Product Questions
- What's new in the most recent release of Office?
- The familiar Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint include updated features that help you create, communicate and work even more efficiently from virtually anywhere.
In addition to updating the traditional Office suites, we've developed subscription versions of Office for home and school, specifically designed for the way you use Office today. Each of these subscriptions include the latest versions of Office applications like Word, Excel and PowerPoint, for PC or Mac. Plus offerings such as Skype world minutes and online storage with OneDrive.
- What is the difference between the Office 2013 suites and Office 365 plans?
- Microsoft Office is still the name we use for our familiar productivity software.
Office suites have traditionally included applications such as Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook. In this release all the Office 2013 suites, such as Office Home & Student 2013, include the latest versions of the Office applications, for use on a single PC.
We use the name "Office 365" for products that include features enabled over the internet, such as additional online storage with OneDrive or Skype world minutes for home use. Office 365 business plans include features such as Lync web conferencing and hosted email for businesses. All Office 365 products, such as Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, Office 365 University, and Office 365 Small Business Premium, are paid for on a subscription basis. Subscription terms vary by product.
Most Office 365 plans also include the full-featured Office 2013 applications, which users can install across multiple computers and devices. Active subscribers receive future rights to version upgrades as a benefit of their subscription. Entitlements vary by product.
- How do I install Office Home & Student 2013, Office Home & Business 2013, or Office Professional 2013?
- Go to www.office.com/setup and follow the onscreen instructions to download the software to your computer. You can install Office on one PC.
- Can someone open Office 365 or Office documents using earlier versions of Office?
- Yes, a person with a previous version of Microsoft Office can easily open documents created with the latest release of Office.
Office 2007, Office 2010, Office 365, or Office 2013 users can open documents created using the latest release of Office applications without any additional action.
Customers using earlier versions of Office may need to download and install a compatibility pack.
- How long does it take to download and install Office?
- Office installs more quickly than ever, thanks to Click-to-Run, a streaming technology that lets you begin to use Office applications before installation is complete. All versions of the new Office use Click-to-Run. The actual download speed depends on the speed of your Internet connection.
- Should I install the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Office?
- The 32-bit version of Office is installed by default. Even if your computer is running a 64-bit version of Windows, we recommend that you install the 32-bit version of Office, because it is more compatible with the applications and add-ins that work with Office. If you do want to install the 64-bit version of Office, you can do so by taking the following steps:
Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, or Office 365 University: Go to www.office.com/myaccount, click Languages and install options, and then click Additional install options.
Other Office 365 plans: Log into your account at login.microsoftonline.com and choose the option to install the 64-bit version of Office.
It is not possible to install both the 64-bit version and 32-bit versions of Office on the same computer.
- What is Office on Demand?
- Office on Demand comes with your Office 365 plan. It allows you to access your documents and settings and lets you use full-featured Office applications on PCs that dont have the latest version of Office installed on them, for example a PC in the library, at a business center, or one that you borrowed from a friend. The full-featured applications are accessible via a web browser, instead of being permanently installed on the PC Streaming speed depends on Internet connectivity speed. Once you close the applications, they are no longer available to other users of that PC. Documents you save to OneDrive will also no longer be available to other users, unless you saved them locally on the computer. You can use Office on Demand on a PC that is connected to the Internet and running Windows 7 or later.
- Are my documents stored on OneDrive also available offline?
- With the OneDrive desktop app installed on your computer, your documents are available offline without any action required from you. The OneDrive desktop app creates a folder on your computer that automatically syncs documents between your OneDrive storage in the cloud and your computer, so you can work on your documents offline and be assured that they are always in sync.
- Can I use Office languages other than the one I originally purchased?
- Your Office 365 subscription enables you to install Office in 40 different languages. If you have Office 365 Personal or Office 365 Home you can choose the language to install Office in by visiting www.office.com/myaccount. Not all languages will be available in all regions. Customer is limited to using Office in two languages at one time.
- Can I use Skype world minutes plan from my mobile phone?
- You can use Skype world minutes from any device where you have Skype installed, whether it's your mobile phone, tablet, TV, or other device, subject to country/region availability.
- For which devices will Office be available?
- Office supports PCs or Windows tablets running Windows 7 or higher, Macs with Mac OS X 10.6 or higher, and iPads running iOS 7.0 or higher. For information about mobile devices, see www.office.com/mobile.
- How do I install Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, or Office 365 University?
- Visit www.office.com/myaccount on the PC or Mac that you want to install Office on, and then sign in with the Microsoft account that you used to purchase the subscription. Once signed in, click Install Office and follow the onscreen instructions.
Please ensure you are signed in with the Microsoft account that you want to associate with your Office product.
- How do I make sure I always have the latest Office applications?
