someone is using it or OE6.<g>

Hi

I was referring to the OE view. Access to the CDO Interface is possible =
via Help and Support - subsequent postings could therefore have 'Re:' =
attached to the replies. No replies initiated via the CDO Interface =
have 'Re:' in front on the Subject.
