Welcome to another issue of The Naked PC newsletter. In this
issue Lee completes his report on Word XP's new features, while
Al has some interesting news on handheld accessories. Dan talks
about Web surfer tracking and Jim has some tips on how to find,
or become, an expert on the topic of your choice.
Woo-hoo! Jim also reports that UPS has once again found Clovis,
California and that our shipping center located in the family
room of his modest domicile has over 1,000 new copies of "The
Book That Should Have Come with Your Computer" on CD-ROM, so all
orders are being filled as they come in. Speaking of which, we've
set up a Web site for our e-book where you can find a link to the
still popular PowerToys, peruse the reader reviews we've received
(or write your own review if you already have the e-book), along
with an Overview section, the Table of Contents, Updated Links,
Errata, and the popular "Ten Reasons NOT to Read This Book!"

** 02. Office XP: What's New in Word - Part 2 (by Lee Hudspeth)
In the last issue #4.11 I ran out of space in which to cover all
of Word XP's new features (I count 32 in all). Here are the
remaining features complete with user interface tips and my grade
(scale of 1-10). You'll recall that I gave Word XP's new features
a grade of 7.7.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?lee1
Continued...
19. Custom table styles -- Yes, Word now has table styles and you
can create your own.
UI: Task Pane, Styles and Formatting, New Style, in the "Style
type" list choose Table.
Grade: 10
20. Sort by more than one word inside a table column -- When a
column's cells contain multiple words separated by tabs, commas,
or another character you specify, you can now sort by each term.
For example, sort a "lastname, firstname" column by both lastname
and firstname.
UI: Table, Sort, Options, use the "Separate fields at" settings.
Grade: 10
21. Picture rotation and compression -- All objects can now be
rotated, including pictures. You can compress just the selected
picture(s) or all pictures in the document.
UI: Right-click the picture or object, Format <object type name>,
Size, Rotation (can also use Drawing toolbar's Draw control). For
compression, right-click the picture, Format Picture, Picture,
Compress.
Grade: 10
22. Diagrams -- Word 2000 supported organization charts, Word
2002 supports a richer set of diagram types including cycle,
radial, pyramid, Venn, and target.
UI: Insert, Diagram.
Grade: 8
23. Drawing Canvas -- This new structure is like, well, a canvas
that contains the objects that you draw or insert on it. On
screen it looks like a frame and has its own toolbar with
features like Fit, Expand, Scale, and so on, but it doesn't
print.
UI: Tools, Options, General, check "Automatically create drawing
canvas when inserting AutoShapes".
Grade: 7 (this one might grow on me, though)
24. Web Archive -- This file format allows you to save all your
HTML and linked files in a single MIME encapsulated aggregate
HTML document (MHTML) file for easy storage or distribution via
email.
UI: File, Save As, choose "Web Archive (*.mht; *.mhtml)".
Grade: 8
25. Introduction field -- When you send a document inside an
email (Word converts the doc to an HTML message), the new
Introduction field allows you to provide a preamble for anyone
with an HTML-compliant email client.
UI: File, Send To, Mail Recipient, Introduction.
Grade: 1 (this gets a thumbs-down because I don't endorse sending
documents inside bloated email messages; instead you should
always include documents/files as zipped attachments)
26. Mail Recipient (for Review) - Integrates Word and Outlook in
such a way that a document's author can track changes made by
reviewers, all via email.
UI: File, Send To, Mail Recipient (for Review).
Grade: 5
27. Booklet printing -- This is now built in, but offers a
somewhat limited set of options.
UI: File, Page Setup, Margins, from "Multiple pages" control
select "Book fold".
Grade: 6
28. Remove personal information -- Strip a document of
information that might identify its author. Knowledge Base
articles have been around on this procedure for a while, but now
it's built in.
UI: Tools, Options, Security, "Remove personal information from
this file on save", Save.
Grade: 8
29. Block access to Visual Basic projects -- Default protection
setting that denies macros access to Word's currently loaded
Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) projects.
UI: To open this gate select Tools, Macro, Security, Trusted
Sources, check "Trust access to Visual Basic Project".
Grade: 8
30. Save My Settings Wizard -- This Wizard is now built right
into Office.
UI: Select Start, Programs, Microsoft Office Tools, Save My
Settings Wizard.
Grade: 8
31. Crash management -- I'm lumping several new features into one
category. It's now much easier to recover a document that was
open/damaged during a crash, and to see what Word did to recover
it (The Document Recovery task pane appears automatically when
Word re-opens after a crash). Use the "hang manager" feature when
Word is locked up and you can't close it (Start, Programs,
Microsoft Office Tools, Microsoft Office Application Recovery).
Force Word to attempt to recover a potentially damaged document
(File, Open, click Open button's down arrow, Open and Repair).
New Microsoft System Information (Msinfo32.exe) tree for "Office
Event/Application Fault" logging.
UI: See above.
Grade: 8
32. Expanded object model -- Developers will want to study Word
2002's new objects, properties, methods, and events.
UI: Select Tools, Macro, Visual Basic Editor, in the "Ask a
Question" box type "what's new for microsoft office developers".
Grade: 6
Are you loving Office XP? Hating it? Other XP-rated thoughts? I'd
like to hear from you. I'll be following up this article with
coverage of another of my beloved Office applications: Excel (I
was tempted to type in Multiplan just for grins, but didn't, and
yes, I did use it).

