'Bring On The Night'
Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Someone sent me a leaflet to print in a Microsoft Publisher Format. I don't have anything that can open Publisher files. Any free software out there anyone knows of that can? Thanks.
God, that's so annoying. Anyway, Create Adobe PDF Online will convert Publisher files to PDF, and it's free.
Adobe on-line does do the conversion, but unfortunately cuts off part of the printing.
The readers Daniel suggested are mainly e-book readers. Apparently most software out (other than Microsoul publisher itself) there does not read publisher files. Adobe products are an exception - Both Pagemaker and Inline will read publisher files (which makes sense you always want to be able to import the competitions product.) I'm guessing Quark Xpress will as well. Unfortunately GIMP (which ulike Quark and Xpress I have) won't. I do have a printed copy, and I guess that will have to do.
Anyway, thanks to you both for trying.
No problem. I will add that there seem to be other free online PDF creators if you don't care about the site owners (possibly) looking at the content of your Publication. Perhaps one of these will perform better than Adobe's site.
There's something bizarre happening on one of the Macs at work. The screen wiggles all around when you move the mouse. It's like pan and scan. Through an earthquake. Is it possessed? Can I make it stop?

Sounds like you've got the "Easy Access" turned on in OS9 [link] or it's equivelent in OSX [link] .
Is there a way to use grep (or something similar) that will give me just a single count of all matches for multiple files? I can do this:
grep -cirh "panda" *
and it just returns the count of the matches, except it returns one number for each file. I want the total for all files.
Bless!
You know, zoom on a huge monitor doesn't zoom so much as shimmy shimmy.
All better now.
perl -lne '$tot += grep /panda/i, split; END { print $tot }' *
Will count the number of occurrences of each word. Using grep will count the word only once, even if it occurs multiple times per line.
Thanks!
I'll have to stare at that later to figure out how it works (haven't done any perl coding in a few years).
