Office issues: Entourage limitation; Excel 98 work-around

CNET staff
Entourage rules limit Mike Lincoln recently tripped over a problem with Entourage that he eventually found documented in a Microsoft Support Document. In particular, if you have a rule with more than 10 criteria, Entourage will stop responding when you try to receive mail. Making the problem worse, Outlook Express does allow more than 10 criteria, so if you import rules from Express you will get this problem. No error message appears warning you of this or explaining the cause.

Excel 98 exported chart bug: a work-around We have previously covered a problem with exported Excel 98 charts and rotated text. A reader pointed us to this Microsoft Knowledge Base article that cites the same problem. Microsoft told the reader that a solution described in this related article (saving the chart as a picture) was also at least a partial solution to the rotated text problem. He added: "Also, we can use the steps below to save the chart as a picture: (1) In Excel, click 'Save as HTML' on the File menu; (2) Follow the wizard to save the worksheet as a HTML file, and the chart will be saved as graphics file."
