    favorite Frame resources

    Looks like there aren't too many Framers here - the last few threads were unanswered. I've recently started using Frame 15, with a bit of experience in older versions. I see Adobe, and some hits from STC Carolina. Anyone have favorite sites/resources?

    MS helpfulness when using Dir

    Well - it seems that Windows has some features I haven't noticed until now - I can't believe I just learned this - noticed in Win 7, but does same thing in a Win 2K vm. In a command window, dir *.doc will also return .docx files. hm, that's almost cool. And, in VBA, the behaviour holds -...

    mobile devices - repairs and support

    When a business issues a cell phone, how is support usually handled? - say it loses texts, or doesn't notify the user of voicemails, or - whatever. Is it usually handled by IT first, or does the user call the carrier's support, or what? What if there's a management app on it? if a device...

    Mobile device management and BYOD

    I'm working on IT security policies for mobile devices - user-owned and business-owned. Would you use the same management software for both? Would you permit the same levels of access for both? Do you permit personal data on business-owned devices? Thanks for any insights or opinions. Regards Jay

    smartphones for corporate use

    I'm reviewing types of smart devices suitable for corporate use. I'd appreciate comments on classes of devices, such as Blackberry vs Windows Mobile vs WebOS vs Android vs iPhone... I see there were security issues with WebOs a while back - is it pretty secure now? Thanks Jay

    I also posted this question in the Acrobat forum, but perhaps there's more action here? For some arbitrary number of docs in one or more directories, I would like to pull text from the first page of each doc, pull some of the text out of it, and use it to assign "title" and related OLE...