- Office 365 customers with active subscriptions always get the newest versions of the Office applications when they are available. When we release a new version of Office, you will be notified that you have the option to update your software to the latest version.
- How do I manage my Office 365 subscription?
- You can manage your billing information, install or remove Office from additional PCs or Macs, and manage your installations of Office on other devices at any time.

- Is Internet access required for Office?
- Internet access is required to install and activate all the latest releases of Office suites and all Office 365 subscription plans.
For subscription versions of Office including Office 365 Home, Office 365 Personal, and Office 365 University you will need to go online to manage your subscription account, for example to install Office on other machines, or to change billing options. You will also need to connect to the Internet regularly to keep your version of Office up-to-date and benefit from automatic upgrades. Internet connectivity is also required to access the Office 365 offerings such as OneDrive.
- Can I install the new Office on my Mac?
- If you buy an Office 365 subscription, you can install Office applications such as Word, Excel, and PowerPoint on your Mac. The applications available for Mac users and the version numbers may be different from those available for PC users.

Your Skype world minutes will be applied to a new or existing Skype account. Each month you will receive 60 Skype world minutes. Your Skype world minutes allowance resets each month. Special, premium and non-geographic numbers cannot be called using Skype world minutes. Calls to mobiles are for select countries only. Skype world minutes available in select countries.
- What happens to the documents I have stored in OneDrive when my subscription expires?
As the expiration date approaches, you will receive notifications in the Office applications and via email, alerting you to the upcoming expiration. Once your Office 365 subscription expires, the Office software applications enter read-only reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print documents, but you will not be able to create new documents or edit existing documents.
To return to full Office functionality, you can purchase a new subscription or a one-PC version of Office such as Office Home & Student 2013, Office Home & Business 2013, Office Professional, from Office.com or any participating retailer. You could also return to using an older version of Office, or use the free Office Online on OneDrive for basic editing.
Your documents will remain accessible to share and download. If you have reached or exceeded your free 7 GB storage limit, you won't be able to add any further documents. You will have the option to access and edit your documents saved on OneDrive using Office Online. You may save your OneDrive documents to another computer or disk drive at any time.
- What happens when my subscription ends? How can I continue to work with my documents?
- As the expiration date approaches, you will receive notifications in the Office applications and via email, alerting you to the upcoming expiration. Once your Office 365 subscription expires, the Office software applications enter reduced functionality mode, which means that you can view or print documents only, but you will not be able to create new documents or edit existing documents. To return to full Office functionality, you can purchase a new subscription or another version of Office, from Office.com or any participating retailer. You could also return to using an older version of Office, or use the free Office Online on OneDrive for basic editing.
- What if I want to change which devices have Office 365 installed?
- Office 365 Home can be installed on up to five PCs or Macs, plus five tablets for use by your entire household. Office 365 Personal can be installed on one PC or Mac, plus one tablet, for use by one person. Office 365 University can be installed on up to two PCs, Macs, or tablets, for use by one person.
If you have installed Office on the maximum number of PCs, Macs, or tablets and want to use Office on a different PC, Mac, or tablet, you can deactivate a device from your subscription, by logging in to www.office.com/myaccount. You can then install Office on a new PC, Mac, or tablet.
The copy of Office on the PC, Mac, or tablet that was removed from the subscription will revert to reduced functionality mode, but you will not lose the documents that are saved locally on the original device.
- What is my Microsoft account and why do I need it for my Office software?
- Your Microsoft account is the combination of an email address and a password that you use to sign in to services like Hotmail, Messenger, OneDrive, Windows Phone, Xbox LIVE, or Outlook.com. If you use an email address and password to sign in to these or other services, you already have a Microsoft account - but you can also sign up for a new account if you prefer.
With this release of Office, you must be signed in with your Microsoft account to start an Office subscription and to install and manage your Office software. You may also need to sign in with a Microsoft account when you install the latest Office 2013 suites.
Please note that some subscription benefits, such as additional storage with OneDrive, are linked to the Microsoft account that is used to manage your subscription.
Any time you want to install Office on another PC or Mac, choose a new language for an installation, or make other changes to your account, simply return to
www.office.com/myaccount and sign in with your Microsoft account. Remember - the Microsoft account you use to sign up for Office is the same account you'll use to manage your Office subscription. - What is OneDrive?
- OneDrive is a service that enables you to upload files to storage in the cloud and then access them from a computer or phone. You can use OneDrive to store documents, notes, photos, music, videos or other types of file.
OneDrive simplifies sharing. You can send photos and files through email, send a short link to them in a text message, or post them to a social network, your website, or your blog - all right from OneDrive.
There's also a desktop app for OneDrive you can install that creates a folder on your PC or Mac that automatically syncs with your cloud folder, so you can access your files offline.
- What is the difference between Office Online and Office on Demand?
