    Help required identifying font.

    I'd say they look pretty close to Franklin Gothic Book to me.

    advice on creating a company brochure

    You can, but I probably wouldn't! The best solution probably depends upon how complicated/expensive you want to get. The easiest (decent) solution would be to design you document in say Microsoft Word (if you have it, or the free OpenOffice if you don't), then use a freely available 'PDF...

    Online presentations?

    Take a look an www.openoffice.org - it's a free office suite, and includes an equivalent of PowerPoint that can export to Flash. Pretty sweet.

    Adobe Designer 7.0

    At the moment, the only way I can see you might be able to do it, is to use the full version of Acrobat itself. I can't see any way of making an object (of any sort) clickable inside Designer. If you created the PDF in Designer first, then edited using Acrobat, would that work for you?

    Picking it up again -

    Please help me before I lob out this PC.

    No, a PDF isn't really a photo of the document - it's a stuctured description of a document. There is support for links, and other 'active' content, and can be made very flexible. The exact route to creating links varies depending on what software is being used to create the document. For...

    Please help me before I lob out this PC.

    Anti-Spam Solutions for Windows Servers?

    I've had very good results with ASSP (http://assp.sourceforge.net/). It's probably best run on a separate box, but can work in conjunction with Exchange (etc). It takes a little bit of training for the first week or two, but seems to work well. Also heard very good reports about Trend, but...
