Microsoft Word 2013 Ribbon enlargement help!

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 02:54 PM PST

So when i start up my microsoft words, the ribbon (top toolbar with all the fonts and bullet icons) is enlarged. This never happened before but it continues to happen. When i click on the setting to show just my toolbar and then click on a tab and when the ribbon shows it is the normal size but then when I show the toolbar and ribbon, it reverts back to its enlarged self. How do I revert back to the default ribbon size? I have checked my screen resolution and its the same as before.

Microsoft Office Starter 2010

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 02:34 PM PST

It seems like every time I start a new document it automatically has two spaces between the lines of the text. I prefer just one single line between the text.

I have used the line and paragraph spacing option that are on my PC but for some reasons, when I do, its

as though they aren't even active, because no matter how hard I try I can't change anything.

Is there some sort of an update download that I can use to correct this problem?

Windows Explorer (Not Responding) While In Office Programs

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 01:26 PM PST

Whenever I open or save a file inside an Office program such as Word or Excel the Windows Explorer file menu directory does not respond or allow me to navigate.  It locks up for about minute before allowing me to save the file or open one up where I want.  If I directly use Windows Explorer inside Windows 8.1 but outside of an Office program it works perfectly.  I did not have this problem until recently and cannot identify the cause.  I ran windows 8.1 in safe mode with network and still have the problem.  Ran Windows updates so everything is current. 

Vista Again

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 12:31 PM PST

Recently downloaded Windows Vista update causes Word 2007 to no load downloaded .doc files. I used a system restore and everything was fine. However, I left automatic updates on and Vista updated and voila! I am back to where I am. How do I fix the issue for the Vista update?

I asked this question a year ago and now I am having he same issue. However, the solution I tried does not work. Are there any suggestions? I have no clue what to do at this point...

Word 2010 Headers and Footers - Header on First Page only and Footers on all pages

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 11:05 AM PST

I am having a lot of trouble trying to sort a document out.  It's minutes I've prepared for a kids club.  I have a letterhead which has a header and footer already, whenever I type a letter I type the letter onto the letterhed and its easy.  However, the header is not text, it's pictures, the footer is text though.   

I have copied and pasted these minutes onto the letterhead and it is 4 pages, the header is on every page, so is the footer.   I only want the header to be on the first page.  I've tried choosing different first page but it deletes the header from the first page and leaves it on the remaining 3.  Its the other way round I want it but I'm not sure how to achieve this.  Can anyone give me step by step instructions on how to remove the header from the other 3 pages? Many thanks

Prevented from saving—the Save As dialog box displays

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 09:08 AM PST

Split from this thread.

I am having the same problem. When I try to save the file, the "save as" always comes up. If I try to save another version with a new name it will not do it. It goes almost all the way through the process and then the new file comes up with the new name but is empty. The if I try to send it to trash it tells me that it can't be sent to trash because its open. But the only file that''s open is the original file. It seems as if the files are tied in some way. Really strange.

I have now done the fix suggested in this discussion - ie control>program>change>repair. And that has been done but no change!

I also tried the suggestion of copying all but last paragraph to a new file and got the same as above. ie a new file that was somehow tied to the original file. Because it also did the "save as" I closed it and tried to send it to the bin. Then got the message that the file was still open and the only file still open was the original file. When I closed that the new file went to the bin. So somehow the files are tied.

As these are critical files that I need to be able to update and alter with new names, hoping someone else has a fix!

Thanks for your help

Superimposing content in word doc

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 08:47 AM PST

I have designed some promotional bookmarks using a standard template (promotional bookmarks) and this works fine even managing to print off sample back to back. However, when I close document down and then go back in the front and back have become superimposed onto each other. Does anyone have any suggestions as to why this might be happening and what I can do about it? (I'm a bit of a digital duffer but like to have a go!)

MS word Grammatical detector doesn't consider equations

Posted: 08 Nov 2014 05:49 AM PST

In MS Word 2013 or older when I write something like: "He starts in the time $t$" (when $ $ shows the equation box), it causes a grammatical error under time. So, I should use a trick to write "He starts in the time$ t$" instead. But, even this doesn't solve my entire problem; because though the error disappears, after opening the document in another version of MS Word, lots of the beginning spaces vanishes from the formulas.

So, please tell me how to fix this strange problem.

AirDrop sharing in Word

Is it possible to share documents via AirDrop? It would be just great option for iOS users.

If not, can we talk about future update in which it would be added?

I might be missing something here. Please elaborate.