- Office Online is best suited for quick viewing and editing. Like Office Online, Office on Demand allows users to access Office and their documents from anywhere. The difference is that Office on Demand can quickly stream the full-featured Office applications on any Internet-connected PC running Windows 7 or higher. Office Web Apps are available across a variety of operating systems, devices and browsers, providing access to Office tools and your documents when working from PCs with earlier versions of Windows, as well as from other platforms.

(Note: All OneDrive users receive 7GB OneDrive storage for free).

Wounded Iraqis face a shortage of the outdated prosthetics due to a spike in war-related injuries in recent years. Iraq's health care system remains in shambles following two decades of war and economic sanctions. Following the 2003 U.S. invasion, thousands of physicians fled the country while others were killed. Some physicians have since returned but there is still a critical shortage of doctors. Iraq is transitioning nearly nine years after the 2003 U.S. invasion and subsequent occupation. American forces are now in the midst of the final stage of withdrawal from the war-torn country. At least 4,485 U.S. military personnel have died in service in Iraq. According to the Iraq Body Count, more than 100,000 Iraqi civilians have died from war-related violence. (Photo by Mario Tama/Getty Images)

CANTON A 71-year-old sex offender is accused of assaulting another St. Lawrence County jail inmate earlier this month.
James A. Pleau was charged with second-degree felony assault and criminal obstruction of breathing or blood circulation, a misdemeanor, in connection with the Jan. 10 incident at the Canton lockup, St. Lawrence County sheriffs deputies said Friday.
Pleau, formerly of 16 Mechanic St., Potsdam, is being held in the facility in connection with a sexual-assault case. He was sentenced in November to 120 days in jail and 10 years probation after admitting to one count of first-degree attempted sexual abuse, a felony. He allegedly restrained his 13-year-old victim in March and then sexually abused him while the boy was at Pleaus Potsdam home.
Pleau was arraigned in Canton Town Court on the assault charges and ordered held in lieu of $5,000 bail. He is to reappear before the court next month to answer the charges.

Comfortable and Durable
This vest is well constructed. Durable hardware (zippers and buttons) and fabric suggest this vest will last for a long time. Very warm and I've received plenty of compliments while wearing it and will continue to wear for sometime to come.
Bar Harbor, Maine
I waited a long time for it to come back in stock in asphalt, and was not disappointed. Good fit, I like the look of it, and if you like to wear vests a lot, it will soon be the one you reach for. I wear mine everywhere. Warm. Great pockets. The hood is nice for the rain or cold. Ditch the goofy double zipper, but it's not a problem, it just doesn't have a purpose, and you end up fumbling around a little when you go to zip up. Overall I think it's great.

Supersmith, most of your speech is true except the cases of financing nationalistic causes and the corruption. Actually the cases of corruption in Spanish parties could fill a row of people from Andalucia to Madrid, you can check it out, none of all is nationalistic Catalan, and you can take a closer look to the Bankia's financing larger tunnel unther a city, in Madrid, the fantastics airpots without planes or the TGVs to nowere, the whole Spain is subsidied by the Catalans, even Madrid, you can check it out. While it happens, we the Catalans are paiyng 5% to the Central Government for the extra money wich is in fact our own money payed to Madrid via taxes.ah! I missed the metal box where the children of Corca (north of Catalonia) took their classes for lack of financing. It is Outrageuos how the Unionists try to change our mind
This is an objective and qualified opinion of what is going on downthere.
Catalonia has suffered a pendulum effect from opression of their identity during franco´s regime to another totalitarian regime, yet more subtle, called catalan nationalism. The main doctrine or message conveyed if you will from catalan nationalism is that the people on this piece of land create more wealth, are more efficient and more advanced than poorer parts of Spain and so they must enjoy the benefits of the wealth they create. The problem with this mainstream line of thought amongst nationalists is that is utterly false. Today, Catalonia ranks 2nd in GDP after Madrid. It ranks 4th in GDP per capita after Country Basque, Madrid, Navarra and close to Balearic Islands. The gap between the first 3 and the following is huge. Catalonia has had 7/8 years of terrible and outrageous goverment of a coalition of Socialists and radical nationalists which has literally ruined its public finances. What is the answer to this by catalan nationalists ? do we blame ourserlves ? of course not. What do we do ? Lets blame Madrid central govt in the same manner provincial demagogues in deep America , in the U.S blame Washington politicians. It is kind of publicly accecpted to blame central govt politicians for anything. Let´s create an outside enemy. So this is the project they´re handling now. Madrid, intellingently is taking a moderate stance waiting for this castle in the air to collapse. It wont stand. Catalonia today is filled with local corruption, subsidies for nationalistic causes and mediocre politicians and public servants. It is a pity but it is more and more looking like Argentina. We´re being witness of the argentinazition of catalonia. I encourage anyone who is not catalan nationalists or does not have catalan nationalistic sympathy to take a closer look.
