AskWoody LoungerA little further down south, it’s not quite so cold.
And I was thinking we were west of Suny329. I looked at the location – Ar – and thought Argentina!

AskWoody LoungerThe Powerpoint viewer needs to be run once before it will assume the default PPS opening role. Until then, double-clicking a PPS file will start the Open with dialogue..
That’s not been my experience with this.
For me, install Powerpoint Viewer and then double click the file that I want to see and away it goes. I do this regularly on new Win 7 machines that are on the shop floor to display their specs.

AskWoody LoungerThank you all.
I will check out Picasa. I tried an earlier version of that some time ago but found that I had other products that would do what I wanted. I didn’t think about it for this purpose. Thanks for reminding me.

AskWoody LoungerAurally …??
Actually I want to know what the missing ones are (4 – 9) and can I interpret the final one in binary and prove that I am a techno idiot who doesn’t know it?

AskWoody LoungerCongratulations from me, too! Are you going to ‘give full details’ about just how wonderful the new job is?!
BAtcher, it is probably too early to tell. But let’s just say that the old job was not one that anyone would want to continue in and it was best that I left.
