Microsoft Word change: command to option for navigating?

I recently got a new MacBook Pro through my company which came installed with Microsoft Word 2004 v. 11.2, a newer version from that which I was using previously. I've noticed that in Word I now need to use the "option" key to navigate around a file while using the arrow keys and avoiding using the mouse; previously I used the "command" or "apple" key to do so. Yet in Powerpoint the "command" key is still used to maneuver around and select text (when used in conjunction with the shift key). Perhaps I'm just resistent to change, but it bugs me to have to alternate between using the command key and option key among two applications (from the same company, no less). I've also just notcied though that in this email I navigate using the option key.
So my question is, what's with this non-standardized system and is there a way for me to specify in my version of Word that I greatly prefer using the command arrow to navigate and select text?
Thanks,
Chris

Online help (as of LabVIEW 7.0?), Index, Command Line, User-defined arguments - It will show you the following:
You also can pass LabVIEW-defined or user-defined arguments when you launch LabVIEW from the command line. To pass user-defined arguments in the command line, enter two hyphens (--) surrounded by spaces before the set of user-defined arguments. LabVIEW does not use any arguments after the two hyphens to launch labview.exe. LabVIEW passes the arguments after the two hyphens to the block diagram of the VI you launch. Use the Application:Command Line Arguments property to read the user-defined command-line arguments passed when LabVIEW launches.
For example, to launch mycool.vi and pass user-defined arguments, use the following command:
c:\labview\la
bview.exe c:\coolapp\mycool.vi -- 1000 sine
On the block diagram of the mycool.vi, use the Application:Command Line Arguments property to read the 1000 and sine arguments you passed and handle the values.

  • Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User

    Hi, everybody
    I'm just starting our attempt to put together ZfD app packages for MS Office 2007. I've tried 2 different route with poor results for each. I'm looking for guidance and suggestions and, hey really, the simple final solution. :)
    Objectives: Each app package will install locally one of the Office apps (e.g., Word) if it is not installed and then launch it, otherwise it will launch it. It gets installed locally to the C: drive using all the MS default choices, but runs from the desktop ZEN/NAL shortcut. All desktops are XP, not Vista or W7.
    Routes tried and failed...
    1) Simple app, uses distribution and run scripts to figure out if already installed, then installs using network shared drive and config.xml file for just the one app. The result ought to work -- no particular error in the package, those are fixed -- but what happens is something different each time with the MS setup.exe, and it never does complete without its own error (various and different each time). So, this appears to be completely unreliable because launching MS's setup.exe from a simple app is unpredictable and incomplete.
    2) Snapshot of a successful setup.exe and config.xml install. This ALMOST works... well it does in fact work but the snapshotted app gives an error once it finishes launching -- "Microsoft Word Has Not Been Installed for the Current User" -- and exits. From the research I've done on this message, the MS program sees the "wrong" Windows profile on the destination environment, compared to that in the snapshot, and figures it's now been installed from a bootleg copy of Office 2007.
    At this stage all I can think of is expletives. We've paid for everything, I've followed all the usual and customary steps, played by the rules, been polite (and also used the necessary computer swear words), and now I just want to insult everyone in Microsoft's marketing department for ruining everyone's life yet again. Can't we just do this, is it too much to ask!?!
    Please help me. What is really going to work for distributing and maintaining Office 2007 apps using our ZfD environment? ALL USEFUL SUGGESTIONS WELCOME. Thank you. Bless you.

    These questions are really best in the Microsoft Office Forums.
    These are MS Office Questions not ZEN Questions.
    Novell did not design Microsoft's Office Install.
    I have nothing against snapshots, but it does not work great with the Office
    installs, which you yourself know since you are posting here with problems
    based on that.
    And your other method you are trying with the break out is not working well.
    We also know that from experience.
    We can tell you that the way most people install it and the way most people
    succeed doing it, is by doing it the way recommended and designed by
    Microsoft.
    ZEN does that just fine.

