David McRitchie (subject header)
I do so appreciate your advice and will definitely check your site for
needed information. However, I was unaware of the rules of engagement pertaining to this or any other newsgroup rule of thumb pertaining to subject headers. Some of them are so incoherent that I simply skip over them. I do appreciate you taking out the time to look into my inept attempt at troubleshooting my prob. Thanx.... |

Hi Walter,
I think you just answered your own question, since it sounds like you would skip over postings yourself with missing, defective, incoherent, or non-descriptive subject headers. There aren't any rules, just guidelines in helping you to express yourself and so that you help yourself and others. http://www.cpearson.com/excel/newposte.htm http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/posting.htm and your ISP certainly would have suggestions as well, for newsgroups, though watching a newsgroup for several days before posting is a thing of the past since you can see all of the postings and can get a feeling from other postings. A few of the Excel groups have over 1000 postings a day. You just try to make up a subject header that includes keywords, such as you would see summarized in a title for a segment of reading material so one has a sense of what is wanted and what answers they might find in a completed thread. Extract Text from PDF file* Same applies to searches but there only key words, or words you don't want matter -- doesn't have to make sense to anyone but you and the search interface. Google web search: PDF text ~extract Excel -HTH -filetype:pdf Google Groups search: PDF text ~extract groups:*excel* use of ~extract will fetch related words and certainly extract OR extracting use of -HTH will help eliminate newsgroup garbage introduced by those that seek to commercialize the web based on the work of others. use of -filetype:pdf excludes PDF formatted files use of file* includes words with a root of file use inurl:edu in a web search if things get really bad -- too many low grade hits Even though those searches will find a lot of pay for solutions, there are loads of free solutions and advice available on the subject, including my pdf.htm page and the references at the bottom of it. --- HTH, David McRitchie, Microsoft MVP - Excel [site changed Nov. 2001] My Excel Pages: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/excel.htm Search Page: http://www.mvps.org/dmcritchie/excel/search.htm "Walter Copeland" wrote in message ...
