Are the Help pages supposed to look this way?

I think I may have one something to foul up the fonts - ? If I did, anyone know how to reduce them to original size?
Here's a screenshot:

Well, I'm not much further ahead, but someone else reading this may be.
Here's your screen shot, overlaid by results of the same search done in Tiger (OS X v10.4.x) on my iBook
Leopard (OS X v10.5.x) looks much the same, with blue stripes behind alternate items in the list. Although the article titles look about the same size, they may be quite different, going by the size of the red amber and green gumdrops—yours look about half the diameter of mine.
The main difference is the extra line of grey type between the titles. The first one is the same as the first line on the "Formatting specific chart types" page in Help. The others aren't (or at least do not match the first lines of the articles in the version of Help that I see).
No idea where the setting (if any) that caused this is located. Up to Tiger, the help viewer was a separate application and had its own menu bar, but even then there was no Preferences item in the application menu. In Leopard (and, I assume in Snow Leopard), the Help (viewer) window appears as a floating window without an associated set of menubar menus.
The Tools button (gear) in the Help window's toolbar contains menu items to make text larger or smaller, but while these work on the article pages (and seem to hold their setting when moving from one article to another), they appear to have no effect on the search results page.
Two further questions: Does this happen ONLY with Numbers Help, or are other Help files affected in a similar manner? (Would indicate whether the problem lies with the Help viewer system rather than the Numbers Help file.) Does it happen if the Help files are accessed through a different User Account? (Would indicate whether the problem is associated with your account or with the system.)
I'm thinking this is more an OS X issue than a Numbers one. If you haven't received an answer by sometime tomorrow, I'd suggest reposting the question (with all the details placed here so far) in one of the forums in the Mac OS X v10.6 (Leopard) section of Discussions.
Regards,
Barry

    It could be the work of one of your add-ons, or even add / mal-ware.
    Look thru your add-ons list and make sure you know what each one is

  • IPod not recognized (but with other symptoms than on the help pages)

    Hey people,
    My iPod is not recognized by windows (vista). I did take a look on the help pages, but nothing helps.
    When I connect my iPod, after a minute or so I get a message from windows saying "Do you want to check and repair the IPOD OF JASPER?" (sorry for the translation, I actually get the message in dutch). Then I can choose of two options, yes or no...
    When I click yes, it gives an error 'Could not be completed because the disk is not ready.'.
    When I click no, I get a message from iTunes saying 'iPod could net be recognized, please disconnect and try again.'
    Yesterday, it did show up in iTunes, but then iTunes immediately froze and my explorer (taskbar/windows explorer) too. I had to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the off/on button...
    What's even weirder; When I initially installed this iPod, it all worked. I put music on it, all fine. Then the second time i connected it, this things mentioned above happened. Then a few days ago, it suddenly connected in the right way. And now it isn't anymore....
    Anyone please help?!
    I hope this is not any of those stupid security things of vista....
    Greeting, Japzerr

    Do you have a network or external drive that is sometimes connected to your computer and sometimes not?
    Start with these articles and see if that gets you anywhere...

  • In synk, when I click "add device" instead of opening a window to enter the codes, it opens another firefox window and takes me to the help page for synk. [SOLVED]

    I got a new laptop today and after downloading firefox I tried to use the synk feature and it says I have to add device on my old computer. In following the directions I never get to the screen to enter the codes from my new computer onto the old one. When I click add device on the old computer it takes me to the help page on the web with the same directions that took me there in the first place! So, how am I supposed to synk my new computer if I can't add device on the old or simply log in to my synk account on the new?

    Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

  • The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page with my downloadable list of songs. How do you down load a purchase? I have made 3 purchases of the same song and can not down load it and the HELP instructions don't help.