Agree. There is also another issue: Catalan nationalism has been also promoted among the younger generations, and in some cases this has been done by teaching to hate Spain (the rest of Spain). But, IMHO this trend has peaked these days: as the younger Catalan generations grow up they'll become more down to earth and the image of a Catalonia that could live happier away from Spain will fade away (not totally but enough to reduce support for extreme nationalism). Not to mention that an independent Catalonia will be a thread to Spain my becoming more and more demanding of new territories...
In the mean time, I also agree, the Spanish government has to firm but tolerant and concentrate on what is important - to keep Spain united - and let the Catalans have as much freedom as the Constitution allows. It wouldn't hurt, also, to promote goodwill among Spaniards and Catalans by teaching that diversity should be promoted not repressed. This understanding applies both ways. They'll always exist Catalan nationalists that will enjoy depicting the rest of Spaniards as fascist, ignorant and intolerant and Spaniards who would like get rid of the Catalan difference. But the key is to reduce those numbers.
supersmith, you need to "come on downthere" and check yourself before handing out the verdict rather than pontifying "ex-cathedra" up there.
As for Madrid taking a "moderate stance", either you are blind or have not seen/heard Mr. Wert's utterances... which again deserves recommending to you a "fact-finding tour" before diagnosing.
The Economist says:
Under Spain's constitution of 1978, Catalonia enjoys more self-government than almost any other corner of Europe. It runs its own schools, hospitals, police, prisons and cultural institutions.
It is more alike to self-administration under general Spanish laws raher than a self government.
The Economist says
Catalan public television offers a weather forecast that includes provinces that have been part of France since 1659, but no meteorological information for Zaragoza or Madrid.
Surely the only day the author of the leader documented himself watching at a weather report in catalan T3 was a very exceptional day. Normally are displayed diferent maps. One, strict autonomus catalonia. Second, whole Iberic peninsula. Third, Europe. Information is given all along this maps.
Four, the so called map of 'catalan countries'. The map is perfectly adequate because it shows an appropiate view of catalonia inserted in the middle of nearest regions. As for me it only lacks Aragon and at least a part of Midi Pyrennes. But I'm afraid that the level of complains would be bigger on 'catalan imperialism' and so on.
In the case of french territories, the author probably ignores that Pyrennes in Catalonia can be easily crossed and human relations between both sides are intense. Not less important southern catalans have often to go north to look for the snow in winter and go north in summer if they want to enjoy for a little while a less hot clima. The Pyrennes make a big difference between north south and just sayin how gracefuly both kings decided to split catalonia gives a lot to think about. But see fra away from Madrid all this remains a dangerous mistery.
In the case of Balearic islands, its presence in the map is helpful for quite a lot of people than como and go by plane or boat and some of them yatching across the sea.
In the case of Valencia, remember there's the highway an lots of cars going north - south and back again.
In short this is the territory where we come and go. And the fact that there's also cultural and political implications it only shows that catalans made centuries ago a quite logical expansion and some mutual influence remains. Like it or not, to try to repress this fact is for me such a big nonsense as it is to ignore that those places are not catalonia no matter if they speak in catalan and are have kind of catalan culture.
Except of course french catalans, who are as full right and proud catalans as southern. They are of course under a different political regime that in my opinion they do not want by now to be changed just in case it was possible.
Modern globalization won't consist of a human population where everybody is the same. It is erroneous to encourage that anyway. Having a global language is great, but a global culture dominated by the west will not emerge. It's a phase and it's going to pass by sooner than expected. The fact that Catalonia has retained its national and cultural identity for all of these past centuries speaks for itself (and they're not the only ones).
Heck, the point is, the modern world is bound to accept these "micro states" for the reason being that power and affluence has no real conscience. Thus the fact that the western world embodies that for the time being is only a current event rather than something that is set in stone for eternity. Once people are comfortable, they will even aim to differ, and believe whatever they want in the end. But that's not a bad thing. Harnessing differences positively is key to driving innovation and human development. Or at least, that's what IBM's global marketing is making me think... :-)
Besides, Catalonia being dependent on Spain for its own survival? We all know it's EU money trickling down there anyway. Put a sock in it guys. Based on how bad Spain is at administering its own country, it's hard to imagine the Catalonians do much worse.
The whole "what deserves to be a country" argument is all bullshit. Among others in Europe, Monaco's a country, and their dependent on foreign military for protection for instance. Why do they deserve to be any more of a country than Catalonia? They don't even have their own language, culture etc... Oh wait, is it because it's a fiscal paradise? Huh, maybe that's what it takes to exist as a micro-state. They provide an economic solution! (For those that matter.) :-)
For once I tend to coincide with your opinion even if you need to understand in depth Catalonia - one of my ancestors founded the National Party but the one today is quite a different 'endeavor'. Perhaps a better quote of Orwell:
By 'nationalism' I mean first of all the habit of assuming that human beings can be classified like insects and that whole blocks of millions or tens of millions of people can be confidently labelled 'good' or 'bad'. G. Orwell
And a further deeper analysis of the importance of this crisis for Europe and its real causes in this article:
Why is the nationalism of Spain more acceptable, more moral, than that of Catalonia?
