I hope this group doesn't taper out
Every time a web forum comes along, the usenet equivalent dries up. I
hope that doesn't happen to this one (I realize it's not really usenet, but it can sure look like usenet). I seem to be the one launching most of the recent questions, which is really odd considering the number of Word users out there. |

I hope this group doesn't taper out
Although traffic has decreased since Microsoft turned off its server, some
people still come here for answers. For now, it seems as if this newsgroup, as well as other ones, will survive. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "Paul" wrote in message ...

At this point, this *is* Usenet; Microsoft has shut down its servers, so the
groups are carried only by other news servers. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "Paul" wrote in message ...

You appear to have posted via Google Groups - you can access the newsserver
directly e.g. http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm The traffic is light but we are still here. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Paul" wrote in message ...

I really prefer the Google Groups access to usenet compared to a
newsreader or webforum. Sigh. On a different note, I followed the MVP team link, and for the first time, saw faces for those who have provided invaluable help through the years. Wow. Stefan, shouldn't you be there?

Not sure what you mean by the "MVP team link," but I'm listed with the other
Word MVPs he https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/co...ompetency=Word. I haven't supplied a photo (yet) on that page (or an "avatar" in the Answers forum, for that matter). For now, I don't mind being a bit anonymous. :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "Paul" wrote in message ...

There's been a lot of discussion about that page--whom it should include and
what it should be called. What it basically is is a list of contributors to the site, or at least those who have submitted contact info to the Webmaster; the section "About the Contributors" does state that. Those include some Office MVPs and others who are not Word MVPs (or not current MVPs at all), and it is not a complete list of Word MVPs, so the title of the list in the blue sidebar should really be changed. For a list of the actual current Word MVPs, with the information they have provided to be public-visible, see https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/co...ompetency=Word Stefan's profile is at https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/pr...-35AB1A603C7C; mine is at https://mvp.support.microsoft.com/profile/Barnhill -- Suzanne S.

Even "contributor" is a difficult concept, since one could argue that I have
contributed to one article on the word.mvps.org site in the sense that Daiya Mitchell refers to me in the article "Outline Levels and the Document Map." :-) -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via news.eternal-september.org) "Suzanne S.
