It becomes automatic after my old computer used to crash every 10 seconds, ctrl + s used to be almost as common as ctrl + alt + delete!

...and then my Excel crashed, telling me my hard drive was out of memory - yeah sure, only 6.79 GB left...

I guess it's because I copy and paste the diagrams from Excel to Power Point - how do I empty the whatever-it-is part that stores those copies?

Mina, I wish at least one of the Italics
would give a straight answer on the new smileys.

We were told they'd be available on Monday.
I assumed they meant *this* Monday, i.e. today.
I still don't see them, though. If we're not going
to get them at all, just say so, and I'll remove
the tags for them from my PS.

smiley - erm

Titania, try using the insert menu in Power point rather than copy and pasting, it may be more time consuming but it reduces the chances of the nasty red crosses that microsoft has a habit of replacing your pictures with! smiley - winkeye

Mel smiley - hsif

Hi Paul, where did you see that they would be available from Monday?

Mina, I saw it in Post 35 in the
"An Unexpected towel" thread.
Actually, you were the one who
posted it. You said something about
Monday being the day for a new
skin, and I figured the new smileys
were part of the package.

Earlier in that thread, Jimster
had alluded to children who find
their Christmas gifts before Christmas.
So, does this mean that the new smileys
will be released just before Christmas?


Psst!
