Word Newsgroup Address???
I have just figured out how to use a newsgroup reader (Forte Agent) to read
this discussion group after using the internet for the last 7 months. I cannot however, figure out which address matches this one, there does not appear to be one for "Word General Questions (it would be nice if there was a chart matching the labels of the internet site with actual newsgroup addresses). The internet site is very straight forward with it's labels but I can see advantages with Agent. Can someone share the actual address for this particular group and any other hints with a newsgroup reader? Thank you. |

This group is
microsoft.public.word.docmanagement If you scrutinize the link while in the web interface, you will see the newsgroup name, which will always be in the format "microsoft.public.word.[something]" That should help with other groups. Yes, the disjunction between web interface and newsreader interface can be annoying. You might find this article useful/helpful: http://word.mvps.org/FindHelp/WhichNewgrp.htm And possibly the second half or so of this one (from Fighting Newsgroup Spam) http://word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/AccessNewsgroups.htm On 7/30/05 12:35 PM, "Jeff C" wrote: I have just figured out how to use a newsgroup reader (Forte Agent) to read this discussion group after using the internet for the last 7 months.
