I copied in some text from a pdf file and pasted it into Word. I have Windows XP with Word 2003. When I pasted the text, it puts hard returns at the end of each line. Is there a simple way I can replace these returns with a space and no return so that the text flows as it should? Thanks for your help. -- Jeff A. Rosiek

Windows Genuine Advantage - reports Windows not genuine
by Guest Gerry- 2 replies
- 213 views
XP Pro SP2 Windows is a OEM install and been running fine for the past 4 years and has always passed a WGA check. The most recent update to WGA wiped out my video driver which resulted in the system booting with only a VGA display. I reinstalled the video driver and now have the proper display, but WGA continues to report that Windows is not genuine. I ran through the validation process and received a pass, but WGA continues to tell me my OS is not genuine. I restored the entire drive from a backup prior to installing the latest WGA but I am still getting the not genuine error. How can I get things back to normal?

FIrewire 400 connection between notebook and workstation
by Guest penciline- 2 replies
- 221 views
I inadvertently posted this in the Media Center newsgroup . . . What I want to know is how to connect my notebook and my workstation such that I can record the video signal from my notebook (a specific window on the notebook) onto the hard drive of my workstation via a firewire connection. I imagine that this type of connection vs. an S-video connection will enable the audio and video signals to be synchronized. Is this possible or should I be using a screen capture software on my notebook to record directly to the notebook's hard drive. If so, what software is recommended? (Adobe Captivate?) Sincerely- -=- penciline -=-