** 03. Accessorizing Your Handheld (by Al Gordon)
The folks at Belkin--who make cables, converter-connectors, and
other such peripherals for practically everything--have expanded
their offerings in the world of handhelds with the new "eGo" line
of accessories.
The range includes the usual assortment of mobile chargers,
styli, screen covers, and leather cases. But Belkin also has
added some long-overdue and much-needed equipment for handheld
users.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?al1
Two of these items particularly stand out.
Readers of this space will know that I regard a PDA Serial-USB
adapter as a must. The "fried Palm" phenomenon was documented in
The Naked PC last year (TNPC #3.01 and #3.09). In certain
circumstances when you place your device on its sync cradle,
static electricity can jump from the Palm to your serial port,
damaging one or both.
The simple solution is to forego the sync cradle and connect your
Palm to your computer via a serial/USB adapter. To get such an
adapter you can give Palm more of your money and buy their Palm
USB unit:
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?al2
Or you can take my advice and buy Belkin's serial adapter, which
also will support other serial devices:
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?al3
Installation is straightforward: connect the serial plug to the
adapter, then plug the USB end into your PC. The standard Windows
New Device Wizard runs, and you insert the supplied CD-ROM to
install the drivers. Thereafter, Windows treats the USB adapter
as if it were another serial port on your PC.
Note that you do not get USB connection speeds; either adapter
only provides serial transfer rates. But USB is designed to hot
swap, which you can't do with serial. And USB is better able to
handle static discharges and protect your handheld and PC.
Another "why hasn't this been here all along?" piece is Belkin's
F8V7P000 PDA recharger kit for Palm III and VIIs:
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?al4
It has been really silly that rechargeable batteries are not even
an option for those model Palms. (They are included on the V and
M500 series.) Until recent price slashes, both the VII models
were pricey products, and the higher-end IIIs were as expensive
as Vs. Yes, Palms are famous for low battery consumption, but
having to buy disposable AAAs seems dumb.
The Belkin package not only provides rechargeable cells, but also
includes a car adapter. So you can recharge from a cigarette
lighter (now called a "power plug" in politically correct cars)
or from a wall outlet.
With the Belkin kit, your Palm III and VII will have the features
that should have come standard to begin with.

STOP TELEMARKETERS COLD!
As seen in the pages of The Naked PC newsletter, now you can get
the Ultimate Anti-Telemarketer Device! Don't let your dinner get
cold while you try to stop some telemarketer's sales pitch long
enough to say NO! Just press the button on the Easy Hang Up and
let this marvelous device tell the telemarketer that your phone
number does not accept sales calls and put them on notice to
remove your phone number from their call list. This small device
plugs into your phone and when you get a sales call just press
the button and hang up! It's that simple.