That one is easy: Spanish nationalism is inclusive and respectful of individual rights whereas catalan nationalism is exclusive, oppressive of individuals (especially those deemed impure) and most of all, totalitarian. That's why.
Wow, John Cobra. Still uttering lies without showing proof. As usual. I am still waiting for verifiable proof that "Catalan is a language of peasants and has been codified by the Barcelona mafia".
You get better, of course, along the time. I notice that, for once, you have dropped the m word.
Love the title's Orwell pun: so typical of the Economist!
Didn't Catalonia ask Madrid for a bail-out only a few months ago, financed with German's money?
So Catalans welcome cash but don't want to share it with Andalusia... Beautiful!
I found it hilarious to see in the demonstration "Catalonia, the next EU member". Indeed, you know that you need the German's money but don't like Madrid government!
Let me tell you something, German's bail-out comes with far more strings than what you can get from Spain. Just have a look around, Portugal and Greece.
If you want to demonstrate against Rajoy, please do so I'm all with you. But you are not helping yourself by mixing everything in your protests. It just can't be taken seriously...
Source of Jordi Vidal last post: http://elconfidencialdigital.com/seguridad/079221/sospechas-en-la-polici...
The spanish judicial police has officially reported that the only possible source of the illegal leak to EL MUNDO newspaper of an unsigned, anonimous draft, is inside the Spanish Government itself (Mrs. Cospedal office). The document suggested hypotetical secret Swiss bank accounts, without explictly naming Mr. Artur Mas and without any proof whatsoever. This delinquent operation has definitelly undermined the cleanliness of the Catalonian Elections, and nobody in Spain has denounced it, or seem to be ashamed about.
Even Artur Mas himself has come to recognize the existence of those secret bank accounts, in Liechtenstein and later in Switzerland, when he said that his father (the holder, deceased in 2012) had regularized them (that is, he paid back taxes) with the Spanish fiscal authorities.
The leak perhaps is illegal, but it is symphtomatic of Spain´s democratic déficit that more than often revealing corruption is punished but corruption itself is not.
First: Those accounts originated after the civil war, and have been inherited by the mother of Artur Mas, not by Artur Mas.
Second: If they have been fiscally regularized in Spain, are NO SECRET AT ALL, and are LEGAL
Third: The SCANDAL nobody seems to speak about is telling things that are objectively plain lies, to spread suspicion among biased listeners, AND HEAVILY INFLUENCE an ELECTION PROCESS from the sewers of a bankrupt state.
By the Spanish Civil Code, the son (s) and not the wife is the legal heir, mind you. And so, these Swiss bank accounts are now Artur Mas'.
Morever, as far as has been revealed, the accounts are 24 years old. The Civil War concluded 73 years ago and the Artur Mas (father) was an eleven summers boy. Anyway, the bank accounts themselves are secondary (albeit Artur Mas and Jordi initially denied its very existence), the main issue is the money that came into. Money suspicious of been lingered to corruption. In Jordi Pujol (Catalunya's 1980s and 1990s nationalist President)case, the wealth amassed in Switzerland by him and his family could reach an staggering 137 million Euro......
I apologize The Economist audience for boring them with a repetition of the pre-Election quarrel.
There are no proofs: "Money suspicion of been lingered", "could reach 137 million".
We must wait for the result of the defamation complaints.
I close this thread from my part. Good by.
First, accordingly to the leaked dossier of the Tax Fraud department of the Police there is proofs and evidences of tax evasion and corruption. Indeed, the SUP, the main policemen trade union, has reported that this dossier was concealed for political reasons and so not prosecuted in court.
Second, mind you, the lack of proofs has not stopped you of charging María Dolores de Cospedal as the source of the leak. Many point to disgruntled policemen instead.
Third, at the very heart of the endemic corruption in Spain (Catalonia included) is that "them against us" mentality, which prefers to ignore own faults and demonize others. Corruption has to be prosecuted and punished. Whoever does it. Period.
And yes, let´s don´t bore our fellow readers with this typical Spanish debate.
