Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Unless you copy (From MS Word) + Paste (Into Excel), no.

Not true - in Word you can save the document as an HTML document and import this into Access

Assuming you're using Word 2003. In Mail Merge you can specify an Access database as a data source (it's the icon that says Open Data Source).
