How do I set up my Mac to default to using Bean as the application to open all .Doc files? I've tried looking in Help, but all the keywords I can think of lead to dead ends, like setting up Mail as my mail default.

I installed Nisus Writer Express a couple weeks ago as an experiment, and it changed something so that all my .Doc files open in Nisus, so I know it can be set. I'd know how to change it in Windows, for sure. And I'm sure it can be done under OSX, but damn if I can figure out where to do it....

Do a "get info" (command-i) on a .doc file, change the "open with" to Bean, and then click the "Change all" button. At least in Tiger.

Thanks, Daniel!!! That is exactly what I needed!

I have to say, I'm liking Bean a whole lot -- it's damn fast and gives me exactly the minimal functions I really want.

this may be a stupid question but I can't find an answer anywhere! I'm using Word2003 and some of the hyperlinks I've created are not working. They are pointing to the correct location (to headers within the document) but when clicked the cursor goes to the top of the document instead of the target.

I've tried removing the problematic hyperlinks completely and relinking them and that doesn't work.

And some of the hyperlinks in the doc do work. so irritating!!!

any ideas?

Because you all suck and gave me no feedback I went ahead and bought the snazzy headset. Now I just need someone to talk to...

Good luck with that now that you've told us that we all suck...

iPhone question: I am currently an AT&T customer and am on a family plan with GF. If I were to buy an iPhone, and GF were to stay on her Razr, would they make us get off the family plan? In other words, do both people on a family plan have to be using the same equipment/services? I don't want her monthly rate to go up just because I want an iPhone.

Kristin and I are on a family plan and the iphone added with no problems. You'll have a $20/mo charge added for he iPhone unlimited data. Others than that your plan will remain unchanged.

My experience was exactly as ND described. Also, we had to give up a 17% discount that Joe got for being in the Army.

I bought one (8 GB)!!!! SQUEE!!!! I went to the mall near my house first but they only had 4GB, so I went to the one in Santa Monica (3rd St.) and they had the 8GB. Another dude was there buying one and he said he'd been trying for the last week, so I'm feeling lucky that I was able to pick it up on the first day I tried to get one.

Cingular will be able to make the changes to my account at night, right? I want to wait to activate it until I'm on my Mac at home. It's already torturous to look at it all day and not be able to play. I want to do the whole deal tonight when I get home. They better be there to do it!
