Creating a hyperlink

When I create a hyperlink, I do not get the 'hand' icon. I have to 'ctrl + click. Is there somewhere to activate the 'hand'?

Ctrl A, E, I, and U Aren't Working (Word 2007)

Posted: 07 Apr 2013 02:06 PM PDT

Hello, I noticed recently that all italicizing, centering, underlining, and selecting all aren't working on my Word documents. This is only for Word, not Notepad or PowerPoint. I'm wondering if anyone can help me with this...

A few days ago, I added a few shortcuts to make it easier to type out Chinese pinyin-- but only the vowels (i.e: Ctrl-I,4 for the letter 'i' with a grave accent). Another thing worth mentioning is that bolding (Ctrl B) and right-aligning (Ctrl R) are working just fine, and coincidentally don't include vowels...

Any help on how I can get the non-working shortcuts back to normal? (I use word a lot and find it a hassle to have to manually click the icons...)

Thanks!

Incorrect figure number when using Insert Caption

Posted: 07 Apr 2013 11:34 AM PDT

In Section 1 of a report I have four figures.  I assigned figure numbers for the first 3 figures without any problems:  1-1, 1-2, 1-3.

 

The fourth figure should be 1-4, but, using Insert Caption, I get 0-1.

 

Any idea on what could be causing the problem?

 

Thanks

Why do unicodes sometime appear as squares?

Posted: 06 Apr 2013 10:44 PM PDT

Specifically, I've copied and pasted musical notes from Microsoft Word to rename the Music category in the Start menu. Also, a few .wma files in Windows Media Player are labeled with kanji, hiragana, and/or katakana as they were ripped from import CDs.

Quite often, those unicodes will become squares. I used to think it had something to do with being online since that is when they'd appear as squares. However, I recently discovered that being offline will garner the same result. I started my laptop yesterday to find that Windows apparently couldn't read the unicode in the Start menu (didn't even bother checking WMP). I wasn't online and I use an air card to do so.

I posted this question in a forum regarding Windows (7 specifically), but I was eventually directed here. I was also told to download Microsoft Safety Scanner. I did, performing a Full Scan. Files Infected: 0 "The scan completed successfully and no viruses, spyware and other potentially unwanted software were detected."

I've had this issue for about 2 years. Windows Defender (currently off), Microsoft Security Essentials (currently active), and a 3 month trial from third-party antivirus bloatware (uninstalled) have never detected any virus, spyware, or other potentially unwanted software.

I was also told to run my laptop in Safe Mode. I did, but couldn't find any culprit. It did seem to fix the issue, but that was short-lived.

Any ideas? What's causing unicodes for the renamed category in the start menu and those in WMP to appear as squares? If it's superficial, then it's disappointing. If, however, it's deeper, then it might be detrimental. Either way, I'd like to get this issue resolved.

Your help is appreciated.
