A lot of viruses use names that are the same as real system programs. lsass.exe is a microsoft component used for security in a networking environment. But a file by the same name is also part of the sasser worm. I'm not sure if the worm replaces the microsoft file, or if it puts one by that same name in a different folder. I'm sure there is info available at sarc.com (Symantic Anti-Virus Research Center)

On one computer forum they claims that LSASS.EXE was basically spyware????
And LSASS.exe is a process that needs to run for Windows. And it's fairly easy to determine if the LSASS.exe is a virus or not.
Yep, I'm fairly diligent with keeping up with virii. And I've run and re-run adware and spyware programs that found a few harmless cookie tracking items connected with IE. This problem is not a virus, nor does it appear to be adware or spyware related. After turning just about everything (services/drivers/devices) on and off many times, it appears that the problem may be somehow tied into the FAX service. Disabling fax send/receive appears to eliminate the problem.
Microsoft had a previous problem with a patch that broke all kinds of OLD modem drivers several years ago. This may be another one of those problems. I may just eliminate my computer fax or move it to another machine.
Thanks, though.

That sounds like what all I need.
I have badge layouts placed on a page to be printed for sublimation.
There is a color logo, 1 line that doesn't change and I print a rectangle for a guide to place the precut blanks.
The name and 2 other lines change.
The length of the title and some names vary a lot. If I use the print merge the only way is to have different runs or make the title small enough for the longest line which looks stupid on the ones with short titles.
The first run was over 100 but most of the time its less than 1 sheet right now. But we seem to be getting more color requests so I would like some shortcuts when the inevitable order for 500 shows up.
Now I am just selecting one line at a time and pasting from the text file.
I could lock all the lines that don't change so I could select the changing ones easily and make sure they run from top to bottom to match the text file.
I would just like to select about 30 lines (or less) 3 lines x 10 badges.
And paste the text from the list.
If it would automatically duplicate from one, move it over or down to fill the page that what be a plus but just the multiple line text pasting would save the most time for me.
Is it possible to make a macro that would rearrange objects and/or text lines from top 2 bottom and left to right.
Xenetech has a top to bottom resort that works great if you move lines around in a plaque layout. They don't sort left to right so if I am working on a logo with several objects that were text letters in coreldraw, when engraved on the rotary each line will skip around unless you sort them in order one at a time.
I had 5 long lists of excel lists that the macro for that worked great on.
They were just lasered so it was easy to paste into Xenetech.

Absolutely. I used to do a lot serpentine sorting for surface mount pick-and-place and adhesive machines.
However, I think Shaddy has a better approach and it is probably the same approach that Print Merge uses and also the 'name dropper' program. That approach is to name the text objects and then use that for the replacement. Then it doesn't matter....... well, I was going to say it doesn't matter where they are at, but it does. You'll need to have them grouped together or give them index-like names: FirstName1, LastName1, Title1, etc. Or, you'll have to fill the names as you duplicate them. Or.... I'm missing something.
If you want to experiment with a couple of macros and see what works best for you, I'll send you a couple via e-mail. You might have to invest a little time now to save some time in the future. The last macro I created might be all that you need. Cutting-and-pasting 30 names/titles at a time should be about 30 times faster than 1 at a time and a whole lot more accurate.
Were you able to create a command button on the toolbox toolbar for a macro?

I flagged the message about the toolbar but havent been able to try it yet.
Nothing is working right this week so all I can do is get the work done.
Thanks