    The download button as described on the HELP page doesn't appear on the page listing my purchase.
    The HELP instructions list that such a button must be clicked to down load an item.
    I have made 3 purchases of the same song in an attempt to download it.
    Only one of those purchases appears on the page that list purchases available to down load.
    I wrote out a copy of the HELP page instructions (the page can't be printed) so I could accurately follow it as I tried to do the down load.
    Is there some secret to downloading a purchase or causing the down load button to appear?

    Hello L Swarz,
    Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing when downloading your purchased song to your iPod nano.
    I am not sure if you have tried these specific steps, but I recommend downloading the purchased song to iTunes on your computer using the steps in the following article:

    What are the right content conversion perameters in this case?
    Appreciate your help asap!T

    if this is the input structure then FCC goes like this ....
    Recordset:Header,Body,SubBody,Trailer
    Header.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,30.. (based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Header.endSeparator - 'nl'
    SubBody.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,20  (based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Body.endSeparator - 'nl'
    Trailer.fieldFixedLengths – 10,20,30….(based on you are structure fixed lengths)
    Trailer.endSeparator - 'nl'
    We might have to try out SubBody.endSeparator - 'nl' if Body.endSeparator - 'nl' does not insert a new line after each body record.

  • Having dowanloaded Yosemite, I find that I can' enlarge the print on the Help pages.   The Command  keystroke does n`t seem to work.   Any body any ideas as to haw to do it in the new OS X ?

    Having downloaded Yosemite, I find that I can't enlarge the print on the Help pages.   The 'Command +' keystroke doesn't seem to work.   Anybody any ideas as to how to do it in the new OS X 10.10 ?

    Hi ..
    Command + T should definitely work.
    Restart your Mac then try again.
    If that doesn't help, a Safe Mode boot deletes some system caches that may help after an OS X upgrade.
    Top left corner of your screen click the  Apple   > Shut Down.
    After your Mac shuts down, wait 10 seconds, then press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold down the Shift key. You should press the Shift key as soon as possible after you hear the startup tone, but not before.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and progress indicator.
    Once you are in Safe Mode, go back to the Apple  menu. From the drop down menu click:  Restart
    Then try enlarging the text in a Help window.
    About Safe Mode.

    I don't know since I don't share anything. You'll have to peruse the help files and check the permissions and ACLs on the Shared folder. According to the permissions on the Shared folder everyone can R&W. If you want those to be inherited by everything dropped into the folder, add an ACL for

    I heard back from Nike+ support and they said that there will be newer pics soon and it also appears that this corrected itself for my runs, but not the user pic, I only get girly options, I wouldn't mind a picture of a guy on 'ROIDS!!! Just kidding, but something less feminine or cartoon like, I'm trying to be serious about this and the site should reflect that.

  • Photoshop opens itself the help page while running script

    Hello everyone.
    I have a script that works for hours, and I noticed that sometimes (about 1 time per hour, but it varies) Photoshop opens itself the browser to display the help page.
    Anyone know what can cause this?
    Thank you in advance for your answers.

    Here is my script:
    http://pastebin.com/j0Sp9u5K
    But I do not think my code is the cause ...
    I would like to share another concern.
    So my script works for hours, and despite the use of the command "app.purge (PurgeTarget.ALLCACHES)" Photoshop eventually crash putting me the message "Not enough memory to preview" (I do not know the exact message in English, I have a French version).
    There is no error code, and I tried to isolate my loop in a try / catch, but even so the error is crashing my script.
    I turned off the preview of the layers in the Layers palette, the script runs a little longer, but still ends by crashing.

    How cann I now swap platforms for Adobe Design Standard CS5.5? Do I realy need to buy CS6? Or afer dowloading the mac version of CS5.5 I get the key. And if I realy need upgreade the CS5.5 cann I use the Mac version of CS6 for the dowloaded mac version of CS5.5? Is it possible?

    Thanks !
    I didn't know that I cann buy CS6 Mac upgrade in Adobe Store.

    How does look the procedure?
    Do I need to install first the CS5.5 Mac on my Macbook and then upgrade it or is it not necessary?
