I've tried to find out myself in the past.
Usually you get answers from people that are in the newsgroups constantly
and have no patience for a newbe.
It is really difficult to know what the news groups are since they only
reveal one or two words followed by .... I've tried several different key
strokes to see if they would open up to readable text, to no avail. So,
I ended up subscribing to one, then delete, subscribe to another, delete.
Until I finally find something that I want.
Needless to say, there may be more that I would like to read, but I too
have run out of patience doing the subscribe, delete thing.
So, if you have patience someone with compassion will answer your very
legitimate question. Sure wish I could be more help to you..

I clicked on your examples, but when I go to my newsgroups, I do not
know how to move the description column over. I have tried to do something
of that sort for weeks now and I do not know the combination.
thanks Bruce, I have already learned more from you than anyone else about
this matter.

HTML used for descriptive purposes only.

See the little faint line to the left of Description? Grab it with the cursor and move it. It's the same as adjusting the columns in the message header view, i.e. From | To | Subject | Sent, etc.

Alternatively, to set each column to allow the largest value to be
fully readable, just press Ctrl-+ (where the + is on the Numeric keypad
with NumLock on.) If you don't have a physical numeric keypad you could
probably use the on-screen keyboard instead. I haven't actually tried doing
that though. Press Win-F1 and search for onscreen keyboard for details
and a link which launches that utility.


Good luck

Ok, I've got it.. Thanks Bruce
Sometimes this old brain is a little slow.
when I clicked on the "Word" description and held my left button on the
mouse and moved it to the right, I was able to see all the descriptions
open right up. So easy.
No wonder Pa bear is such a smart butt. He thinks we all should know that.

Well, we should (all know that), since this technique is used in all manner
of applications... :-)

What is, for example "modulesdaovba"?

I suppose if I have to ask I wouldn't want it...
