Excellent idea, now we can let a lot of people in the Machesney Park area know that good help is close at hand! That billboard is very visable and attractive in my opinion. You won’t ever have to worry about tattered graphics or faded paint.

I’m excited to be able to share some the great educational events that Entré provides to so many more people than just our clients. All of Rockford should be able to benefit from our low cost service department and our Free Luncheons.

I am looking for a network solution that will significantly help us to conserve energy. I am especially interested in a technology that could wake up a machine for sanctioned activities; such as remote access, anti-malware scanning, online backups, BlackBerry redirector, etc. We have just installed VIPRE Enterprise, which I believe has the option to wake up a machine for anti-malware scanning. However, we cannot utilize that function because a number of our users regularly access their desktop remotely via Remote Web Workplace, which requires their workstations to be powered on (and not in system standby or hibernation). I understand there may be a Citrix solution that can do this, but I’m not sure what it’s called. Also, System Center Configuration Manager 2007 has been recommended to me, but I’m not sure that we need it or how it works to conserve energy. What does Entre recommend?

P.S. Kudos to Entre for your sustainable initiatives. It is fantastic to see that on your web site home page!

Sharing or Clearing customizations done in Word

The question came up about “resetting” a machine after a student uses it …

There are two files that almost all customizations are stored in: Normal.dotx, and Building Blocks.dotx.

SHARING
One of the nice enhancements in Word 2007, is that this sort of customization is now easier to share, or distribute, throughout an office environment. Say, one person, the “guru”, sets up a bunch of AutoCorrect (and/or AutoText content, or Building Blocks) to allow instant insertion into a document; like the company logo, or disclaimer text, or a footer with the filename-path, etc. All that needs to be done to share these items is to copy the Building Blocks.dotx file to each person’s machine (into the correct folder). By the way, this similar idea has always been (and still is) true of templates, which remain a vastly under-used feature of Word.

CLEARING
All one would need to do to clear virtually all customizations, is to delete the normal.dot (or normal.dotx) file (and the Building Blocks.dotx file). Upon the next startup, Word will rebuild a “factory” version of the normal.dotx file.

Unfortunately I was unable to attend the MS Office 2007 Lunch N Learn, however I’m happy to respond to any general questions attendees may have regarding the product.