Federalism won´t be a solution. Catalunya, specifically Catalan nationalists, don´t want just greater autonomy; they want more autonomy than other regions of Spain (bar the Basque Country or Galicia). That would have been acceptable in 1978 but no more. Rest of Spaniards are increasingly tired of nationalist reivindications and nationalist rethoric (just read the text of some of my fellow commentators); after a genuine effort to accomodate Catalans in a decentralized State, rest of Spaniards also feel insulted by perennial tales of Catalan "oppresion" at Spanish hands. True is: the centralist (and very protectionist) government of 1800s Spain was supported by the industrial Catalan oligarchs; the Civil War and the Franco regimen was also supported by the Catalan economical elite, which feared left wing syndicates, mostly anarchists. Then again, Spain is purported as prosecuting the Catalan language and Catalan culture ....which she has executed so utterly that there have been an uninterrupted flow of Catalan writers, artists, etc in the last three centuries. In Spanish Catalonia, that is. In French Catalonia the language is barely spoken nowadays. In other regions of Spain, Catalan or Catalan dialects are also protected by Spanish laws.
You have not been to French Catalonia, sir.
How would you name Mr. Wert's efforts about the umpteenth Education reform?. Silly he is, by the way: "Education must be carried out in the alumni's mother tongue" if they so wish... Is Madrid ready to educate their Chinese and Romanians in their mother tongues?. Do you know that in the Ballearic Islands the new (PP) government sent a letter to every family telling them that they could choose it... and over 90% chose to keep as before?.
Besides: (a) the percent of high-schoolers who speak and write FLUENT Spanish in a properly structured way is (according to the "Informe PISA", which is under no suspicion of being close to the separatists, is a good 17% HIGHER than in the rest of Spain?. And they speak Catalan, too, so something is done better in Catalonia, surely?.
Also: Do you remember that when a Catalan group launched an IPO on Endesa the rallying ct¡ry in Madrid was "Antes extranjeros que catalanes?.
And "Spaniards also feel insulted by perennial tales of Catalan "oppresion" at Spanish hands"?.
Wake up, sir
Problem: Catalonia wants independence, despite having almost all the powers of a sovereign country. But it can't possibly have independence.
Solution: Give Catalonia more powers.
Lesson: The Economist has the short-term memory of a goldfish, even within its own articles.
Watch out for Chaos in PIGS - riots will happen, governments will fall... and demands for Independence my provinces will be made... AND, THIS WILL SPREAD
But austerity measures are a must - three to five years down the line, stability will be back and the European countries will return to normalcy..
But what happens to the US? Continuous QEs will mean denying that there is a fundamental crisis when austerity measures are drastically required.
Like the provinces in Spain now declaring that they are going bankrupt, lots of municipalities and councils of small and medium and large towns are going to file for chapter 10 for bankruptcy.
That will hit the US but then, it will be too late and the US economy will just implode - my guess is latest 2016.

Calm down buddy
"Catalan public television offers a weather forecast that includes provinces that have been part of France since 1659, but no meteorological information for Zaragoza or Madrid."
On the contrary, there's a thoroughly practical reason for that weather forecast. Unlike the more distant (in every respect) Madrid and Zaragoza, the so-called "French Catalonia" is right next door to Catalonia, and is packed with Catalonian week-end visitors and vacationeers year-round. And it's culturally close, yet enjoyably different.
AH! I suppose Catalan businessmen never, ever, travel to Madrid. During my last 40 odd years in Barcelona, whenever I had to fly to the capital, all those 30 to 40 daily flights of the Puente Aereo were empty??
And of course nobody holidays in Aragon, does turismo rural in Teruel, skis in Huesca, visits El Pilar in Zaragoza, even though Aragon is right next door to Catalonia. Vamos, tio!
"Catalan public television offers a weather forecast that includes provinces that have been part of France since 1659, but no meteorological information for Zaragoza or Madrid."
Seems like a lot of thought and effort going into just being petty. Weird to think that my 2 year old is more mature than an enture Spanish province.
A not-so-unlikely future:
Nov 2014 - Catalonia votes for independence. Senyor Artur Mas becomes its president.
Dec 2014 - Catalonia applies for EU membership. It's approved and it becomes the 28th member.
Mar 2015 - Soria (a Spanish Province) votes for independence. Spain grants it.
Apr 2015 - Soria applies for EU membership. Jordi Martinet (born Pepe Martinez) - the Catalonia's EU representative - opposes it. "They are not a nation, Catalonia is", he says. "We are so..." declares the president of Soria. Despite Catalonia's noisy opposition, Soria becomes the 29th EU member. "Now everybody wants to be a nation", declares Jordi Martinet. "It's not fair".
Sep 2015 - Bremen secedes from Germany and it becomes the 30th EU member. Venice secedes from Italy and it becomes the 31st EU member.
Jul 2017 - The process becomes contagious: by now the EU has 125 members (25 from the country formerly known as Spain) and 85 official languages: Catalan, Soriano, Franconian, Bable, Silesian... and so on.
