I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

On my previous Mac (long, sad story) I had Office for Mac and liked it a lot.  I was collaberating on some fairly complex legal documents, and never noticed any compatibility problems with Windows Office.  That said, it is expensive.  For most documents, I simply open the Word document in Pages and export it to Word when I am finished.  I sometimes get the message that there is a missing font, but the computer uses a substitute that is quite acceptable.  I have never had someone say that they had difficulty with a document I exported to Word.
Numbers and Excel aren't as compatible in my experience, and I have gotten some surprises when I hadn't tweaked the settings properly when exporting to Excel.
The other component of iWork is Keynote, and I like it much better than Powerpoint; to me it is just easier to use. I have never tried converting back and forth between Keynote and Powerpoint.
Depending on what grade your kids are in and what they are doing, I think I would start off with iWork and see what, if any, problems they encounter.  Of course, if they are going to use the computer for a class in Office or its components, your kids are going to need a Windows machine with Windows Office, because Office for Mac is enough different that when the teacher says, "Now, move your mouse here and click on....", your kids are going to be lost.
Hope this is useful.

    Backup you library and restore to the new computer.
    iTunes: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive
    or

    - After all the media is on the new computer connect the iPod to the computer and make a backup by right clicking one the iPod under Devices in iTunes and select Back Up
    - Restore the iPod from that backup
    Note that the iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music.

    You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
    iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year.  It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you.  Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices.  See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

  • How can I create a solution with Livecycle

    I work for a high school and we have about 12 pdfs that we need parents to read/scroll through, then 10 (different) pages that we want them to print, complete and return to the school.  Finally, we want them to see a "Thank you, you have done all you have to do" type screen.  We want to make it as user friendly as possible so I was thinking...
    Reading pages, 1 at a time with next at bottom.
    Click next and it takes them on.  When they get to printing pages 1 print button prints all pages we need them to print. Click next, and it takes them to optional print pages.
    Click next and it says, thank you.
    How can I make this happen if I already have all the pdfs?
    Help please.

    Thank you soo much.  A few questions?
    They weren't created in designer but could I just import all of them?
    How do "build the structure" for the naviagtion?
    Where/how do you add the script.
    Thanks again,

    Subject: How can I create a solution with Livecycle
    I assume that all of these PDFs were created in Designer. If so you can add any buttons that you want to appear on every page (Next, Previous) onto the Master page then there is script you can add to the buttons to actual move the pages (xfa.host.pageDown() and xfa.host.pageUp()). The Prin button can be added to the specific page and you can pass the page numbers that you want to print as a parameter to the print command. Lastly when you get to the last page and the click Complete you can display a messageBox with your Thank you message.
    Hope that helps

  • How can I create a query with web service data control?

    I need to create a query with web service data control, in WSDL, it's query operation, there is a parameter message with the possible query criteria and a return message contains the results. I googled, but cannot find anything on the query with web service. I cannot find a "Named Criteria" in web service data control like normal data control. In Shay's blog, I saw the topics on update with web service data control. How can I create a query with web service data control? Thanks.

  • How can I create a video with effects using my ipad?

    How can I create a video with effects (sepia, B&W, Negative, oval or any other shape borders) using my ipad?  I would Like to keep a higher res and also be able to shrink it down to email or send in a MMS. Or should I just upload it to my PC and mess with it there? Some of the apps I have are very easy to use compared to the learning curve needed for video editing software.
    Thanks

    Thats the Problem . . . how many apps do I have to try until I find the one I want? I noticed a few will render the video thus losing its original size. When I went to edit it more in iMovie the video was smaller--not good. And what software do you suggest, Templeton, for the PC? I love the apps because they are easy. I dont have hours to mess around on a software to figure out if its something I want. Im looking for simplicity. Maybe Ill get more into it later. I just want to record simple video of my playing the guitar for self analysis and create a short video for family and friends.
    Apps:
    iMovie
    CinemaFXV
    VideoFix
    Cartoonatic
    Video illusion
    VidEditor
    Software:
    Windows Movie maker (wont accept .mov files)
    After Effects (Too little time, so much to learn)
    Wondershare (Very easy but little choices)
    VideoPad (Again. Few choices)

  • How can I create drop shadows with PSE10

    How can I create drop shadows with PSE10 & PE10?

    Layer styles let you quickly apply effects to an entire layer. In the Effects panel, you can view a variety of predefined layer styles and apply a style with just a click of the mouse.
    Three different layer styles applied to text 
    The boundaries of the effect are automatically updated when you edit that layer. For example, if you apply a drop shadow style to a text layer, the shadow changes automatically when you edit the text.
    Layer styles are cumulative, which means that you can create a complex effect by applying multiple styles to a layer. You can apply one style from each style library per layer. You can also change a layer’s style settings to adjust the final result.
    When you apply a style to a layer, a style icon appears to the right of the layer’s name in the Layers panel. Layer styles are linked to the layer contents. When you move or edit the contents of the layer, the effects are modified correspondingly.
    Once you choose Layer > Layer Style > Style Settings, you can edit the settings of a layer’s style or apply other style settings or attributes available in the dialog box.
    Lighting Angle Specifies the lighting angle at which the effect is applied to the layer.
    Drop Shadow
    Specifies the distance of a drop shadow from the layer’s content. You can also set the size and opacity with the sliders.
    Outer Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the outside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Inner Glow Size Specifies the size of a glow that emanates from the inside edges of the layer’s content. You can also set the opacity with the slider.
    Bevel Size Specifies the size of beveling along the inside edges of the layer’s content.
    Bevel Direction Specifies the direction of the bevel, either up or down.
    Stroke Size Specifies the size of the stroke.
    Stroke Opacity Specifies the opacity of the stroke.
