I was typing in a word for Mac document and I hit the apple key and the numeral 8 at the same time now all of my documents have these strange symbols please help

Simply type command 8 again. That toggles the "show paragraphs" function.

  • How do I get rid of Google as my face page for Mozilla? All attempts to date have been unsuccessful. Please help.

    I recently updated Mozilla. SInce then the GOOGLE search page is the new face page when I enter Mozilla. I would prefer use MY YAHOO page, but everytime I change the setting to what I want the GOOGLE search page then returns when return to Mozilla. What Can I do?

    You probably are familiar with how to change your "home" page by now, but just in case:
    * [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
    * [[How to set the home page]]
    After you change the setting, if you open a new window using Ctrl+n, does it show your Yahoo page as desired?
    ''If yes'' then I suspect some software is overriding your preference at startup, or changing it behind Firefox's back. This article describes some ways this can happen: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]]. Another common culprit is the "Surfing Protection" feature of the Advanced SystemCare software, and similar home page or browser protection features of other utility/security software.
    ''If no'' then one of your extensions may be overriding your preference. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.
    Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Does that help?

  • Word for mac won't show doc in print preview and prints blank page.

    I have a document from layoutready.com that I have been editing and it is a .doc file originally and won't show up. I've tried saving it as .docx and still nothing. Also, when I create a new document and put in a shape or a text box, it won't show up in print preview or print either. Excel is fine. I can insert a shape onto a worksheet and previews and prints fine. I have sent a document to a friend to test and when they open it in their word (on a pc) it previews and prints fine. I called stupid %*&#@ Microsoft and they want me to sign up for $99 Office 365 to get support. Ergh. Should I try to re-install Word? Oh, and I also updated to Yosemite last night.

    Then post your question on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you'r having problems with.  These forums are for troubleshooting Apple products

  • Users of Word for Mac:  Help on Two Issues!!

    I downloaded some fonts I wanted to use in my Word for Mac document. Download went fine and the fonts are happily nestled in the Fonts folder. However, when I open Word, they do not appear on the Font listing. Any thoughts as to how to get them over so I can use them?
    Also, I wanted to use the Fonts to create a logo that--ideally--would be a half circle of text over the design. Simple enough, I thought: just go into Toolbox and pull down the styles (like you can in Windows) and choose the style I want.
    No such luck (we are dealing with a Mac here so everything is special) but suddenly a "special styles" toolbox appeared with exactly what I wanted--the ability to format a font to a 180' half circle, mirror image text and some other stuff that seemed interesting!
    When I went back to the document to format the text the "special styles" toolbox disappeared, never to be found again. Sigh...
    Any ideas? Oh, yes, there is a 180' in "Word Art" but I can't get the downloaded fonts into there, so that isn't really a solution.

    Okay, here are the details: Word for Mac 2008 Ver. 12.2.8
    Yes, I did post to the MS Forums.
    Still no answer from either MS or MAC forums.
    Sorry, but this doesn't strike me at that tough a question, hence the *****. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who uses Word for Mac and I'm equally sure I'm not the first one to download a font that didn't load into Word for Mac. The answer is out there somewhere....

  • Melled vs. Word for Mac

    I have Pages which is great for many applications, but I do miss using word on my p.c.. So, I was going to get word for mac, but a friend of mind recommended Mellel. Anyone have any thoughts? I will be using the product for business correspondence and long form documents too.

    Sam - try to avoid double posting, among other things, it dilutes your answers. There are lots of things to like about Mellel, and Nisus, Mariner Write, and the list goes on. The great thing is, they all are shareware so download them and see how you like them.
    I weaned myself away from Word 2 years ago when Pages was first introduced and I actually haven't used it at all in the last year. At one time I was a slave to Office, especially macros, but with a little thought and planning I was able to reproduce everything. Today my only use of Office is Excel.

