Apparently there is a fault on at least one of the web portals which
reproduce these messages that I was not aware of, as I never use the web
portals. You may find it simpler to do as I and a majority of the regular
contributors do and access the NNTP server directly - see

they had been posted anyway, so there are multiple entries of the
same content. I regret that, but was following the instructions sent
to me by the system.

I use the date format "February 2, 2009" with all my other word
processors. With MS Word I tried using Insert, Date and time, and
find a number of date
formats listed, but this one is not there.
I would also like to create an icon in one of the toolbars at the
top of the
screen to automatically enter the date in this format (I have
other word processors that do this easily - even old word
processors).
Version: MS Word 2002 running with Windows XP Pro.
Thanks
