Virtual PC7 Update
For those waiting for VIrtualPC 7,...still a little way off. From MacNN http://www.macnn.com ---quote--- Microsoft to ship Virtual PC 7 in October Thursday, July 22, 2004 @ 2:05pm Microsoft today announced that Virtual PC 7 is currently expected to ship in October, but would be delayed further if the company is unable to ship the Windows XP Service Pack 2 in the expected early-August timeframe. Microsoft's Mac unit, the Mac BU, told MacNN that the company would wait until Microsoft released the final version of its much-anticipated Windows update to deliver the most secure version of Windows XP to Virtual PC users. Based on this, we anticipate that Virtual PC 7 with Win XP Professional and Home will release to manufacturing in September and be on store shelves by early October. Virtual PC 7 with Windows 2000 and the Standalone and Upgrade versions will be available a few months after this debut. The Mac BU also said that any further delay in the Windows XP SP2 release date would also delay Virtual PC 7 accordingly. The G5-compatible upgrade was originaly announced at Macworld San Francisco in January 2004; initially, it will ship as a standalone product (Virtual PC 7/Windows XP) as well as in the Office 2004 for Mac Professional Edition. ---end quote--- Enjoy!

Re: vicars
OT (sort of) My eldest daughter was asked when applying for a Physio post in America to enclose her Birth Certificate which was in Newcastle UK, her qualifications which were from WA. She got a letter back asking her to go to the American embassy in Perth to get a signed certificate from the embassy to say that Australia was a country where the 'predominate'- sic- language was English. At that point she decided to get a job in the UK.

I have entered an incorrect address for a mail server under Accounts Account information outgoing Mail server and I do not know how to delete it :-(. I have had this problem before and I know that some where in the 'guts' of Unix it is storing these Mail servers. can some one help. I see that in 10.3.4 there is a button to do this function. Is there an acceptable patch that allows one to load 10.3.4 yet? Mac

I've just been listening to a Channel 7 news report citing the US 9/11 report on deficiencies of knowledge of terrorist threat in the US during the Clinton/Bush years. It said (as close as I can remember) that the Presidents Bush and Clinton lacked the intelligence to make informed decisions regarding the risks. Work that one out! Regards Reg

Exporting images from Powerpoint ?
Hi folks, Does anyone know how to get the images off a Powerpoint presentation as individual JPG's ? I must be dumb or blind because I cannot see it in the help menus. Or perhaps it is not in the help menus phew !! Regards, Stephen Chape

I must be dumb or blind because I cannot see it in the help menus. I don't know if there's an official way, but I've had some success with copying and pasting the images into a graphics app then saving the resulting file. My usual method is to open the document in OpenOffice, save it in the OpenOffice native format, unzip the OpenOffice file (they're really just Zip files) and extract the graphics. This is clumsy, but easier then manually copying,pasting, and saving a large number of images. It has the added advantage that it doesn't involve decoding and re-encoding the image, which is important if you're dealing with a JPEG image of already marginal quality. I'd suggest you try copy and paste first, not least because OpenOffice isn't exactly staple fare on the mac at the moment. If someone can say no, you idiot, here's the easy way I'll be delighted, as this is something that's been irritating me for a while. Some advertisers will insist on ignoring our accepted formats list and send their logo etc as part of a word document. Sometimes we have people send a word document with just an image in it. My favourite is when I ask for them to send just the image as a separate attachment ... so they create a new word doc, insert the image, and send us that. -- Craig Ringer

Or perhaps it is not in the help menus phew !! You don't mention the version of PowerPoint, but in vX and 2004 at least you can export a series of jpgs by selecting JPG in the Save As menu. The options button gives finer control as to the resolution / compression etc. I've had luck with some difficult slides just by doing a screen capture and converting to .jpg with Preview also. Hope this helps. Steve
