Hi John,

Do you know which product from VMWare is free?
I need to have Win98 running on a VM and would like to use VMWare
instead of Microsoft is possible.

Susan,

Did you know that the VMWare virtual machines thing can CLONE your
existing
system into a virtual machine.  You get everything that you now have,
but it
is running in a virtual machine.  Once you do that you can (for example)
install the  2007 office version and test that completely out in a
virtual
machine.  BTW that is all free stuff and more or less point and click
"just
do it".

Could someone check the following bug for me?  I haven't installed 2007
yet
-- can't have it and 2003 on the same system and my husband has my other
system tied up right now. 

If you set Outlook 2007 to check spelling before sending a message, it
goes
through the motions, but actually sends the errors. This happens only if
you
are using plain text formatting. You can use plain text, but you must
press
F7 to run Spell Check instead of relying on the automated option. 

Both options are in the Options menu -- don't know what group that
equates
to in 2007 though. 

Just set both options: check spelling before sending and plain text and
then
send a message with a typo to yourself. 

Susan H.
