7/5 Anybody understand today's dilbert? I don't know what a "loofah" is.
The dictionary meaning doesn't make sense to me in the context of the
strip.
r/4 M$ Word question: I want to create two columns in a Word
document and be able to paste in only side of the text
and still be able to type in the other. Eg;
text comment
text comment
text comment
-MS doofus
\_ make a table. -tom
\_ I could do that, but if I want to paste an entire text
I would have to clip and paste paragrpah by paragraph. Tedious
but do able. -MS D
\_ uh, what are you talking about? you click in the cell,
and paste the whole text. I just tried it, it works. -tom
\_ um...I think he wants to paste into an entire column,
not just one cell in a column.
\_ if the stuff is in an Excel spreadsheet it will
do that. -tom
\_ um... Format>Columns? Or is that too easy?
\_ learn MS Word Basic scripting language
\_ How many times do i need to repeat this answer for all M$ questions:
Download to UNIX machine. Create document columns.
Upload to windows and import into M$ Word.
\_ And to save some dufus the trouble of putting this, i'll go
ahead and put: "But that's not easy for the Windows people
in my office to use"
\_ To which I'll go ahead and reply: "spend the 45 seconds
and make a CGI out of it"
\_ And then I have to support a friggin CGI and host forever.
To which I say, "No fucking thanks!"
\_ uh, if you don't want to support it, you don't have to.
\_ ratbert's offering to be used as a scrubbing sponge. -goetz
\_ Figures, goetz is the only one here who can understand English.
\_loofah is actually Latin, derived from luffa.
\_ in a manner of speaking. it's a 19th-century neologism.
\_ "loofah" is a type of sponge -- it is actually the dried fiber
of a squash-like fruit/vegetable. --chris
