I'm new to this and have a couple of general questions. First of all, I
posted a question on 1-12-07. I received a response which I printed out and have subsequently lost. I wanted to print it out again. Is there a way to go directly to the date or to my user name instead of scrolling through the entire list? DSL isn't available here yet and scrolling through using dialup is a time consuming nightmare. Also, the response I received to my question on 1-12-07 was simple to understand and solved my problem quickly. Is there a way to thank the person who responded to my request? |

Google archives these newsgroups.
You can go to: http://groups.google.com/advanced_group_search Put *excel* in the "Return only messages from the group at this location" box and enough info to identify your post (date/author) If you register with Google, you can actually respond in that same thread. I searched the *excel* newsgroups for posts authored by you and found a few including: http://groups.google.com/group/micro...f122c03bfae4d7 or http://snipurl.com/17qbd willie091028 wrote: I'm new to this and have a couple of general questions.

You don't say how you access the newsgroups.
I'll guess that it's via the web interface. If that's true: Answer 1: Enter your username (willie091028) in the Search for box, select the group from the dropdown list (Excel General Questions) Click the [Go] button When I did that...your 3 threads listed, one from 01/12/07 (I would post the link, but I see that Dave F already did) Answer 2: You can thank a helpful poster right in another post in the same thread. At a minimum... Select the helpful response post and click [Yes] button for "Did this post answer the question?". That lets the poster, and everyone else, know that the question was answered by that post. I hope that helps. *********** Regards, Ron XL2002, WinXP "willie091028" wrote: I'm new to this and have a couple of general questions. First of all, I posted a question on 1-12-07.

I may be missing something really obvious here but how else do you access
newsgroups other than via the web? Do you mean accessing them via an RSS aggregator? Dave -- Brevity is the soul of wit. "Ron Coderre" wrote: You don't say how you access the newsgroups.

Lots of people use newsreaders--even Outlook Express will work.
