Welcome, but you are a bit late to the party as "Effective June 1, 2010 this
newsgroup will be closed." according to Microsoft. Yves "BarrettBaum" wrote in message ... whats up to all of you boys, I stumbled on this terrific webpage.

A powerful intro...
I wonder? I am currently accessing this newsgroup by a third party, text
based usenet server (Eternal-September), and the OP appears to have accessed the server via a link from officefrustration.com (about which I know nothing, but which is one of many forums that piggy back on Usenet). Even if Microsoft pulls the plug on its newsserver msnews.microsoft.com, this forum will have a life of its own independently from Microsoft, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if those countless hangers-on (like officefrustration.com) will still be connected. Rather than gaining from the switch-off as Microsoft expects, it could possibly lose from it? Google Groups for example is probably big enough to ensure that it remains viable. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Yves Dhondt" wrote in message ...

That's what I'm hoping for.
I guess it is all up to the major NNTP service providers (GigaNews, SuperNews, ...). They serve hundreds of local ISPs and mirroring forums. If they decide to pull the plug on the newsgroups (on a request made by MS), the groups will disappear pretty fast. Otherwise, I guess they will remain up and running for a long time.

A powerful intro...
I am not sure that they would take any notice of Microsoft. Microsoft I
suspect owns the server msnews.microsoft.com. I don't believe it owns the groups, and it certainly doesn't own the material posted in them. I recall a forum microsoft.public.word.general that Microsoft removed from its server many years ago, that maintains an independent life (though it is not on the text server I have been testing). Were Microsoft able to close down the whole of Usenet aimed at its products, that would an act of corporate vandalism on a huge scale. The big difference will be that Microsoft will not longer link its help forums to the Usenet world. Frankly it was a pain when it did so and has been nothing but trouble - but it did ensure a steady supply of contributions via those forums. Without that link, the traffic will undoubtedly drop (and many corporates block NNTP access, so we will lose those too). The problem is that only those of us who have been around for a while are aware of the newsgroups. Microsoft does not give them any publicity that I could easily find. Instead it will take its users to the new forums, and the NNTP bridge they have provided will ensure that those of us who haunt the newsgroups will be able to access the users who take that change of direction ... if we can find them. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org "Yves Dhondt" wrote in message ...

A powerful intro...
The incidence of microsoft.public.word.general is becoming less frequent and
with the majority of posts coming from , when Microsoft shut down the newsgroups, there is then probably no way of them being propagated to NNTP and with Microsoft making Windows Live Mail a separate download/installation, there is no longer an NNTP newsreader included with Windows. Apart from the way that the NNTP bridge screws up some of the formatting (op in place of a Chr(13) and sometimes to periods in pasted code where there was only one in the VBE), it is not a bad way of accessing the forums. -- Hope this helps. Please reply to the newsgroup unless you wish to avail yourself of my services on a paid consulting basis.
