Did I put my question in the right place?
I am a little confused about this group's organization. I found the URL
http://www.microsoft.com/office/comm....docmanagement somewhere. That's what I have saved as a favorite. Last week I asked a question about numbering, and Stefan Blom gave me a link to a Word numbering discussion group as part of his answer. This week I had another question about numbering, so I followed Stefan's link and posted my new question there. But I don't quite know how to find that group from the "Word General Questions" page or vice versa. It seems that there are two independent menu structures on the left side of the page. It occurs me that maybe I should have posted the question here instead of in the numbering group. What is the convention? -- Barbara Hill |

If you're going to be using these newsgroups often, you'll find it much more
efficient and convenient to use an NNTP newsreader such as Outlook Express, which will allow you to easily see all the hundreds of newgroups available on Microsoft's news server. For detailed instructions (not that it's at all difficult), see http://www.gmayor.com/MSNews.htm. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks for the suggestion, Suzanne. I'm afraid it won't work for me. I
installed (or turned on) Outlook and followed Graham Mayor's instructions. When I tried to download the newsgroups, I got an error message, "Unable to connect to the server." My guess is that the corporate firewall is at work here. But I infer from your message that people do look in newsgroups other than the 8 or so listed in the menu that I think of as the "primary" one. And so posting the question to the numbering newsgroup was fine. -- Barbara Hill "Suzanne S.

Those of us who mostly answer questions do use newsreaders and are
subscribed to multiple NGs (I read about 10 of the ones I am most knowledgeable in); the Office Community offers a small subset of all the available Word NGs; you can get a complete list of all the Microsoft NGs ordered by language at http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx and in strict alphabetical order at http://www.microsoft.com/communities...s/default.aspx. In the latter, you can scroll down to microsoft.public.word and expand that branch. In the former you have to choose English, then Office and Desktop Applications, then Word. -- Suzanne S.