  • Is there a command line option for VNC to automatically launch in fullscreen mode?

    I can launch a VNC window from the command line, as such:
    open vnc://username:password@hostname
    ... but I'd like it to automatically start in full screen mode. Is there a command line option for this?
    I'm using an old MacMini purely to connect to another Mac over screen sharing, but when the MacMini boots I'd like it to go straight into the fullscreen of the other desktop.
    Many thanks!

  • Microsoft Word change Language ID

    Hello,
    I am completely new to Applescript and was trying to make one of my first script without much success. I was writing with the following code to change the language of document in Microsoft Word. I want to prompt the user with several options:
    tell application "Microsoft Word"
              set langList to {"spanish", "spanish modern sort", "english uk", "english us"}
      choose from list langList with prompt "Choose Language"
              set language ID of text object of active document to result as text
    end tell
    This is what I tried but the following error appears. It is in Spanish but I guess you guys might know what is the problem... I think it has something to do with language ID not accepting strings but I have no clue how to solve it.
    Resultado:
    error "Microsoft Word ha detectado un error: No puede ajustarse language ID of text object of active document a \"english us\"." number -10006 from language ID of text object of active document
    Any hints?
    Thanks

    WMF is a Windows (Windows Meta File) vector format that doesn't include fonts, which means that you might see some font substitution when placing the art in Indesign. You don't need that option in Word, you only need the import filter in Indesign (which is definitely there). If you have wmf clipart, you can definitely use it in ID.
    If the art is in some other format, what format is it?
    A really simple method of getting art from a Word file (if that's the only way you can get the art into anything) is to Place the Word file with graphics included, go to the Links menu and unembed it. Then you can open it with Illustrator (if appropriate, depends on the kind of art) and fix the colors (which are almost certainly RGB).

  • Changing the material options for multiple selections doesn't seem to work

    Hi!
    Is it just me or is it not possible to select multiple layers and change their material options like specularity and shininess all at once? Selecting the layers and clicking on cast shadows certainly does work like this, but for some reason when I do the same and change the specularity, it changes only for that layer, regardless of the selection for the other layers.
    Are you able to change material options for multiple layers in one click?

    Works for me... Not sure what else to say. The only thing to consider would be that you need to expose the same properties on all layers or else AE can't match the property streams, so it may be advisable to hit AA to expose all material options instead of just U or UU to reveal changed/ animated properties.

  • File name as command line option for multiple VM processes

    "-Xloggc:/tmp/gc.log" is the option I'd like to set, but every process will log to that file and even if we don't experience any concurrency issues the data still isn't useful because I can't tell which process did what.
    The island files are cleverly named to include their process number, can I do similar for command line options or will I be restricted to a single JVM?

  • 'autorotate and center' command line option for acroread toPostscript

    Hello,
    Is there a command line option available for 'autorotate and center' (like in the graphical view of acroread) while you convert a pdf to postscript on command line?
    I must convert an A4 pdf to 'portrait' letter (fanfold). With the command below, everything is fine only the pdf is not rotated.
    My command looks like:
    acroread -toPostScript -size 792x612 -shrink -expand < pdffile.pdf
    Mvg,
    wim

    Hello,
    Our application generates A4 pdfs (reports) in portrait format. Now we have some matrix printers (Epson LQ680Pro) which are feeded with fanfold letter paper (11x8.5in - 792x612pix). The fanfold paper hangs on each other with the larges side (11in) - 90° rotated as by 'normal' paper.
    What we have to do, is rotate (90°) and scale (A4 to letter) our pdf before we can print it correclty.
    I've now fixed it with following commands (because acroread can't rotate, we use pdf90 to rotate our pdf first):
    pdf90 --outfile tmp.pdf report.pdf;
    acroread -toPostScript -size 792x612 -shrink -expand < tmp.pdf | lpr -P Epson_LQ680Pro -o Resolution=180dpi -o PageSize=FanLetter;
    note: the Fanletter papersize is a self-defined papersize in the pdd for the printer.
    Sincerely,
    Wim

  • What is the " Change voicemail passw" option for?