** 04. Snooping Around on the Internet (by Dan Butler)
If you live in the United States and possibly elsewhere, you most
likely have been receiving "Privacy Policies" in the mail.
Businesses are getting these policies into the hands of their
customers in an effort to help educate consumers on what
information is being collected about them and how it is being
used.
The Internet has brought this "problem" to the forefront of
consumers' minds. Data has always been collected and sold in the
past through catalog, direct mail, telemarketing, and even
software companies. Remember all those registration cards you
used to fill out? Much of that information is sold to other
companies. Many companies collect a sizeable portion of their
yearly income through mailing list rental fees. However, this
article is not about the pros and cons of gathering names and
renting them. I have my opinions about the practice but don't
want to start a debate about that topic either here or in email.
Instead I'd like to focus on the Internet and information
gathered by the Web sites you visit. Many people would have you
believe that Web sites gather all sorts of information about you
as you surf, thus directly violating your privacy. I've spent a
considerable amount of time over the past few years analyzing the
data collected by Web sites for various companies and I'd like to
set the record straight on what is and isn't gathered about you
by most sites.
Every time you visit a Web site certain information is stored in
a log file. There is one line written to the log file for each
element on a Web page that you request. Each page could have
several elements: the page itself, each graphic, sound file,
style sheet, some script files, etc. are each an element. Each
line of the log file contains the following information:
1. The IP address you are surfing from
2. Your username on a site that requires authentication
3. The date and time you are actually requesting an element
4. The element of the page you are viewing (a graphic for
example)
5. The protocol you are using (i.e., HTTP or FTP)
6. If the element was successfully sent to your browser
7. The Web address of the page you were viewing before requesting
this page (called the "referer" and historically misspelled)
8. The Web browser you are using
9. The operating system your machine is running
In addition, JavaScript (a programming language) can be run on
the site you're visiting and it can determine other bits of
information like your current screen resolution (more on scripts
in a moment).
The most revealing items in the list are #1 (the IP address
you're surfing from), #2 (your username on a site that requires
authentication), and #9 (your machine's operating system).
#1 This can be the address of your DSL or cable modem if you have
a static IP address. It can reveal the name of your ISP, giving
clues about the general vicinity where you live or from where you
are surfing the net. If you are surfing from the office it will
generally be the address for your company.
#2 Your username can tell a Website exactly which pages you as a
registered user have looked at.
#9 This can give someone an idea of where you were surfing just
before coming to their site. This is an issue on a Web site that
records your username, password, or other information in the URL.
The next site you visit could wind up with that information in
their logs. If you came from a search engine it will usually
contain the terms you were searching for.
As you can imagine the log files tend to grow very large very
quickly. Programs are written to analyze the data helping
Webmasters optimize their Web sites.
An example of good uses of this information is a private site
combining items #1 and #2 to determine if passwords are being
shared instead of used by a single individual. Item #9 can help a
Webmaster fine-tune a site's navigation and determine which parts
of a site are most popular.
Here's a perfectly safe sample script to show you how this works;
it's available on our Web site:
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?dan1
Type the URL in a couple of times after visiting other sites to
see the Referer information change.
What's the bottom line? Do log files contain information about
you? Yes! Should be worried? In general, no, you should not. The
sheer size of the log files on most sites is staggering. The
better bet for protecting your privacy is to be careful what
information you supply in forms you fill out both online and off.
Quick tips:
* Since the username is stored in the log and often in the
referer, don't use your username for your password.
* If you don't want your referer information passed along, go to
a neutral site before surfing to the next site. Example: Use your
own home page if you have one or set your browser home page to be
a blank page. Then just click your home button to clear out the
referer setting.
Of course there are software programs to do all of this for you.
I do not recommend you use them. It just slows you down and
doesn't really protect you from anything. On the other hand
cookies and some advertising tracking software, notably Double-
Click.com, can and does track you with more certainty. I do use
software to block that sort of activity. Specifically I use
Norton Internet Security to block ads and pop-up windows.
Next issue I'll talk a bit about cookies, Double-Click, and how
companies track your email reading habits. And I'll tell you what
to do about it.

logs? I can help. Drop me a line with your needs.

