How to make font size in footnotes bigger

Posted: 10 Jan 2013 07:55 AM PST

I just created a new Word doc, and found that the footnotes are so small that I cannot even read them. I created the footnote by the old Alt+F way, and then typed. After typing, I blocked out the footnote, and made the font 12, but they are still so small I can't see them. I'm pretty sure this problem has come up before, but I didn't see anything in the forum suggested threads that addressed this.

Blank Text Box appears when attempting to select Print option

Posted: 04 Jan 2013 12:10 PM PST

When attempting to print a large document a blank text box will appear and in the box is nothing. If you press Ok, cancel, or X 4 times in a row it will close and finally go to the Print section where we can properly print. We have tried this on multiple computer with Word 2010 and the same issue occurs. We believe it may be a formatting problem within the document itself but can't find anything.

Is it legal to use clip-art and modify it by changing color of clothes or background ect

Posted: 04 Jan 2013 11:23 AM PST

Is it legal to use clip-art and modify it by changing color of clothes or background ect.. and pass it off as your own design and sell as logos for companies? Is this considered a copy-right infringement? Would the company unknowing that their logo, that they thought was designed personally by the graphic artist, and purchased from them,  be held liable for use of the clip-art in their advertising as in signs, phone-books, business cards, hats, t-shirts and company vehicles? If if is illegal where would on go to report the person that sold the logo? 
What are some things they would have to do to ensure their logo is legal? Would they have to change everything with the logo they thought was drawn by the person advertising to have made it?

But, it still could not boot directly from cdrom, even after changing to a
newer cd-rw/dvd drive that is capable of booting on a newer machine

So it may be possible that old machines did not have the necessary wiring

even show cdrom drives, in which case it was best to put them after any
hard drives in the drive sequence.

Debian jigdo question

Posted: 07 Apr 2004 07:22 PM PDT

I have two harddisks, and I am trying to install Linux on the second one.
The first one contains WinXP and W2K Server, and the boot sector is in first
harddisk.
When I create a new partition on my second harddisk (by using cfdisk), there
is an option bootable flag for this partition. It cannot be set to true.
(because the MBR is in the first disk, is there a workaround?)
And in the Install Kernel and Driver Modules, I receives "/instmnt mount
fail " message.
When I select the CD drive as data source for installing kernel and drivers,
the installation process seems cannot read from the CD drive, although it
can detect the CD drive exists.

Fedora and XP on 1 Disk

Posted: 07 Apr 2004 11:04 AM PDT

In article <com>,
imotgm <com> writes: 

It happened because the CHS geometry of the disk changed, probably as a
result of running a Microsoft disk partitioning tool that detected the
geometry differently than Linux did, and the Microsoft tool decided to
impose its will on the partition table. The x86 partition table actually
stores partition boundaries using both absolute sector numbers
(essentially "LBA mode") and CHS triplets. Linux only uses the LBA
numbers, but some other OSs use the CHS triplets, and any tool that
modifies partition tables must use both. The OP's partition table is
probably not defining partitions that overlap, despite having that
appearance based on the overlapping start and end cylinder numbers,
because the changed CHS geometry has created partitions that begin and
end mid-cylinder.

Still, this situation is a potential problem waiting to happen. If an OS
or tool uses the CHS geometry and ignores the LBA geometry, it could end
up corrupting some of the data. Some tools will also refuse to work on a
disk with this sort of mismatched geometry. Overall, it's usually best to
correct this sort of situation, if possible. Unfortunately, it's not
always possible, at least not without doing a full backup and restore. The
OP, fortunately, has room on the disk to copy the data and wipe out the
original partitions, as I outlined in an earlier post.

Property to indicate if document is a template?

Posted: 09 Jan 2013 07:28 AM PST

Hi all,

 

Is there a way to progammatically check if a document is a template (.dot or .dotm) or a document (.doc or .docx).

 

I have some code in the AutoOpen() method that I only want to fire if it is a .doc/.docx - i.e. skip the code if someone is editing a template.

 

Note: it actually needs to work in both Word 2003 and Word 2007/2010 as users can have either version.

 

Thanks

Label mail merge, keeps skipping every 8th record. Removing <<Next Record>> from last field does not help

Posted: 07 Jan 2013 09:49 AM PST

MS Word 2010: 
I am doing a mail merge with labels. 
  • There are 8 labels on a page. I have set up the mail merge document and inserted all necessary mail merge fields in the first label in the upper left-hand corner. 
  • Using "update all labels" I have filled out the rest of the page. 
  • It does NOT say <Next Record> for the first label, only for the other 7 labels on the page that were automatically filled out using "update all labels", followed by my merge fields. 
  • The preview seems fine. But when doing the actual merge, it skips records, 8, 16, 24 and so on; "A Field Calculation Error Occurred in record xx".
 Many have said to remove <Next Record> from the last label on the page. However, when I do that it just skips record 7, 14, 21 and so on.

What am I doing wrong?

As often with mailings, I am sort of in a hurry... I hope someone can help. Please?

Table Trouble

Posted: 03 Jan 2013 11:07 AM PST

I am completing a form at work and have placed a table at the top of my document as well as the end.  There are sections for the insertion of a name at the top as well as the bottom of the document.  What I would like to do is free up having to re-type the name at the bottom of the document so I would like the name that I placed in the first section to automatically insert itself into the last section.

 

Is there a simple way to do this?

 

Thanks in advance for any help that I can get concerning this!

Great, that is a good indication, hopefully the 4427 is the same base

I am waiting to hear back from HP also so I can ask them if the base

It works using NTLDR. But now how to boot from CD?

