The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Question: I have several Word files (on my Mac) that I need to convert to PDF. There's no 'save as' options for this, and I can't open the Word files from Adobe Reader 7.0 or from Preview.

Help? Could someone tell me how to do this? Or even do the file conversion for me?

Thanks.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Anne, the Print window should let you save as PDF.

Mostly lurking...

Anne, if you don't have the print option, you could e-mail me the files, and I could convert them for you.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Anne, the Print window should let you save as PDF.

In the Print window, there should be a pull-down menu next to "Printer:" and if you pull the menu down, one of the options should be "Create Adobe PDF."

Thanks, everyone! PDFs have been achieved.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Hey. New board.

Could somebody who has a clean-installed or archive-and-installed (rather than standard upgraded) Tiger check the folder /System/Library/LaunchDaemons and tell me if the have something that contains the word 'apache' or 'httpd'? I'm thinking I should have something there, maybe, but I don't.

I did a clean install, and there's nothing there.

My experience from doing 15 years of this stuff is that upgrades should be avoided. A&I or a clean install are always to be preferred.

Hey. New board.

I did a clean install, too. Upgrades still use the old method of starting processes, which is why I wondered.

So, I got that email about the battery--I have to pull the battery out of my computer ot find out if it's one of the affected ones?? That sounds...dangerous. And will being without a battery while I look at it do anything to the 'puter?
