MS Office Forum / Word / Document Management / March 2008I configured OE for newsgroups..what is the name of this newsgroup
I went to http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/expertzone/newsgroupsetup.mspx and followedd the instructions for setting up Win XP newsgroups. In the Newsgroup Subscriptions dialog box, I typed "microsoft.public.windowsxp to display all the Win XP newsgroups. When I downloaded them, there were a gazillion different groups. Can you tell me both the name of this newsgroup and also how to tell the name of any newsgroup? Thanks in advance, sheana This newsgroup is microsoft.public.word.docmanagement. To sort out the gazillion newsgroups, in the Folders pane in OE, click on the folder for the Microsoft news server (whatever you've called it). This will display all the NGs you've subscribed to (if any). Click on the button for Newsgroups..., which will open the Newsgroups Subscriptions dialog. In the "Display newsgroups which contain" box, type ".word", and you'll get a list of all the Word NGs. To eliminate the foreign-language ones, type "public.word". If you scroll through the list, you'll get an idea of the hierarchy and figure out appropriate search terms for locating NGs for other applications. Note that some (such as Windows) are for specific versions; all the Word NGs, however, are for all versions (except that there are specific ones for Macword).  SignatureSuzanne S.

If you click the first message in a thread with the thread collapsed, the whole thread will be copied (as I've discovered to my dismay). SignatureSuzanne S.
