Despite formatting I am unable to italicise words? any ideas please I have to submit an essay for my MA degree in 2 days!

Despite usin the formatting button and shortcut I am unable to itallicise words - (the bold and underline work) Any ideas please - I need to submit an essay for my MA degree in 2 days and need the Harvard referencing right!

Windows fakes an Italic by making it lean at an angle.
Tahoma doesn't actually have an italic and Apple has adopted a strict WYSIWYG with fonts since OSX came out.
Choose another font. The separate styles will be list in the Font palette.

  • Created document on Mac Air Pages, saved it to USB drive formatted to ExPat but on Windows 8.1 desktop, this file came up as a JPEG image.  Any ideas please?

    I created a document on new Mac Air 11.6 Pages and saved it to a USB flash drive, formatted with ExFat.  However, on Windows 8.1 desktop, this shows and opens as a JPEG file rather than in MS Word.  When I try to open it with Word, it cannot be edited.  Any ideas please?

    Of course Windows (Office) can't open a pages document.... you have to save as word or export to word.
    I took it for granted you knew this (that's my fault). Each word processor has it's own language (programing). Saving the pages file to a disk and putting it in a windows machine then opening it is like someone mailing you a newspaper  or magazine in a foreign language you do not read and wondering why you only looked at the pictures.
    Not only are you new to Apple it's now apparent you are unknowledgeable about using and understanding technology.
    This is basic stuff... Some classes or books on how to transfer/exchange files from one application and operating system to another will help you... or ... just stick with one operating system and applications.

  • Can't boot up after Yosemite, not even in safe mode. Just hangs, or states unable to repair. Any ideas?

    When starting up it tried to install Yosemite, got about half way throught then stated it could not repair the disk (it wasn't broken!). Now it doesn't even try to install, it just get half way through a normal boot up and hangs. Have no access to anything so can't even uninstall/delete. The boot disk that came with my Mac doesn't work either. Can anyone think of a way out of this and still save what's on the disk?

    Hey there, it looks like you have a serious issue with Windows. However, as far as I can tell, Firefox is unable to cause this to your system. The update is confined to the Firefox program files, at worst it would make Firefox unusable.
    Unfortunately I don't have any idea what might have caused the issue in this case, but I'd suggest asking in forums that are specifically for Windows. They might be able to help you with getting back to a functional system.

  • I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.

    What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
    But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed.

    You likely didn't erase the ENTIRE drive of the later OS X operating system before installing Snow Leopard. You just targeted the Macintosh HD partition.
    Try again, this time make sure to select the name and size of your boot drive at the top to catch the hidden EFI partition that's responsible for the splash screen at boot time (no screen = white)
    It will take two reboots to reset the EFI again, so once Snow is installed and reboots, reboot again.

    For the last few weeks, the iTunes store has been displayed with empty graphic rectangles (with a blue box containing a white question mark centered in the rectangles), bits of text, and some buttons. The page extends quite a ways, including what I assume would be all the links to all the music...
    If all you are trying to do is buy music, you can easily buy MP3s at any online music download store (e.g. amazon.com) and add them to your iTunes library.

    Can we assume you are bringing up the "Control Center" and the Airplay icon is not there?

    Hi Joseph, was hoping the resident TM expert Pondini would drop in, but I guess not.
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu at top of the screen. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    *Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
    (Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
    Repair the external/backup drive also.

  • I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?

    I have been sent a secure CD of zip folders but double clicking only comes up with the message unable to unarchive, error 1 - operation not permitted, any ideas please?

    First thing coming to mind:
    do you double-click on the zip files on the CD ?
    Maybe the "unzip" tries to write in-place to the CD which of course is not possible.
    Have you tried to copy one of them to your OSX volume/harddisk and thhen double-click the copy ?

  • Pages won't export to word - any ideas?

    I finalized my edits (track changes) to a Pages document and went to export to Word only to find the program wouldn't function.  I need to get this to my client in Word format and I feel stuck.  Any ideas are appreciated.

    Well, I tried export to Word before saving the document in Pages. It worked fine! I didn't finalize the changes in any way. I could open the .doc document and it still showed the changes and comment field.
    I think something is corrupt in your document. You could select the content and paste into a new blank template and save it and then export to a Word document. Then undo all changes in the original document to the point you started the changes and copy and paste  into a new document and give it a different name. Now you have a before and after the changes and hopefully the  corruption didn't get copied over.

  • "unable to open project" Any ideas how I might get it back?

    I am not able to open a project i was working on this morning.
    I have no idea why. They only thing I can think of is that after I finished
    the project, I saved it to one folder in the drive.
    Later, however, I changed my mind and decided to move the project to
    a different folder. I got a message something about having to log in as administrator in order to be able to transfer the project from one folder to another, which I thought was weird.
    So, now, when I tried to open the project from within FCP,
    I get "unable to open project."
    And I can't find the project anywhere in my computer.
    Does anyone have any idea why this is happening?
    More importantly, can i bring back my project?
    I checked the "Autovault folder, but it wasn't there either.
    thanks all!

    Look in the Scratch Disk Settings. Look to see where you're autosaves are kept, and see if there's one there... if you change the location of this folder, you end up with one for each location. So do look where they are currently set to save.
    If you have none at all, why not? Did you turn off the autosave feature?

  • My iphone 4 went into recovery mode for some reason and it is unable to be restored. any ideas how to fix this?

    my iphone went into recovery mode for some reason and is unable to be restored. it wont turn on and when plugged into a charger it shows a usb and itunes symbol. so i plugged it into my mac and connected to itunes then itunes said it has detected a phone in recovery mode and needs to be restored. so it goes through the restoration process for a couple minutes or so then stops and says itunes is unable to restore because an unknown error occurred (2001) or (2006) and other times i try it says its unable to restore because itunes cant detect the device... any ideas how to fix this?

    Errors 2000-2009 (from Apple support): If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software.
    2001: Use up to date software. Make sure your device is in DFU Mode: http://www.iclarified.com/entry/index.php?enid=1034
    2006: Use a different USB cable. Possibly the one that came with your iPhone.
