How to sms/text message my group of friends (various: Verizon, Sprint, Cingular, T-Mobile, etc.)?
Q. I have a group of friends I play cards with - who want to get a text message on the afternoon before the game - to confirm the game start time for that evening. What's the best FREE way: How can I send to them as a 'group' (list) - about 25 different people on various cell phone networks? alternatively: I'm willing to copy n paste the text if necessary to avoid charges (I just dont recall who is on which cell phone network necessarily). So, it doesn't necessarily have to be sent as a group mssg. (it would be nice, though). Thanks!

A. Create a "Mail List" in your "Yahoo Mail" account. Instructions below. Most celluar carriers offer a method to send a short message from an email account to the phones, like for Verizon it is @vtext.com. t-mobile is @tmomail.net. Cingular is @cingularme.com. For Sprint it is @messaging.sprintp cs.com. In all cases the phone number must be 10 digits and include the areacode. You will need to know what carrier your friends are using, but it once you set up the list you won't have to remember. Instructions for setting up the Mail List: What are lists and how do I use them? Lists are groups of people to whom you regularly send the same email. A list makes it simple to send an email to… [cont.]

In Excel, how do I put a date in a cell and have it show up in other cells and then create a printable report?
Q. 1. What I am trying to do is input a date like "01/01/08" in cell A1, and then have it to show up in cells B2, C9, E14, etc. But when cell A1 is blank, I want B2, C9, E14, etc., to remain blank as well. 2. Next, if I have a group that for example is named "cars01" in cells A2 and A3 though N2 and N3, I want to be able to have that group print out along with the comments for "cars01" that is in the workbook but in a different tab to print by itself. I am hoping there is a way to do this without highlighting, copying and pasting. Perhaps be able to click on a box or something like that and have it print. I would greatly appreciate any help on this matter.

A. any help? i can help you out on #1 copy&paste this formula in all those cells =IF(A1="","",A1) if you get a number answer like 39448, then you have to format the cell as a date. - copy Cell A1 - select B2, C9 and the others...i guess Ctrl-Click would be the easiest way (hold your control key down as you click on the cells) - right click on a highlighted cell - click paste special... - click formats another way is to use the paintbrush icon. or just right click on each cell and format it as a date. as far as #2 goes. you might need VBA. possibly a new question with more details. if you format your data properly (based on the date cells...it doesnt seem like its formatted properly), you might have been able to use a pivot table.

Excel connecting two documents advice needed!?
Q. Document 1 is a weekly working schedule (day by day) with about 3 or 4 groups of people working in different assignments, each group could be from 10 to 20 people and it changes from week to week. Document 2 is a time sheet, 1 for every group of people for every day of the week. What I need is as soon as I finish the schedule somehow the info of each group (name and ID of every person) automatically generates the time sheet for that specific group without the need of copy-paste the info. Both documents format is already set (i can not change it) so the copy-paste is not that easy either because cells are of different sizes. My question is, can it be done with just plain Excel and which way should I go or do I need another piece of software… [cont.]

A. This is assuming you have Excel 2003: In document 1, click on the first cell you want to move into document 2. Where it says 'A1', type whatever you want to call it (let's call it 1person). In document two, click on the cell you automatically want to show the contents of [1person]. Click Insert>Link to external data. Select Document 1 from the drop-down menu or click browse (...) and select Document 1. In Available tables and ranges, select [1person]. In Update every, put a low number for faster updating. NOTE: 1. You can call your cells in Document 1 whatever you like, however they must be different from the other names and CANNOT be letters followed by numbers, or Excel will think it is a cell reference. For example, it CAN be 1person, [cont.]

A. A. Relative reference will change cells as you move along the total sales column but the commission rate is only in one cell so it should be absolute.

Just how Foolish is our Government?
Q. Connecting the Dots: Osama Bin Laden and Al Qaeda Involvement in Terrorism Prior to 9/11 Nov. 30, 2006 On the night of November 5, 1990, El Sayid Nosair walked into the Marriot East Side Hotel, pulled out a .357 chrome-plated magnum pistol and shot one bullet into the neck of Rabbi Meir Kahane. Kahane was dead on arrival at the hospital. An engineer by trade, 34-year-old Nosair had donned a knit yarmulke, a religious garment worn by many followers of Kahane, the leader of the radical extremist group known as the Jewish Defense League. As he attempted to flee the scene, Nosair shot 73-year-old Irving Franklin in the leg when he tried to stop him. After jumping out of a taxi cab he had thought was his getaway car, Nosair fired once again, [cont.]

A. Like the yawner up there, it's not just the Government but a combination of the "West-Guilt" - types (you know like the "White-Guilt types) who are ashamed of being Westerners, with a mix of drive by media, anti-christian secular humanism (if it was just secular it wouldn't be an issue), and uniformed masses, you get guys like Petey, yawning.
