That makes sense. I keep thinking "Have to nudge the record--wait, CD--wait, Hard drive!"
Oh, wow. This place looks great. Oh, I feel like a witch in a magic shop.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Quick question in Word.
I'm doing a mail merge with labels.
When I use the Word wizard I'm able to set up the main label doc, and then the record source. But when I run it, the merge stops after one page.
I vaguely remember that I need to set up up the main document so I don't populate a single page as Avery 5160, but instead set up up the first label with the data source codes and then it replicates out to the end of the data source.
But I disremember how to do that.

Does each label have the field thingie that says "next record"? If not you have to propagate the fields. (there is some sort of little icon in the mail merge toolbar)
If you click on the "abc" icon to view the labels, can you see everyone?

Thanks, Sophia.
I was able to figure it out once I got out of the freakin' Wizard and just went through mail merge toolbar.

The wizard sucks. Always use the toolbar.

Is there a way in Google Docs spreadsheets to have multiple Google Docs Forms feed into a single sheet, or even to multiple sheets within the same document?

Any recs for good basic NAS?
I'm looking at this one. Basically I'm looking for one-touch or automated backup for our multiple computers with redundancy. Any media server functionality is a bonus.

We were talking about the Xara graphics program earlier, so I thought I'd let people know that the company is selling an earlier version for $19 [link] It's very useful, and really not that different from the current version. IIRC, the main difference is that the latest program that exports drawings as html. It does that, but the code sucks.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks for the Xara heads up. I think I can justify that on my budget.

All is well that ends in pizza.
