Does anyone know why the word count in Word for Mac changes so drastically? In one document it goes up and down by several hundred at a time when I have done nothing but scroll through the document.

I am new to the wonderful world of Mac and all of my documents were created in MS Word on my old laptop. I noticed that the word counts were slightly different when I opened the documents in Word for Mac, but then I noticed that they changed drastically. For intance, I opened a document today and after the initial period where the word count shifts, it seemed to settle on 13,171. I left the document for a while to work on some other things and when I came back the word count had changed to 11,677. I didn't do anything to the document. Word counts are important to me since I need at least 60,000 for my PhD Dissertation. Which word count should I trust?

Since Word is a Microsoft product, you should probably post your question on the Microsoft Mac forums:

    does anyone know why there are no football apprs for the iphone for 2011
    I had apps last year for NFL schedules and also for college

    If this is true, then it is because no one is making these apps.
    Why else would it be?

  • HT3783 Does anybody know why my calendar in Outlook Office for Mac duplicates and triplicates entries in the calendar?  I would be really grateful for any explanation...  Kind regards Kate

    Does anybody know why my calendar keeps duplicating diary entries in Outlook office for Mac?
    Many thanks in anticipation.

    No dont worry i am not going to copy this. The reason i am asking is to see if it is legal or not, its worth getting a discount if its available. Looks like its a no though. If you ask me NUS should be prosecuted because you can be minimum age of 16 and get an NUS card and it says on their site under the link to apple store 'are you a student in further education. If so why not take advantage of a 15% discount on apple products'. (or somethign alogn those lines) Now me and my mate are but we arent over 18. Ive emailed them to try and get a confirmation. Anyone know an email address that i can contact apple directly about this with? Also any more answers to the original post are welcome.
    I would also like to know if i can get any sort of discount on apple products whilst under the age of 18, whether straight through apple or using for example NUS cards.

  • Does anyone know of a great photo editor (obviously for Mac)

    I'm looking for one that is able to drag images into eachother. I'm mainly focusing on a great sprite creating program.

    Here's a tip: don't expect folks on here to download an application from a source they don't now just because you won't explain with more care what you want.
    I went to the site and the first thing I noted is that almost all the graphics on there are drawings, not photo edits.
    In one of your posts you say:
    Like I want to be able to make images bigger than a computer screen.
    And you title the thread
    Does anyone know of a great photo editor
    So, are you looking for a drawing programme? A Photo Editor? Or what? If you want a photo editor that will "make images bigger than a computer screen" where is the app to do this? By Printing? By zooming in? How?
    It's very difficult to help someone who apparently wants a drawing programme but that might be a photo editor.
    Regards

  • Does anyone know of a good legal software package for Mac?

    I'm trying to find a software package that include many different kind of legal forms for the mac. Quicken has a business legal pro but it is only for the pc, do you know of anything comparable for the mac?
    Thank you

    Wouldn't it be easier to go to one of the hundreds of online legal forms company and download pdf files as you need them?  I've never heard of one.

  • Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs.  Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it?  Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

    Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments?  Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments.  If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up.  Perhaps stary here...

    Doublechecking. Have you also tried a complete uninstall of both iTunes and all the other related software components and then a reinstall? If not, try the instructions from the following document:

  • HT4641 after modifying a document in Pages I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    after modifying a document in Pages ON MY IPAD AIR I found that there are horizontal lines across every line break when opened and saved it in DropBox.  Does anyone know why?

    Thanks a lot for your swift response. And sorry if it was a bit too hectic to go through my detailed query (which I did because it was misunderstood when I asked previously). As I've mentioned above, I was informed that updating to 5.0.1 would '''require''' me to '''delete''' the current version and then install the new one. And doing so will involve losing all my bookmarks. I guess I should have been more specific and detailed there. By losing, I didn't mean losing them forever. I'm aware that they're secured in some place and deleting and installing the software doesn't harm its existence. What I meant that if I install the new version, I'd have to delete the old one. And after installing the new version, I'd have to transfer them (bookmarks) back from wherever they are. Get it? When it updated from 3.6.9 to 3.6.13, and from 3.6.13 to 3.6.18, I didn't need to follow that process. They were already present on their own.
    BTW, I'm having no problems with 3.6.18 but after learning about the existence of version 5.0.1, I'm a bit too eager to lay my hands over it.
    Thanks for your help; hope this wasn't extremely long.

  • Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?

    Does anyone know why the waveform peak detect function provides accurately the position of the peaks but not the value?
    I have been looking at my data at the position indicated by the function as a peak, and it is correct at that place the wave has its peak, but the value provided by the function is higher than the actual value at that point.

    The help makes it clear that the VI will make a quadratic fit to the data, so the locations are not integers (i.e. not aligned with you exact data). From that analysis, the peak is between two of your points, and slightly above the neighboring data.
    See the coercion dot. Make the "locations" array DBL (Why did you change it to I64, that makes no sense at all!)
    Quote from the help:
    "Locations contains the index locations of all peaks or valleys detected in the current block of data. Because the peak detection algorithm uses a quadratic fit to find the peaks, it actually interpolates between the data points. Therefore, the indexes are not integers. In other words, the peaks found are not necessarily actual points in the input data but may be at fractions of an index and at amplitudes not found in the input array."
    All clear?

  • Hi, I have purchased an audio book on iTunes from an iMac and it does not show up on the cloud so I can't download it on my iPhone. Does anyone know why and how I can proceed to transfer the audio book purchase?

    Hi
    I have purchased an audio book from iTunes with my iMac.
    Now I wanted to listen to it on my iPhone so I proceeded to transfer the purchase and looked for the book in the purchased section of the store in the iTunes on my iPhone but it did not show up.
    Does anyone know why and how I can transfer the audio book purchased on my iPhone so I can listen while away from the desk?
    Thank you,

    Can you find the audio book by using the Search feature on the iPod?
    Do you have the right boxes checked to sync the audio book to the iPod?
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod
    Note you have to check the boxes in Books pane for the iPod in iTunes to sync books in general and another box to sync Audio Books.