    I change the voicemail pass on my phone, but it never prompt u for one, and its visual mail, so if the phone is unlocked anyone can hear ur messages. So whats that option for? Also the iphones at the apple store would actually be dialing in to the voicemail the way regular phones do,,, can I do that on my phone? Am I missing something?

    When you call your vm from another phone you need to enter your password, which is why you need to have one.

  • CVP Language change (English and option for other Language)

    Hi,
         Currently in our IP IVR we give our callers the option to switch to spanish.  I want to do the same in CVP but I'm not sure how.
    I guess I could create an English page and a Spanish page so that if the callers enter the option for Spanish it would "move" the call to the Spanish page in which all prompts are Spanish.
    Currently, using IP IVR,  our English and Spanish prompts are name the same so we can just send the call back to the beginning and change the Language.
    Any ideas are appreciated.
    thanks

    I see three methods:
    1. Set the default audio path to something like: http:// address>/
    Create a session variable say Lang - Intial value "en-us"
    Prompt for Spanish. If they want that, reset Lang="es-es"
    All prompts in the application would be set as {Session.data.Lang}/app/my_application/foobar.wav
    2. In CVP7 you can start off with Default Audio Path = http:// address>/en-us/my_application/ and use the Application Modifier node to reset the default audio path for Spanish. All prompts would be a WAV file name like foobar.wav
    3. make the language selection a microapp - I always use microapps for such simple things - and pass the language in as a session variable which then flows through to the VXML application.
    I think what is holding you back is that you did not realize that what goes into an audio element as the WAV file can be a complete URL, or part of a URL that is appended to the Default Audio Path, and you can include Session Variables in this. There is a lot of flexibility here.

  • How do I change the Sync Option for my 4s

    How do I change my sync option so photos and music are stored in the cloud rather than on 4s phone; to make room for more photos and music on my phone?

    You can't "sync" with iCloud, only back up.  For music, you can use iTunes Match to store your music and stream from iCloud
    Settings > Music > iTunes Match > On.  Then delete music from your phone.
    iTunes Store: Subscribing to iTunes Match
    iTunes in the Cloud, iTunes Match, and iTunes Radio availability
    Currently, you can't store and view photos/videos on iCloud, only back them up (can't be viewed).  IOS 8 will have this option.  You can import photos to your computer:
    iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Suggestion: NEVER post your email address, particualry as your forum user name, in this or any public forum.  It will be picked up by spambots and you'll get flooded with spam.

  • Change default looping option for gif

    Hi,
    Whenever I open a new documents and use "save for web and devices", the looping option for animations always appears as "once" by default. Is there a way to change this default option? (I already tried to include such a change by writing an action for saving with the preferences I like, but it did not work, it saves with whatever number of loops was last used for that document).
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Could be...  I run Windows 7 x64.  At the moment "Forever" is showing by default whenever I do SFW&D.
    I wonder if the import process maybe sets that to "Once" for you...  What I tested on were some animated GIFs I had made entirely in Photoshop.
    Note also that I have Photoshop CS5 Standard, not Extended.  I don't do much with video save for the occasional simple animated GIF for the web.

  • How can I change the import options for an Excel table in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hi,
    I have a problem with an InDesign script that works this way in ID CS4 and ID CS5, but stops working in ID CS5.5.
    What the script should do, is to change the import preferences for a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place an unformatted table into a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is an .xlsx-File.
    function setExcelImportPrefs() {
        with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
             app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
    What the script does (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed into the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as this seems to be the standard preference of InDesign CS5.5 for importing tables out of excel files.
    Does anybody have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

    Okay, now it is working. I had to save the XLSX-file into the older XLS format, but that seems to work quite well.
    But I won't ever understand why InDesign loses its backward compatibility from one version to the other.
    Thank you, -hans-.
