Marty,
Yes to first.
For second I feel that you're saying you could find things from Wikis easily with solutions. I wish I could share. For example 'grid valid' in full text search (BTW I think it was the place to search for something) got me to 2 more pages none dealing directly with my question. Anyway from there I got to microsoft site for knowledgebase Q135625. Same old bug info with no 'workaround' (I wouldn't comment the time I spent for pages to show up - it's my particular connection problem). Only thing I learned from there was MS doesn't use 'Comments' feedback at all (I wrote workaround there years ago) :)
If I were just a fox.wikis user than I would be sitting and waiting for MS to find a solution. Funny UT has lots of workarounds on the subject. I tried various other things in that 'find' link and always got 0 topics ('grid valid' was just tried to see if I were doing search wrong). Would you tell me how to do a simple search on wikis. Isn't something like 'excel memo' a valid search entry. Also I'd be pleased to learn how I could ask a question there. TIA.