Suse, RedHat, and others are GNU/Linux distributions. A GNU/Linux
distribution contains the Linux kernel and the GNU toolset which
eanable it to function as a Unix-like OS. There are several officially
certified Unices; AFAIK, no GNU/Linux distribution has received official
Unix certification. Sun's Solaris is a certified Unix. The wikipedia
is your friend:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/3/32/Unix.png

Licenses...
The development process for GNU/Linux uses an open source model, with the
GPL license at the core of its success, IMO. Until recently, Sun has used
a totally closed-source development process. Now, it has released
OpenSolaris which has some desirable features, but without totally
adopting a GPL philosophy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OpenSolaris
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Development_and_Distribution_License

Choices...
As for me, I use GNU/Linux because it gives the stability and features
that I need, which includes the freedom to use it as I see fit.

GNU/Linux had a relatively slow start, with some "ugly" interfaces along
the way. The OS has momentum now with more and more developers, software
projects, and new hardware devices joining the GNU/Linux camp everyday.
The "face" that GNU/Linux presents to the world is also a lot prettier
today than several years ago. (More Cover Girl makeup?) It has some fancy
3-D GUIs available via Beryl, or just a clean, nicely rendered user
desktop as typified by the XFCE project. Be advised that if you
are used to the "one-size fits all" approach offered by MS, then you could
be confused by the wealth of choices:

MS: "What's a firefox and why would you use that if our sweet, little IE
is available?"

Be advised that that GNU/Linux still does not adhere to that approach.
The user is assumed to be educated enough to use the tool which is most
appropriate for a given task. If there is no tool available which fits the
need, then new projects spring up to fill the void.

Well, I've never had a bad keyboard, but since everything is working with

it's really the keyboard, swap it on someone else's working system and

Things do break. One session everything is fine, but on the next
boot.... Nothing. Have had it happen several times. Ultimately, the
problems were traced to n chips on the motherboard, bad power supply
voltage output, intermittently going bad CPU, overheating CPU, etc.

Why did you use IDE2 instead of IDE0 for your hard drive? Your only one,
right? Just curious. A few years ago, if you had done that, your system
wouldn't have booted. Then, you were required to have the boot drive on
IDE0.

"Waiting for root filesystem" on new kernel.

Posted: 02 Sep 2007 04:07 AM PDT

 

A bare 2.6.22 from kernel.org

 

Yeah, I thought of that after I hung up, but I will have to wait till I
get to a broadband line to download the stock Debian source.

But I am beginning to think that it is a problem with this shuttle. First
off, the BIOS comes up with the message "For engineering use only - Not
for production use".

Second, there is no BIOS entry whatsoever for the onboard ethernet port.
And Debian can't see it and so far none of my probing has found it,
although I get a connect light when I hook it to the switch.

Third, the BIOS indicates that there are 3 IDE channels in the machine,
but there is actually only one IDE channel and 2 sata connectors.

Forth, there is nothing about Sata in the BIOS - period. The BIOS thinks
that the existing Sata drive is the master on the non-existant second IDE
channel. Probably the reason that initrd is looking in the wrong place.

It almost appears like the machine was delivered with a pre production
BIOS. When I get to work tomorrow I will go to Shuttle.com and see what I
can see. If nothing, they will get the machine back.

Thanks

Updated just over two weeks ago. Previous version was dated Feb. 20, 2006.
 

Yeah - the kernel can't find the card, because Plug N Pray didn't work
correctly.
 

This only shows the IRQs for stuff that is being used by the kernel. As
the card isn't configured, it doesn't show up. This would be the same for
the serial ports, which only show when in use.
 

Same basic idea - card isn't configured in PnP, so it's not showing up
here either.

On your followup, you write:
 

which is a PCI card, and much more capable than the ISA card (even
assuming that you were able to get it to configure).
 

Windoze has a greater number of drivers, and consequently can't include
them all in the basic install. That's an advantage and a disadvantage as
you have found.

Ohhhh, So gonna love this. I got to the Nvidia installer window and it gave
me an error, something to do with the Kernal. The installation aborted and
I'm back at the command line. Restart X with the "gdm start" and I get this
message that X can't start due to a problem with the video driver, which
refered to the xorg.conf file. Opened the xorg.conf file using vi. The
sections for "Device", "Monitor", and "Screen" were changed. I swear I didn't
edit the file before. I was going to by a procedure I found on a website but
decided to do a little more digging and found that procedure wouldn't solve
my problem. I called it up in gedit once in read only mode to look at the
video sections. I made a backup copy of xorg.conf, at least I thought sure I
did, before I went and messed with the driver install, but I can't seem to
find it.

Is there a way to force a re-identify of my video card & monitor, or restore
the original video drivers, from the command line?

OR - I'm boned, inseret CD, install? :-)
