How Do I Change the Number of Folders Shown in Recent Places?

On my new iMac when I go to save a document in an application, like Acrobat, AOL, or Word, OS 10.5 will show me Recent Places, mostly the folders from which I've recently opened or in which I've recently saved other files. On my old G4 under 10.4.11 it used to show me the last 10 folders, but on 10.5.7 is shows only the last 5. Is there some control somewhere I can access the number of folders that the system shows me in Recent Places when I go to save? Thanks!

AdmrlLocke,
Glad to hear that you found OnyX to be useful for that task.
I see that OnyX has many features. Do you use any of the others?
It is IMHO an easy to understand GUI of Terminal. Use it with caution. Make sure that you fully understand the implications of any actions.
I only use OnyX for helping others troubleshoot, and occasionally for setting Parameters.
I would advise against using OnyX routinely for Maintenance or Cleaning. My reasons for this advice are included in:
1. Side effects of System cache cleaning
2. Maintaining Mac OS X
3. Running Mac OS X Maintenance Scripts
4. Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption

  • How do you change the Number of Plots Shown property of a Waveform Chart at runtime?

    Is there any possible way to change the Number of Plots Shown property
    of a Waveform Chart at runtime?  Thy Dynamic Stackplots example is
    way to limited.....

    There's a couple of ways to do this -
    1. Manage the data going into the chart to only be what you want displayed
    2. Use property nodes.  Specifically, the Plot.Visible node. (LV 7 example attached).

  • How do I change the number formatting within a Cell Table in Microsoft Word?

    Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out on an issue I've been having... I work for an accounting firm and we do a lot of financial statements. 
    I was wondering if we would be able to treat a cell table in Microsoft Word 2007 like I would a cell table in Microsoft Excel. Meaning, I would like to change the formatting of the numbers in the table to the "Accounting" (number) format so it
    aligns by the decimal point and use the $ signs and () for negative numbers.  We do use the link tables feature, however, most of our balancing pages just can't be done in Excel because of the way the text is written. It would be much harder to format
    the text if it were to be typed in Excel. We have also tried  creating an Excel sheet within Microsoft Word but it is the same as linking the tables... Again, a text formatting issue.  The only option is to use tables within Word but how do we change
    the number formatting to a "accounting" (number) format where the numbers would align with the decimal point and use () for the negative numbers. Is there ANY option for us to do this other than manually entering this information in using tabs?  
    If there are no options other than entering it in manually, please consider this as an option for your next software update. I believe that a LOT of people out there will be interested in this feature... My manager and I just attended a webinar on Microsoft
    Advanced Word Tips Tricks and Techniques and 75% of the attending people had this question but no answer.
    Thank you very much for your help!!!!!

    Word does not really have number formatting for table cells. You can align cell contents on the decimal point, though, by setting a so-called decimal tab stop.
    Option 1:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Display the ruler.
    - Click the Tab box on the left hand side of the ruler until the box contains an inverted T with a dot.
    - Click in the ruler where you want the decimal tab.
    Option 2:
    - Select the cells for which you want to do this.
    - Click the arrow in the lower right corner of the Paragraph group on the Home tab of the ribbon.
    - Click the Tabs... button in the lower left corner of the dialog.
    - Specify a tab position in the box, e.g. 1.5".
    - Select the 'Decimal' radio button under 'Alignment'.
    - Click Set.
    - Click OK.
    You will have to type the numbers as they should appear, including the $ for currency and the ( ) for negative numbers.

  • How do i change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from three columns to one.

    How do I change the number of columns within a text box?  I need to go from 3 columns to 1.  The insert column is highlighted and column break does not work for this.

    Pages '09 does not seem to allow layout breaks in Textboxes.
    Pages 5.2 has the same limitation.
    Use multiple linked Textboxes in Pages '09 to get the layout you want or create your layout in a Word Processing template in the document layer.

    Call your provider and ask them to do it.
    This is not controlled from the iphone.

  • How do I change the number of rings on messages?

    How do I change the number of rings on messages. At the moment it rings twice and I miss it. Could do with being quite a few rings more.

    This is determined by your carrier. It isn't a number of rings - it is based on time beginning when the call is received at your carrier's servers.
    I believe with AT&T in the U.S. the maximum is 30 seconds. This does not equate to a full 30 seconds of ringing with the phone since there is some delay involved between the carrier receiving the call and it reaching the phone.

    Facetime is using my husband's cell phone number instead of mine. How can I change the number to mine in face time?

    You need to set up the accounts in System Preferences/Accounts, then activate Fast User Switching.
    That way you can quickly log in to your own account - then back to his.
    You should obviously have different passwords.

  • How do you change the number of rings before FIOS goes to voice mail?

    Currently my FIOS residential service picks up voicemail after 4 rings, thereby negating my answering machine on my phone. It is then hit or miss for the system telling me if we have a voice mail. I would prefer to use my phone answering machine
    How can I change the number of rings on FIOS to 6-8 more rings, in order for my phone answering machine to pick up?
    Thanks

    Call your voicemail access phone number and go to settings. There is an option for that.

    The only way to change the number is to change the SIM card. If you recently had your number ported, then you need to turn iMessage off, wait a few minutes and then turn it back on again. After it reactivates, then check the Send and Receive area.

    HI,
    As far as I can tell you cannot delete the ID when Only one is listed.
    This would suggest that you have to add the second (Correct) one and then delete the first (wrong) one.
    I can't say I have tried this yet.