Oct 2017 - The European Commission announces that the EU can no longer operate in such a confusion. After a long discussion in the 85 languages it gets decided that the EU members will be organized in groups. The press calls them "bunches".
Nov 2017 - The German members quickly organize their own "bunch". They decide on a new name: Deutschland.
Dec 2017 - The French members, after a long discussion create their own bunch: France.
Dec 2017 - The members of the country formerly known as Spain create their own "bunch". They can't agree on a name so they become the Iberian bunch. Galicia tries to become part of the Irish bunch. "We are Kelts, too", insists the Galician president. "No, you are not", answers the Irish president. So Galicia joins the Iberian bunch. The Basque Country joins the Georgian, Sicilian, Macedonian bunch, now known as the "EGSM" bunch, with an "E" for Euzkadi.
Jan 2018 - The Catalans try to join the German bunch: "We are the Germans of the South, we are not Spanish". "You are on the South, all-right, but you are not German", comes the answer.
Jan 2018 - The Catalans try to join the French bunch: "We are practically French, we are not Spanish". They get rejected.
Rejected and dejected the Catalan nation create their own bunch with Roumania, Albania, Cyprus and Kosovo. They become the CRACK bunch. Catalonia loses population and decides to import one million Moroccans.
Sep 2018 - Since the new organization proves ineffective, Germany decides to quit the EU and the euro, close its frontiers to a "bunch of crackpots" - as the German president politely put it - and create a new currency: the Deutsch Mark.
Oct 2018 - France follows suite and quits. Their new currency: the Franc. They start talks with Germany, Holland, Belgium and Luxembourg to create a new union: "The Common Market".
Nov 2018 - The EU collapses. The border controls reappear. The Economist writes on its front page: "We hate to say it, but we told you so".
May 2019 - Morocco invades Catalonia. Catalonia accuses Spain of collusion with the Moroccans. "We didn't see them coming..." declares the Iberian president. The Moroccans impose the "sharia", forbid bikinis, public nudity and "allioli" under severe penalties.
Jun 2020 - Catalonia asks for help from the "Spanish" brothers. The country formerly known as Spain invades Catalonia, again! "What took you so long?", declares Artur Mas? Catalonia joins the country formerly known as Spain. Public nudity, bikinis and "allioli" become legal again, practically mandatory. The country chooses a new name: Spain, and a new currency: the "peseta". The Basque country rejoins Spain. Spain applies for membership to the "Common Market". We'll think about it... is the response.
My apologies to the proud "Sorianos". No offense intended...
Time to wake up, Galaicus
That was a great piece Galaicus, and I agree with most except I don't know why the "Moroccans" would ban "allioli"...
Really good, same question concerning 'allioli'
Brilliant prognosis... World of fiction just sensed an upcoming star
You are right, guys! Make that "butifarra" instead of "allioli". Saludos and Peace.
28th EU Member will be Croatia (July 2013)
Watch out for Chaos in PIGS - governments will fall, riots will happen. AND, THIS WILL SPREAD
But austerity measures are a must - three to five years down the line, stability will be back and the European countries will return to normalcy..
But what happens to the US? Continuous QEs will mean denying that there is a fundamental crisis when austerity measures are drastically required.

Excellent text, great stuff!
As a Spaniard I offer the following win/win/win/win solution:
Let Scotland and Catalunya go their own ways. Then England can become part of Spain ... that is what we tell the Spaniards. Then you tell they English they rule over Spain.
Then we have the aging queen of England and the decrepit king of Spain fight it out in the ring. The winner will be the new monarch. Deal? To sweeten the deal we will let you claim your spot at the pool ahead of the Germans.
England (without Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland): 53 million people.
Spain (without Catalonia and the Basque Country): 36 million people
Combined population of the United Kingdom of Spain and England: 89 million people.
Germany: 82 million people.
Combined economy of the United Kingdom of Spain and England, ruled by the King of Spain Juan Carlos I and the Queen of England Elizabeth II (nominal): $ 2.8 Tr.
Germany: $ 3.5 Tr.
So, it wouldn´t be enough....
And if Austria become the 17th German member state:
Germany + Austria: 90 million people
Combined economy: $ 4 Tr.
So, France would have to be added becoming a Monarchy under the Bourbon Dinasty, being the King of Spain a Bourbon.
Combined popoulation of the United Kingdom of France + England + Spain: 152 million people.
Combined economy: $ 5.2 Tr.
That compares well to the combined Germany + Austria economy: $ 4 Tr.....Even if these would have a higher income per head and more exports.
And I didn´t take into account Switzerland...
Oh no, not the French. I want nothing to do with them. I will consider, however, adding Portugal and the all the colonies from across the Atlantic. Minus the South of the US, the French can have that.
