oh dear! I'm sorry. I can't provide you any helpful suggestions. No way to condense into 1 workbook?
Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

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!

Because books.
How long should a laptop battery let you work, in general?
I inherited a ThinkPad from my dad. He never used the battery - -always plugged it in while using it.
I charged the thing by having it plugged in, which I was told was the way to do it, and turned it on a minute ago. The battery died in under five minutes.
Laptop newbie, here. Is this a problem with the battery itself, maybe? Or am I doing something wrong (which is what I suspect)?

Probably a bad battery.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
My laptop got to the point that it was doing that. Just long enough to transport it from plugged-in-in-the-dining-room to plugged-in-in-the-bedroom.
I needed a new battery.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Amy, that's what's going on with Thinkpad too. I think it allows me to work for 10-20 minutes.
I think it is a bad battery. There may be instructions on how to "reset" the battery.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
And I could do it that way if it was within a workbook, but I don't know what commands to use to work with multiple workbooks.
You can open and manipulate workbooks from a macro within another workbook.

I've decided to learn more about this new-fangled way of laying out web pages. Folks call it CSS.
Seriously, I've used CSS to format objects, but never to place them. I'm trying to learn how to do the latter, and I've got two questions. Both refer to the page here: [link]
- Why the f*** doesn't the theremin image appear in Firefox 1.5 WinXP. It shows up in IE.
- Is there a way to position everything relative to the margins of the big white box? I'm looking to do absolute positioning, but relative to the box rather than the page.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The link to your theremin image has a backwards slash in it (it's imagestheremin.gif rather than images/theremin.gif) -- IE "helpfully" corrects it, other browsers don't.
As for your positioning question, I haven't poked around at the details in your stylesheet yet, but yes, you can -- more details after I've taken a look.

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

Your link to theremin.gif has a backslash in it rather than a slash. IE's parsing of backslashes in URLs is completely nonstandard.

One thing I would suggest before going foward is to get rid of the "align=center" attributes in your HTML code, and to put everything in the stylesheet. Trying to mix CSS styling with legacy styling is going to make things much more complicated.
