Punishingly Intricate

At the bottom of the screen, are there tabs that say something like "Design View" and "HTML"? Can you get to the code that way?

There is. It's labeled "True Code" but if you've defined and applied a style it just shows the name of that style. A

What about saving to HTML in Word and then pasting the HTML source directly into the HTML view in RoboHelp?

I'll try that!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Yeah, I don't think I ever used styles, so I can't help you there.

Punishingly Intricate

WHOA! Hang on. It looks like I can actuallly just import the Word file and it preserves the formatting. der. (It does turn the tabs into spaces which is irritating but I can live with it.)

All is well that ends in pizza.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

This is a silly, stupid question, but USB ports on laptops are the same size they are on desktops, right? That is, I can plug an external desktop HD into a laptop with a USB cable?

Well, there is USB A and USB B types of ends. Plus, there are a couple flavors of really tiny USB that are on camera's and phones. [link]

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

P-C, all that Omnis says is true, but the short answer is yes.

What amych and omnis said. The flat end of your USB cable will plug into any other flat USB port on any computer. It's the other end that's a little device dependant.

Oh, and since I'm here....

I was looking at downloading OpenOffice for my new (well, new to me) Mac Mini, and now I'm very confused as to what "Aqua" is.

Aqua is the name of the interface that mac uses (I think that's a good way of describing it). For the mac, look into NeoOffice. It's built on the OpenOffice platform, but it's a standalone app, rather than using X-11.
