MVP question
Why aren't there any MVPs over in microsoft.public.office? I see lots of questions, but few answers and none by an MVP. TIA

You'll find 'em hanging out in the more-specific Office newsgroups (e.g.,
microsoft.public.office.misc). See http://groups-beta.google.com/groups...07412&expand=1 -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) & Security sf wrote: Why aren't there any MVPs over in microsoft.public.office? I see lots of questions, but few answers and none by an MVP. TIA

microsoft.public.office isn't a MS newsgroup. You might be seeing it on
your news server because it used to exist and they (or someone else) has kept it going. Use the MS news server (msnews.microsoft.com) and you will get only the current office newsgroups. -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "sf" wrote in message ...

My experience with some of the MVPs in microsoft.public.outlook is that they don't respond at all to certain questions, and are not as "active" as the MVPs in this newsgroup, to put it mildly...
For example, I've posted there several times about fixed-width vs. proportional fonts settings in Outlook and how Outlook handles that (because it seems buggy to me), but have never gotten a reply... So kudos to all the MVPs in this newsgroup, who do their best to assist users. Ivan "sf" wrote in message ... Why aren't there any MVPs over in microsoft.public.office?

Have you posted to an Outlook-specific (vs Office) newsgroup, Ivan?

yes, microsoft.public.outlook, and microsoft.putlic.outlook.general. I surely don't want to have to call ms support and pay $35 to find out about a pretty basic issue...

So, what's the issue? I tried searching Google Groups for that NG and
your handle, and came up with zilch. Were you using a different name? -- Gary S.

Hi Gary,
the most recent post was he The question was this: OL 2000 What is the significance of the proportional / fixed-width font options under International Font settings in Outlook? Outlook always chooses the proportional option anyway. Furthermore, how does Outlook reconcile the setting under "when composing and reading plain text" vs. the settings under International Fonts? Say I have a plain text message in ISO 8859-1. How does Outlook decide what font to use to display the text? (This seems to be implemented in a bugy way... based on my experience, the general plain text setting only applies to Central European encodings on my system, but it is ignored for all other encodings. This is probably because my system codepage is Central European, but that's just a hypothesis.) Now that I think about it, the proportional / fixed-width settings also affect Outlook Express, so I might ask in an OE newsgroup about that... Thanks, Ivan "Gary S. Terhune" wrote in message ...

As for OE, see any of these archived threads from OE6 newsgroup: http://groups-beta.google.com/group/...rch+this+group Look especially for posts by Jim Pickering and Michael Santovec. In OE (and, I'd assume, in OL), reading all messages in Plain Text = chosen proportional font. -- ~Robear Dyer (PA Bear) MS MVP-Windows (IE/OE) & Security
