Your removal from the VICUG-L list

Tue, 3 Jun 2008 00:01:27

You  have been  automatically  removed from  the  VICUG-L list  (Visually
Impaired Computer  Users' Group  List) as a  result of  repeated delivery
error  reports from  your mail  system. This  decision was  based on  the
automatic error  monitoring policy in  effect for  the list, and  has not
been reviewed  or otherwise confirmed  by a  human being. If  you receive
this message, it  means that something is wrong: while  you are obviously
able to receive mail, your mail  system has been regularly reporting that
your account did not exist, or that you were otherwise permanently unable
to receive  mail. Here is some  information which may assist  you or your
local help desk in determining the cause of the problem:

- The failing address is gcav-vicugl <at> M.GMANE.ORG.

- The first error was reported on 2008-05-27.

- Since then, a total of 87 delivery errors have been received.

- The  last reported error was:  5.4.7 554 5.4.7 [internal]  exceeded max
time without delivery

PLEASE DO NOT  IGNORE THIS MESSAGE. While you can  of course re-subscribe
to the list, it is important for  you to report this problem to your mail
administrator so that  it can be solved. This problem  is not specific to
the VICUG-L list, and also affects your private mail. This means that YOU
HAVE PROBABLY LOST  SOME PRIVATE MAIL AS WELL. Anyone  trying to write to
you  during the  same time  frame will  probably have  received the  same
errors for  the same  reason. The  VICUG-L list  is but  one of  the many
people who  may have  tried to write  to you while  your mail  system was

Sharing large files

xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" xmlns:w="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:word" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

It would seem in today’s world we couldn’t have enough free large file sharing sites. So here is one more site.

Sharing large files

Sharing large files with someone in your office isn't difficult. Sharing big files with nearby friends and family is also fairly easy.

But when recipients are scattered around the country, things are more difficult.

You shouldn't send huge files via e-mail. That's bad etiquette because it slows recipients' e-mail. You could also reach the inbox's storage quota. Or, an Internet service provider could strip the large attachments.

So, if you have files to share, try filemail. You can upload up to 2 gigabytes of data. It can be in multiple files.

Then, enter your recipients' e-mail addresses and a message. They will get an e-mail so they can download the files.

You can set time and download limits on the files. Also, the files are encrypted when they're uploaded to ensure privacy.

catch my radio shows.

TO VISIT TODAY'S COOL SITE, GO HERE:
www.filemail.com

Yep it’s the cool site of the day from Kim Kamando for May 20, 2008

Fonts In Office 2003

Good morning, VICUG listers,

I've recently installed Microsoft Office 2003, Student and Teachers Edition--which I didn't remember I had purchased years ago until it turned up in my spring cleaning, and which, since I'm no longer a student, has saved me the expense of purchasing Office 2007 now. I'm running Windows XP, SP2.

I write to ask for help with a problem I'm having with fonts in MS Word (and possibly with the other Office programs as well, though I haven't checked).

In Word, invoking the Format Menu, then choosing Font brings up a list of only four fonts:

Times New Roman
Device Font 10cpi
Device Font 12cpi; and
Device Font 17cpi.

WordPad, on the other hand, displays a huge list of fonts, which reside in c:\Windows\Fonts.

Can anyone tell me how to tweak Word (or Office) 2003 to obtain fonts from this directory? I've looked through the Tools, Options dialogs in Word without success; perhaps I missed something.

Thanks in advance for any information you can provide.

John Luttenberger

inappropriate answer

I would like to refute Stewart's message to this group. If I recall, I 
said I was a relatively new computer user. Folks, I'm learning to use 
jaws through the university of hard knocks. My father baught jaws for 
me so I would be able to use a computer. I found the literature that 
came with jaws very difficult to comprehend, and I still do. I am sick 
and tired of people who respond with jargon when all I want is a simple 
answer to a question. I find the people at freedom science fiction to 
be much less than helpful. I felt Stewart's answer to be unhelpful, 
because he didn't explain to me how to go about making the changes in a 
way i understood. OK, so ya hit shift something or other, but then 
where the heck do ya go. Don't leave me hanging, man. Anyway, I just 
wanted to give my side to things. I am sorry, however for calling the 
guy and idiot.

Clarification of the term "ONline" Storage

I never heard of external hard drives being referred to  as "online 
storage", but to clarify, I'm looking for off site storage where I 
can safely back up masses of data. I'm in the process of putting all 
my music on a 1 terrabyte drive and I have several other USB drives: 
all of which I want to safely back up at some distant site. Lots of 
these sites are screen reader unfriendly. I was/am asking which 
services blind folks find user friendly and easy to use. I use WindowEyes 6.1.
Thanks again,
Judy

Cell phones

Hi. I have a friend who enjoys texting on her cell phone. She however 
has low vision and her old phone needs replaced. She can't seem to find 
one that she can read the text on. Does anyone have any suggestions on 
phones that are easy to read?

Thanks,

Mick

As Long as We're Warning Each Other---XP ServicePack?
