Bill Stoneberg Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Cars has a neat service I just learned about and thought I would pass on. If you send e-mail to <BR> <BR> XXnos@oldbuickparts.com<P>where XX is the year of your car, you get back a list of all the NOS parts they have that fit your car.You dont have to put a subject or anything else in, just the address and send it. The address must be in lower case though.So in my case it would be <BR> <BR> 47nos@oldbuickparts.com<P>You can then copy it to Word and print it. <BR>Pretty neat, I already have found a couple items I want to order.

old-tank Posted February 16, 2002 Share Posted February 16, 2002 Great tip Bill! You can copy and past into any word processing program...reduce the font size so you have fewer pages and only one line per item.<BR>Willie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted March 4, 2002 Share Posted March 4, 2002 Thanks for this tip, Bill!<P>When I received the email attachment, I downloaded it but I got a message that Notepad would not open it as it was too large, but offered to let Word Pad open it--which it would not. I put it in "My Documents" when it downloaded.<P>I changed the file extention from ".txt" to ".doc" and Word97 opened it immediately. I also modified the file name to include the year of the car. No need to do a pdf file or similar, from what I see, by changing the file extention to ".doc".<P>Thanks again,<BR>NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 12, 2002 Share Posted March 12, 2002 Here's another tip:<P>Try importing is as external data (copy the data, save it in a text file and use the data>get external data>import text file) into Excell. You might have to play with it a little until you get the format right but it makes it much easy to read.<P>Ozzylectra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
