      I think we need to set up another way of doing this. I think you're going to have to download the spreadsheet in the morning (15 minutes), edit it via Libreoffice on your local machine, and then upload it in the afternoon (40 minutes). Of course, before e...

      Nevertheless, it does seem weird to me that, under normal circumstances, you'd be supplied with a laptop which would have had Office installed on it, but they expect you to have your own laptop and Macrosoft Office installed -- bought and paid for. So, no...

      No. You did, too. I wouldn't. It will probably want you to create a new Macrosoft Passport account, which you'll probably have to do. Unfortunately.

      Oh. Told you it wasn't Libreoffice Calc at fault here. I would be surprised if something so basic was broken. (The broken parts are more likely to be the calculations and some other special features.)

      it took 25 min to upload, so now the modified spreadsheet is where it's supposed to be. I will reiterate, I can't modify the spreadsheet, it's above my paygrade. not until I more confident and have a better idea what the hell I am doing then I don't want t...

      I'm not sure. But, you need to figure out a way to download and upload files there since flooding the network with constantly updating the file just will not work.

      If we cannot figure out a way around this, I will be forced to throttle your laptop so it cannot flood the network. This will severely slow down anything dealing with the network on your laptop.
Re: from Noelle Media and Nuclear Deal Opponents Continue to Spread Debunked Myth Iran Will Monitor Itself (fwd), robert Aug 25 16:13

I think it's because something is hogging up the network connection and fetchmail thinks it failed to get the first copy; so, it tries again. Do have any idea what's slowing down the internet network?

      Presumably not. You should be able to edit directly on the OneDrive. Of course, the problem is that it may go back into the old mode of constantly saturating the internet connection, making everything slow and have multiple copies of email messages.

      OK. So, what did you do with the spreadsheet? I would try to open the "(1)" one in regular Excel to make sure it looks right. If the document does look right, then you should be able to upload it (again) to OneDrive, trash the one that's there (the one wi...

      You mean, you are unable to open the document that you saved on your computer (the "(1)" document) using LibreOffice Calc in Macrosoft Excel? Emit == issue.

      Yes! Make it refresh every 30 minutes instead. Or turn off refreshing all together.

Yeah, I heard someone talking about this. It's good. For Noelle's computer, we run Ghostery and AdBlock Plus. For my computer, I use RequestPolicy and privoxy. Badger is much simpler to use, but not as customizable.
