Nero Cover Designer

Is there any way to insert or import CD cover designs made by Nero Cover Designer into a blank Word document? The version installed in my PC is Nero 7. Thanks in advance! 117.194.226.193 (talk) 12:17, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't post the same question on multiple reference desks. The computer desk (where this is already posted) is the appropriate place, and if somebody can answer your question, they will. Note at the top of the screen where it says that it may take several days for a response. --LarryMac | Talk 12:33, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

2001 Ford Windstar Remote

I just bought a used 2001 Ford Windstar and it did not come with a remote to unlock the door or anything. I know you can program an old remote to work on your van, but I'm not sure how. Can anyone tell me what I would need or how to program a remote that my buddy gave me from his old windstar?

Thanks!74.218.50.226 (talk) 15:49, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about reprogramming them, but couldn't a dealership help you out? I got a used volkswagen that only had one key/remote, I asked the dealership for another and they programmed (and I guess cut) it appropriately. TastyCakes (talk) 16:16, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would be really surprised if there was a way to do that...but if there is, it would be a gigantic security risk - so if it's possible at all, it'll take help from the dealership. Dealerships can program remotes that have never been used - but I kinda suspect it's a one-time thing. When I had a faulty computer replaced on my MINI Cooper'S a few years ago, they had to replace both remotes and the emergency key thingy to match the computer - they couldn't just reprogram the old keys. However, Ford and BMW may well do things differently - so you might get lucky. Replacement key-remotes are typically horribly expensive - so it's certainly worth asking.

Sorry, not sure if I was clear, they give me a new key, not a reprogrammed one. And I don't believe they needed my old key to do it. TastyCakes (talk) 14:46, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

murder

bio of jennie jones —Preceding unsigned comment added by 152.133.6.2 (talk) 16:43, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia doesn't appear to have any bio of a person by that name. Do you have any further questions we can answer?--Jayron32 16:57, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

We have several articles for either Jenny Jones or Jennifer Jones. After a quick glance, I didn't see any that had anything to do with murder but you're more than welcome to read the articles and come back here with any more questions you might have.

Jenny Jones (presenter)#Controversy mentions murder - she presented a show which had two people on it, one of whom killed the other 3 days after the recording. That's the only connection I can find between murder and any name resembling "Jennie Jones". --Tango (talk) 17:29, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

(can't call it an edit conflict ... how about a "research conflict"?) Possibly related to the Scott Amedure case. --LarryMac | Talk 17:46, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

What's the Wikipedia category with the most words?

For instance, the article on the Northern Railway of Canada has the category 'Predecessors of the Grand Trunk Railway,' six words. 71.161.59.133 (talk) 21:55, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know, but you could scan the full alphabetic list at Special:Categories. -- JackofOz (talk) 22:15, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The longest one that I know of is Category:École supérieure de physique et de chimie industrielles de la ville de Paris, but I didn't do a complete search. --M @r ē ino 00:49, 24 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

These seem to be the longest at 18 words (determined by counting spaces):
