I can't figure out how to boot it in safe mode. Can I do that from scandisk? Can I hit escape and do it without a prompt?

HTML question: we have an email newsletter that someone developed a Dreamweaver template for, and we basically just drop in the text etc. Is there any way to fix the column margins in the template so they don't vary when you print it out? (I mean, when one person prints it out it looks fine, someone else does and the columns are all kerfluey.)

Needless to say, neither of us working on this actually knows HTML.

Sumi: . I presume you have already installed McAfee and updated it. Cause you need to do that before going into safe mode.

Instructions for booting into safe mode.

Jesse normally html prints out vary according to people's browser settings. You can create a special print verison that has fixed fonts, margins and spacing. I wonder if dreamweaver will do that for you automatically if asked. Still won't print out exactly the same everywhere, but closer. I have my browser set up to never allow fonts of less than 16 points on screen or in print, so no matter what you do your email newsletter would screw up if I printed it on my machine.

There are limits to how much control you have over the way people choose to render your html. That is why many people choose to offer PDF versions of documents for printing. (For an example, go to the NY Times or Washington Post, click on an article and note that print is one of the choices.)

That's kind of what I figured. No big -- it's not for printing out, anyway.

Like I said, you can control it most of the time. HTML/CSS let's you specify fonts, font sizes, exact margins - all that stuff if you choose. And, the example of SOBs like me to the contrary, most browsers will honor it.

One trick you can do with CSS is have one style sheet for the screen and another for the printer. (There is even a media attribute when linking to style sheets that lets you specify which media a sheet is for. Opera is (as far as I know) the only browser that currently honors this; so in practice you would make two copies of your html under different names, with identical html, but importing different style sheets. I wonder if dreamweaver has an option to do this for you. Never used dreamweaver, but from what I've heard seems like the kind of thing it might have a template to generate.

t On Edit

Apparently dreamweaver 8 has at least some tools for doing this - though not completely automatically.

Also, apparently Opera is no longer the only browser that honors the "media" attribute.

It really just sounds like it would take more time to figure out than I think it's worth. I'm not sure if the staff person who uses the template knows what CSS is.

Hey - cell phone question here. I want to sell my old one on eBay, but I can't figure out how to make it not "mine" anymore. I've deleted all my contacts and pictures, and reset the preferences back to the default, but I can't find anywhere that tells me how to detatch it from my phone number (or delete the ringtones I added, though that's less of an issue). Any advice on how to do a hard reset on an LG VX6100?

I belive that it is something that your carrier has to do, at the same time you get your new phone activated.

Huh -- my new phone IS activated, but my old one still lists my number under the "location" menu. Guess I'd better call Verizon. Ick.