  • Help! Word for mac 2011 won't open files

    Hi,
    I wasn't able to find a suitable category to place this question under, but hope someone can help all the same.
    I have Word for Mac 2011 on my 2011 iMac. In the last couple of days, it has stopped opening files (by double-clicking on them, or by going to File > Open). Instead, I get an error message which reads:
    "Document name" uses a file type that is blocked from opening in this version
    (The message then continues with smaller print, telling me how this is for security reasons but that I should be able to use File > Open to access the file - which I can't).
    The only way I have found to open the files is by using File > Open and in the 'Enable' box choosing 'Recover Text from any file'. However, this is pretty unhelpful because I lose the file's logos and formatting.
    Note that this problem happens to all files regardless of which version of Word they were created on.
    Please help! I really need to access my Word docs...
    Thanks in advance.

    I am also suddenly having this problem.  It seemed to start after I upgraded to Lion.  I had Word 2003 until I upgraded to Word 2011 last year, so I don't have 2008 to go back to.  The documents it won't open are just blank.  They will open with Open Office.  This is just so annoying!  I thought it was a Lion incompatibility, but you are saying it is a Microsoft problem?

  • I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help!

    I updated to Yosemite, now my laptop keyboard does not work in MS Word for Mac. Help! Any suggestions for fixing this?

    Did you ever get a solution to your problem? Because I am having the same problem. I was actually in the middle of using Word when the keyboard stopped working. But it works in other apps, including in Excel.
    Thing is that my laptop just got back from Apple for repairs and they replaced everything but the display - including the hard drive.
    So not only do I have plenty of hard drive space, but it should be virus and error free otherwise.
    I have only installed a few programs and redownloaded some of my files from places like Dropbox, but otherwise is essentially a new system.
    Oh - and it came with Yosemite, so I did not upgrade to Yosemite and still Word doesn't work.
    I've always had trouble getting Word to play nice with my Mac but that was also with the old, full hard drive.
    This is a fresh install. And since I lost all my files, I only had like 1 old file I have downloaded from email and accessed and was in the process of
    creating a new file when it crashed. I got no error, the keyboard just stopped working (to type). I also cannot even get Word > Preferences to even open,
    so it is completely unresponsive.
    I did a Google search and under the Microsoft communities two suggestions to that person were that there may be multiple copies installed -
    I have only the one - and that one is in the wrong place - again, I only have the one and it installed to the Hard drive (visible in Launchpad / Apps).
    Another suggestion was that there was some problem with the updates. I ran updates and they installed fine. That helper suggested that the user
    may have had different updates that worked for the other Office apps (Excel, PPT etc.) but not Word and that was at least part, if not all of his problem,
    but all my Office apps show the same update version 12.3.6, so that cannot be the issue with me.
    I've not yet tried uninstalling and reinstalling, but as I got no errors on the original install or updates, I'm not sure if that would fix it.
    I've found that Mac just doesn't play nice with some programs at all.
    And even though I have a factory installed version of Yosemite on a new, fresh hard drive, even when I booted up, my iPhoto app (which is empty) crashed. I am not sure if my iPhone or iPad was charging at the time, but I don't think so. iPhoto that I still have not even used has crashed several more times since, most notably when plugging in my iPhone / iPad to charge, namely when I declined to upload photos (by default) to DropBox. That may not be related at all, but thus far seems the only other problem I have encountered until this Word problem.
    I'm on a MacBook Pro, Sept. 2009, running OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 factory installed from Apple repairs running Office: 2008 for Mac (Home and Student edition).
    Please advise if you found a resolution and what it was.
    Thanks

  • Flow text in Word for Mac 2011 works from page 1 to page 2, but not from page 2 to page 1. Does anyone know a fix for this, please?

    Does anyone know how to get text to flow from page 2 to page 1 in Word for Mac 2011, please?
    To try it, create a fair size text box on page 2 and fill it right up with text.
    Next, reduce the text box size so that the text box is over-full.
    Then Flow this overflow into a new text box on page 1.
    What appears also disappears, especially if you try to print.

    With some advice, I was able to solve my problem by opening Word and then Force Quit Word.  When I re-opened Word, it had returned to normal.
    Note: I had already tried the expedient of restarting my computer without solving my Word problem.  But Force Quit did the job.
