So why are you not willing to use the double authenication to keep your email account from being hacked.
If you are having problems with your gmail account in this account, could it be that it has been repeatedly been hacked and is now black listed?
BTW, Bob, you used your gmail e-ddress to make this last post.

google has a double check for gaining access. this requires giving them your phone number and then they telephone a code which you then have to enter. I am not doing that.
I thought I had sent that post to another forum. Sorry. I can not use my gmail e mail address in this group now. yahoo blocks me although the gmail address is viable.

The problem is not Gmail. The problem is that most people don't use a
password manager and end up giving their credentials to a fake site.

Sounds like an old fashioned BBS. So why do you need to spoof, just use your e-ddress and include a signature that says you are a moderator. Or add a line saying that you are putting on your moderator's hat on. No biggie. KISS

I'm hoping it will be simple, but maybe not that simple.
Our Freecycle mod address doesn't have a password. Mail to our mod

I've used TypeIt4Me, TextExpander and SpellCatcher. I've settled on using Text Expander and I'm very happy with it.
That said, if you do all of your work in Microsoft Word, you should know that it has this capability built-in (and more). (Let me know if you need to know how to access this feature in Word.) Pages has similar capabilities, and I'm sure that at least some other Mac word processors do also.

Rosetta is very processor intensive. I'm willing to bet that reinstalling Rosetta won't help with performance. My guess is that something is impacting performance overall on your Macintosh, and that it is just most noticeable when Rosetta is running.
Instead, I would run all of the suggested routine maintenance for OS X and see if that helps.
If that doesn't help, I would use Activity Monitor to figure out what is hogging CPU cycles on your Mac.

Hi Randy,
I did the maintenance on my Snow Leopard startup disk and a couple of things needed fixing. Upon restarting things seemed noticeably speedier. But Eudora and AppleWorks are unchanged ... not slow so much as hesitant in some tasks.
When searching in Eudora, the Find window opens and I select mailboxes by click-and-drag. When I let up on the mouse button the dotted select rectangle remains "stuck" to the cursor until... it goes away some seconds later. I then click in the text field to enter search criteria and the blinking bar cursor does not appear... for several seconds. Then I can enter terms and click Search. The cursor is responsive during this time; it isn't a "freeze".
Similar odd hesitances occur in AppleWorks. No other applications are affected. This is a relatively recent event -- until this summer(?) Eudora and AW worked as expected.
As there seems to be no negatives associated with reinstalling Rosetta I think that will be my next step (as soon as I can find the install disc...)
Thanks,
Dave

Exactly. NWP is not up to the task of being used in a business environment. Microsoft Word *is* easily up to the task, and in fact is the de facto standard for word processing in the business world, on both the Macintosh and on Windows.
The original poster in this thread asked for a "Microsoft Word Clone" (it's right in the subject line) and said that he needed to use some of Word's advanced features. NWP is a nice mid-range word processor, and it is worthy of a look by folks who, as you say, simply need to read and edit text. But it is not a Microsoft Word competitor, and so is/was an inappropriate suggestion for someone looking for a substitute for Microsoft Word.

I am moving files from the Mac filesystem to the cloud storage and between
the cloud storage systems themselves.
I have not found good clean easy ways to move files from Mac to say Dropbox
folder. Dcag and drop was not working. And copying is supported but not
move. Cut works but paste is not an option into a dropbox folder.
I was using Finder Window should I be using a different part of Mac to do
that level of file management.

No, I think Finder is what you should be using. You could also use
Terminal, but only if you are happy with the Unix CLI (Command Line
Interface).
If I open my Dropbox folder and another folder in Finder, drag-and-drop
*moves* files from one to the other in either direction. If I hold down the
option key while doing this, the files are copied, not moved.
Cmd-x, however, behaves no differently to cmd-c: in both cases, the
subsequent cmd-v copies, not moves.
I think this is normal Finder behaviour. I don't know why cmd-x does *not*
cut files even though it's listed as a Finder shortcut at
<http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1343 >
Can anyone throw any light on this?

That may be true as far as what's actually on the market, but it's not correct as far as definition of function is concerned. The box interfacing the local LAN to the Internet could have a coax WAN connection to the internet, be capable of routing traffic on the local LAN, but NOT have more than one Ethernet port, requiring the user to purchase an Ethernet switch or hub for that purpose. Most routers come with a few Ethernet LAN ports, of course.