** 05. Being An Expert is Keen (by T.J. Lee)
Do your friends and colleagues ever ask you for advice? Are you
the office guru on EverQuest, the authority on potting begonias,
or the local Ms. Manners who actually knows which fork to use
when eating escargot? Can you rattle off the current market value
of every beanie baby ever manufactured? Or are you just someone
who needs to find out something in a hurry and you wish there was
someone you could call so they could tell you what you want to
know?
The Internet has provided us with auction sites where buyers and
sellers of goods can find each other, and it's also provided a
way for people to sell and buy expertise. That way is Keen.
Keen lets anyone become a self-styled expert on practically any
subject you can think of and helps seekers of expert advice find
them. Keen acts as a broker between the experts who have signed
up as KeenSpeakers, and advice shoppers (called KeenSeekers) who
are looking for someone to answer their questions. A KeenSpeaker
sets a per-minute fee that they'll charge people wanting to talk
to them about their subject area.
Security is provided by Keen in this manner. Both KeenSpeakers
(experts) and KeenSeekers (those shopping for advice) set up
accounts (for free) whereby they register their phone numbers
with Keen. KeenSeekers then peruse the available experts by
category and ratings (and can look up client feedback to see what
previous clients thought of the advice they got). When a
KeenSeeker clicks on the "Call Now" link a call is made by Keen
to both the KeenSeeker and the KeenSpeaker connecting the shopper
with the expert. Neither party ever knows the other person's
phone number and Keen initially pays for the cost of the call.
Keen makes their money by taking five cents per minute off the
top of each call as a "connection fee" to cover the long distance
charges, plus 30% of the call revenue. Say a KeenSpeaker offering
advice on the care of tropical fish for 50 cents a minute gets a
call that lasts six minutes. In this example the call generates
$3 in total revenue (6 x $0.50) which is paid by the KeenSeeker.
Of that total 30 cents comes off the top for the connection fee,
less 30% of the remaining balance, leaving the KeenSpeaker with
$1.89 or 63% of what the KeenSeeker pays.
Being an expert-for-hire on Keen does not necessarily mean you
have to be next to the phone all the time. While live advice is
popular you can also sell your expertise via KeenMail, where you
answer questions via email, or by recording your advice. You can
record canned spiels on your expert topic and KeenSeekers can
listen to the recordings for the price you set.
Shopping for advice is a snap. Search by category or by searching
for a specific topic. I actually used Keen to get some advice on
French prose from a native French speaker for a romantic poem I
wrote to my wife. Ooh-la-la! Once you've found the topic you want
you check prices, ratings, feedback, and availability. Checking
the ratings and feedback is important because Keen does not
inquire too far into a given expert's expertise. When they say
"self-styled expert" they aren't kidding so the ratings and
feedback help separate those who know what they're talking about
from those who don't. Some KeenSpeakers offer real-time hours,
some answer only by email, other have pre-recorded messages. Keen
has a money back guarantee but you have to make a pretty good
case as to why you were unhappy with the "expert" KeenSpeaker
before they'll refund your money.
Becoming a KeenSpeaker is easy and costs nothing to sign up. Pick
any category to start and then click the "Give Advice" tab at the
top of the page. Keen walks you through the sign-up process and
helps in creating your category entry. You choose a topic under
which to be listed, note whether you are posting a recorded
message or are available for live consultation, list a
description of your qualifications and expertise, and name a
price per minute for your services. Finally, you enter the days
of the week and the hours during the day when you'll be available
to take phone calls. As you field calls your earnings show up in
your account. Once a month, if your account exceeds $25, Keen
will mail you a check.

** 06. Featured FAQ - Steve Gibson's "Internet Connection
Security Analysis"
Steve Gibson has the best FAQ around on this subject: how to
safely and securely network your Windows/Intel (Wintel) PC and
connect same to the Internet. Although the topics are decidedly
technical, Steve understands this, so he has written in a
friendly, non-technical style that walks you through the *exact*
procedures you need to bring your Wintel PC into a safe, secure
mode for talking to other PCs and the Internet. He debunks many
myths that exist regarding these enigmatic components known as
"bindings" (adapter, protocol, and service). We're sure you won't
be surprised to learn that the Microsoft Windows default state
for these settings is highly insecure. Besides, any FAQ that
begins, "Discipline your network bindings in the privacy of your
own home" deserves careful examination.
The FAQ is split into three parts, a home page (we provide this
link herein), then at the very bottom there are links for Windows
95/98 and Windows NT. Since Steve created his famous Shields UP!
page he has had more than a quarter of a million visitors use
that service. He says he has learned plenty from those folks and
their interactions with his tools, so he has completely enhanced
his step-by-step procedures for safe, secure networking. Whether
your PC is on a network, connects to the Internet, or both, you
absolutely must drop everything you're doing right now and go
read this FAQ, start to finish. No kidding. When you're finished
applying these recommendations to your PC, you will have
DRAMATICALLY bolstered its security while simultaneously
simplifying its networking configuration.