Well, if there is something sure, is that things in Spain must change. The actually system is not working, and the government should be aware of this. I honestly believe that the "fiscal pact" that Catalan people claimed was the best solution for Spain. Why? well, you just have to look at the Bask Country. Are they claiming for independence? certainly not, because they already control the most vital commodity: Money.
I am a Catalan, and as one, I fish the best for the people surrounding me. I face the actual "constitutional crisis" as a solution rather then an issue. With independence, Spain will (FINALLY!!) change and force to be a more efficient country in the long run. Catalan people already now the Spanish path (with a huge wall at the end called "CONSTITUTION"), why do not try a different one?
The catalan voter is facing some basic choice. Either vote to remain in Spain, an imperfect country (like any other) that is nontheless able to provide all its citizens the standards of the most advanced nations or vote for the utopian wonderland of Supercatalonia. Chances are that the catalan voter has been indoctrinated to hate Spain and feel threatened by the school system and local (both controled by the corrupt mafia running catalonia for decades. This catalan voter is made to believe that he/she is part of a special catalan master race that is destined to rule Europe and the world after "emancipating" itself from those "despicable inferior beings" as the catalan nationalists refers to those from Madrid.
Ethnic nationalism is always dangerous but the catalan separatist movement can also be considered a totalitarian ideology. The constant disregard of the local catalan oligarchy for rule of law, the wild assumptions like the EU will have no choice but to accept catalonia as its leading region (a prominent catalan politician assertion that "catalonia will soon be more powerful than germany" is comic) and the permanent lies about history are the halmarks of a totalitarian movement. Last week the world was made to discover that the Americas was discovered by a catalan. Next week we will learn that the first man to walk the moon was a catalan propelled by a no less catalan rocket.
Events affecting the whole of Spain are routinely presented as "attack" from "evil" spaniards against the perenial catalan "victims". In the last civil war, Madrid endured a longer and far more gruesome siege than barcelona who quickly surrendered to Franco. Likewise the constant cry of catalonia being robbed is just another lie. Madrid pays much more money to the rest of Spain than catalonia does. In fact catalonia is a net recipient of Spanish transfer money. If catalonia is robbed, it is by its corrupt catalan nationalist mafia elite of barcelona.
Spain could be tempted to let catalonia go but that would be a mistake. An independent catalonia would turn to a totalitarian terrorist state with an aggressive expansionist military policy that would actively seek war with its neighbors.
I've lived in Catalonia for 10 years and I can confirm that what you say is utter twaddle.
I've lived in Catalonia for 10 years and I can confirm that what you say is utter twaddle.
An heterogeneous nation is something tricky to attain, particularly in belligerant Europe, but contiguous Spain has held together for more than 500 years. During these five centuries she suffered small losses of land to France and Britain and had small gains from Portugal and Morocco. (She also lost the Low Countries, southern Italy and few other European regions, but these were not really Spanish, they were medieval heritages.)
Perhaps now it is time to cut the links, but, in the short term, it will certainly mean more hardship to Catalonians and non-Catalonian Spaniards alike. A new state needs an Army, a Navy, an Air Force, a Foreign Office, a Central Bank and has many other expenses that a province does not have.

The article and comments overlook sectional differences in the US, in particular the indigestible Confederate culture area. The core area states are dependent on money transfers from the rest of the states except for Texas and Georgia (metro Atlanta). 145 years after the Civil War the South is still a cultural and economic fossil enabled to exist by welfare. Yet their politics still demands attacking Washington and enacting Norquist's Starve The Beast program to bury it in military and interest expenses.
That disconnect, somewhat like a five year old trying to burn down the family house, seems more plausible on reading the history. Those states had to be included in the American Revolution to be successful but should have not been re-included after 1865. Having to include them and their odd, plutocratic society may be the reason there was no attempt in the US Constitution to have a Wall between politicians and money though it's an obvious necessity. That lack may yet prove to be a fatal defect. Their religious groups only reflect and support the society.
The Republican factions today apparently consist of the Confederates, the Tea Party, and the would be plutocrats financing the rest. The Conservatives and others left on the fringes have nowhere to go. For the US to continue as a functioning country the Republicans need to disappear into history like the Whigs and be replaced by a real center/right party. Their program now is little more than crony capitalism and plutocracy, a proven path to failure.
The institutionalized corruption of the US Pay-To-Play political financing system has been out of control since Finance bought its way out of Depression-era reforms. It's hard to see how the Constitutional Amendment it would take to fix that system could be passed. But reform is not really possible without such an Amendment.
Possibly the only way forward would be that the Deep South states including Texas east to the Atlantic be split off from the US into a Caribbean Banana Republic. Then it would be the IMF's problem if it failed. Trying to make a single country including such a different culture area is probably impossible, even dangerous. Problems after such a split would be preventing overt racial warfare, preventing restarting their Apartheid system, and preventing leasing out military bases to all comers. About the same problems as exist now, actually.....