Posted: 06 Apr 2004 03:24 AM PDT

Lenard <0.0.1> wrote in message news:<0.0.1>... 

Thanks!

I tried the steps on my machine, it works! What I did after boot into
rescue mode was:

# mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy
# cd /mnt/floppy
# dd if=/dev/hda2 bs=512 count=1 of=linux_bs.bin
# cd /
# umount /dev/fd0

Copied the file linux_bs.bin into C: and boot from NTLDR, it works the
same.

I'm going to install FC and apply the steps to my friend's notebook,
probably over the weekend. Shouldn't be any problem, although his
floppy is USB, but he's got FAT32 partition, so it should be mountable
from Linux to copy the file across.

Thanks again for all the help.

Ethan J.

ps: Why use NTLDR and not Grub? We're trying out Fedora, leaving the
MBR untouched makes it easier to revert the system back to XP-only
original state. Just delete all Linux partitions. Of course, in my
other machine, I'm using RH9 with Grub -- it's a better boot loader,
yes.

But if you compile from source, then it is relatively easy to track down

no way to look at /dev and figure out which of those devices is

Sorry, I guess that's my rant for the day. :) I agree with you, your

basic. There appears to be some conflict between flexibility and

once on your computer and has expired.

Once the Test Drive has expired on a machine it can not be re-downloaded
for more use. And it can not be turned into a working copy.

So, what you need to do is find a way to get the Microsoft Office 2004
folder from the CD to your hard drive. This is why I suggest trying to
network your Mac with another to copy the installer. Or if you have an
external hard drive that you can move between machines then you can copy
the installer from the CD to the hard drive on a working machine and
then connect it to your Mac with the failed disk drive.

MS Access question

Posted: 09 Mar 2007 08:54 AM PST

Hi,

In case all you need to do is get the data from an mdb file you can use ODBC
(Open Database Connectivity).

Actual technologies is my personal favorite

Another company with ODBC drivers is OpenLink

Have you considered creating a new User in System Preferences and install
the Japanese version in the new user? Be sure to create an Application
folder in the User and not install in the root Application folder.

Use Fast User Switching to quickly go back and forth.

Excel Questions

Posted: 07 Mar 2007 01:03 AM PST

Hi Dave -

I get the impression you may have used the AutoSum button to generate your
totals. It is typical for the feature to assume that all consecutive cells
containing values are to be summed, but if the range is innacurate you need
only edit it to indicate the correct cell reference(s).

OTOH, if your're referring to the appearance of a SmartTag showing up along
with a flag in the corner of the calculation cell, that's tied to the same
"concept" - but they will pop up even if you write the fx from scratch if
there are additional values in contiguous cells. Just click the Smart Tag &
selecty Ignore Error form the contextual menu. Both pieces of markup will go
away. That's just the MS way of trying to let us know that their software
knows more about what we're tying to do than we do :)

I'm not sure if you can turn the "feature" off in MacXL, but on the dark
side you can go to Tools>Options>Error Checking & remove the check for
"Formula omits cells in region" - you might check Excel>Preferences to see
if there is a comparable setting... Not at a Mac right now so I can't check
it myself :(

As to your second ??, I have no idea... Haven't seen it, can't reproduce it.
Perhaps Mr. McGimpsey is on the right track there.

Have you perhaps deleted or disabled any system fonts?

Do NOT turn off Apple's Helvetica, or any other font found in
/System/Library/Fonts.

I agree with Bob that running the Combo updater might help. It's also
possible that you will need to do an Archive & Install of the OS.

Emailing Office Attachments To PC Users

Posted: 28 Feb 2007 07:24 AM PST

If their PC is correctly configured, they can simply double-click the file
AFTER they have saved it to their local drive. Windows will figure it out
from there.

If they double-click in their email program, the email program and Windows
and their security software should all explain how stupid they are by
issuing an error message.

If the system administrator wants to keep his or her job, there should be no
way you can get a file to open by double-clicking it from the email program.
If there is, look for another job: the company is not going to stay in
business that long :-)

Cheers

A customized Entourage install

If Word 5.1 would let you export the addresses as a tab-delimited file
or somesuch, you could import that into Entourage. I have no idea what
Word 5.1 allows. Even if you could copy and paste all the addressees
into a Word file, probably we could help you get that importable, though
at that point, depending on how many addresses, it might be easier just
to enter them manually. 

If you use Entourage and Word together, it's pretty simple and very
good, and integrated such that the contacts in Entourage are directly
accessible from Word without even launching Entourage.

But in general, software has gotten more complicated in the last 10-15
years or so since Word 5.1 was written.

Office 2004, Office 2003 and Office 2007

Actually, now I'm totally confused about what you mean.

The screenshots did show up.

You *prefer* the Word 2004 effect in the second screenshot? Those
screenshots look like completely different effects have been applied to
me--I'm not sure they prove your case (whatever it is).

Help | Send Feedback goes direct to the MacBU--posts here just vanish
into the ether and reach people with no control over the design, they
don't really support anything. I hope your Send Feedback was more
explicit about what you want to see in future versions.

Office 2004 11.3.4 Update

Posted: 27 Feb 2007 07:19 AM PST

Maybe you've done this already; but if not, here's something to check:

Go to your Applications folder > Microsoft Office 2004 > Office. In the
Office folder, look for the file named "Microsoft Component Plugin." The
version for that file should be 11.3.3. If it's anything earlier than that,
you won't be able to install the 11.3.4 update.

Post back and let us know what version you have.
