Sync'ing the calendar of an Android mobile phone (Acer liquid e2, not to name it) with an Outlook calendar over bluetooth or USB cable : NO WAY.
Acer has no built-in solution (Android ... blabla ... Google ... blabla ... No Micorsoft ... No Outlook, well, alright). Actually, binding the mobile with my laptop over bluetooth does not work. I cannot exchange any file using the Weven built-in functionalities.
I tried the famous MyPhoneExplorer, which has already worked well many years for me in the past, to no avail. No connection using BLuetooth, no connection using USB. Wifi is no option, since I cannot branch on the company signal.
 Two days spent tweaking every single bluetooth feature to get a connection, and I have not any beginning of a solution. Google told me nobody ever managed to do it (they all sync using Wifi, which I do at home also and works like a charm).
On my previous phone, I turned BT on on the PC, on the phone, and it simply worked.

Leslie Nielsen talked about this a while back... 
If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader.-John Q. Adams
You must accept one of two basic premises: Either we are alone in the universe, or we are not alone in the universe. And either way, the implications are staggering.-Wernher von Braun
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.-Albert Einstein

...who decided that all Excel documents should open in the same instance of Excel....
You, Sir, are a moron.

It's possible to open two in different windows...you just can't do it by clicking the actual document. You have to launch a second excel and then open the file from the menu. But I agree. Not cool.

|

That is my point exactly.
Used to be you could double-click an Excel file and voila! It opened in it's own instance.
Now, you have you open Excel, then go find the file and open in. Completely counter-intuitive.
And to add to the misery, if you double click more than one, and they open in one instance, how do you select the other file? You have to click the View tab, then drop down Switch Windows, and select the other file. Again, completely counter-intuitive.
If it's not broken, fix it until it is

One assumes you can open excel and drag the file from explorer, drop it on excel and it will open in that instance (eliminates the ratting arround the file system the 2nd time).
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity

Don't know what version you are using, but every time I click on an Excel sheet in Office 2013, it opens in a new instance, even with other instances open.
|
|

|

Are you sure it's really a new process? My experience is different (Win 7, Office 2013 - 32 bit).

Spoke wrong... Same executable but two completely separate windows. The original complaint was about opening in the same instance (window). Mine open in new windows.

Have to agree - PITA.
The number of times I want two sheets open at the same time, one on each monitor isn't huge, but when I can't do it I do want to hit things. Or MS employees. But things are closer...

Can't agree more... he was a moron. Whether it is Excel's earlier versions or not... you can't take the fact away that he was a moron when he designed it.

Mark, Golf is the only exercise I get.
(Apart from Jumping to Conclusions and Running Down The Boss).
I like to think of it as my Keep Fit Regime.
Up early, play 18 holes over 4 hours, card under a hundred (not counting the Mulligans or that terrible business at the 5th) then repair to the clubhouse for a sip of wet pleasure.
(That said I have not had a drop of alcohol since NYE, I am spending January dry)
Spring is on its way and I have bought my new outfits for this year and am just thinking of a new set of clubs so that I can get frustrated and swear at something shiny.

Golf is a great sport as long as you don't take it too seriously. A person's true character can be judged by their behavior on a golf course. I hope I never have to play with my brother-in-law again.
Fairways and greens!