** 07. Featured Product - Slingshot
We've often talked about backup strategies for accessing the
Internet when your regular ISP goes down or when you're forced to
access the Internet from someplace other than your regular
computer. Enter Slingshot with a novel idea based loosely on the
pre-paid long distance calling cards that are so popular. You
purchase a CD-ROM at a retail store (Staples, CompUSA, Radio
Shack, 7-11) for about $10 that comes loaded with 600 minutes of
local phone access to the Internet (120 minutes for their
nationwide toll-free network). Currently only available in the
USA you pop the CD into your computer's drive and you have
instant Internet access. You can purchase additional minutes as
you need them either online (with a credit/debit card) or from
the same retail outlets that sell the initial CD.

** 08. Featured Web Site - Harry and David (reviewed by
Lee Hudspeth)
"America's Favorite Fruit and Food Gifts," quite a slogan to live
up to, but they do. Harry and David is an enterprise with a long
and fruitful history. The company started out in 1914 in Medford,
Oregon, and the family-operated Bear Creek Orchard's harvest was
known world-wide for its superb fruit. The Great Depression of
the 1930s forced the brothers Harry and David to think out of the
box, and they came up with the idea of offering their pears as
Christmas gifts by mail. Through sheer force of will, lots of
elbow grease, and "face time" with the VIPs of the day, they
boot-strapped their mail order idea. Aside from the utterly
delicious quality of their fruit, one key to their early success
was how tenderly and carefully they wrapped each shipment.
Well, it's the same today in 2001. Everyone to whom I've sent a
Harry and David fruit-of-the-month club membership, or a one-time
gift basket, or any of their product line, has gasped, slurped,
and exclaimed just how lip-smackingly perfect these fruits really
are. You can order online, by phone, or get their printed
catalog. Whatever you do, you owe it to yourself to try at least
one of their fruit ensembles. Once you do, you'll be hooked.

** 09. Newsworthy - a potpourri of current events and
interesting stuff
*-* Windows XP may require as much as 256 megabytes of RAM to run
comfortably according to hints and speculation surrounding the
upcoming uber-operating system. Microsoft is saying that you
don't really want to try to run WinXP on any system that's a year
old or older. MP3 encoding support may not make the final cut
into WinXP either.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?news1
*-* Do you now, or have you ever, used Alexa? If you have then
you may be entitled to receive $40 as part of a proposed
settlement to a class action lawsuit over Alexa's encroachment on
user privacy.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?news2
*-* The media is all a-twitter with the release of Office XP. But
there are still office suite alternatives to Microsoft's. Corel's
WordPerfect, Lotus's SmartSuite, and Sun's StarOffice are all
still alive and kicking, they just don't have market share.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?news3
*-* In an effort to get everyone to upgrade, and hence keep the
money rolling in like the tide, Microsoft has discontinued free
technical support for its Office 97 product suite.
http://www.TheNakedPC.com/t/412/tr.cgi?news4
*-* With the storm clouds of a Government enforced breakup of
Microsoft dissipating, the Redmond company is no longer playing
"Mr. Nice Guy" according to this article on ZDNet that says
Microsoft is back on the attack.

I (Jim) received a cyber-ton of email regarding my DSL problems
and what The Naked PC readers had to say was not too encouraging.
Many of you have had similar experiences with broadband
connections. Some, like me, had perfect connections for up to a
year before descending into connection purgatory. And the
problems are not limited to DSL. A number of cable users have
written in with horror stories similar to the problems that still
plague me (PacBell still has not corrected whatever went wrong in
early May, it would seem). Most of the folks who said they've not
had any problems have been using their broadband connections for
less than a year. I'm not saying that the 12-month mark is
magical in any way but it seems that if you're not having a
broadband problem it's just a matter of time.
It appears that broadband is still in a state of upheaval as more
and more people try to sign on to faster services. Also
discouraging were the reports from those of you who have
attempted to switch from DSL to cable or vice versa. TNPCer Kin
W. wound up with no broadband service at all after trying to
switch.
TNPCer Ron S. used a resource we've featured here in The Naked PC
to find an explanation of the problem I had over the Memorial Day
weekend last month (yea Ron!). DSLReports keeps a close watch on
what's going on in the broadband industry.

Anyway, we'll have more on broadband both DSL, cable, and
wireless in future issues.
