Moving from PPT to FW

I've decided to move from using PowerPoint to build my vector
graphics to FW. I fact, I've started experimenting with setting up
presentations to be done in html (DW) instead of PPT to take
advantage of html's capabilities. I have used FW for 6 months or so
to do simple gifs for my web sites, mostly menu graphics, but what
I have been doing with PPT includes more than I've worked with so
far.
I'm certain this thread is going to move through a number of
basic topics on working with FW, but I'll start with connectors and
lines, and with text boxes.
First text boxes: 1) coloring the background and 2)
stretching without distorting.
1) In ppt you can color a text box background. Is the only
way to produce a similar effect in FW to put a background layer
behind the text box?
2) I sometimes want to resize a text box but if I put the
exact dimension in the width or height area in the properties it
will distort the text. The only way I've found to increase the size
of the text box is to grab and drag the box handles which often
isn't very exact. Can text box sizes be explicitly specified after
text is entered without distorting text?
Connectors: In ppt connectors can be "connected" to objects
like rectangles and circles. I see that FW has a connector
autoshape but the I found the help text to be a little lacking on
how to manipulate them. Can the connectors in FW be used in a
similar fashion to ppt where they are connected to an object and
then will move when the object moves?
Lines: At this link is a relatively simple drawing. If you
look closely you will see that the lines are a bit jagged. If I
were to draw a line in ppt and then display it full screen it would
look smooth. Now, this may have to do with the fact that the FW
file was saved as a jpg before being moved to the site so my
learning may need to be done in converting png files to other
formats.

And as long as the link is here I have a similar issue with
the edges of the lettering in the words. The edges are not smooth.
Is that because the font doesn't scale well (the font size in the
image on the site is 36pt or is there something else I'm doing or
not doing that is producing the results.
I know this is pretty basic. Trust that I have done quite a
bit of homework trying to figure all this out, but nothing I've
found so far is a straight forward tutorial on vector graphic
quality from FW to the web.
Thanks

Form button does not work when a program is moved from Windows 8.2 to Windows 7

Hi,
I have a few Excel programs which use the ODBC to get data from Access and which have macros which writes data to an external program, MYOB.
When the macros tries to write the data to MYOB it fails if I am not running the program in administrator mode.   It seems that Windows 8.2 has a different level of security than Windows 7 and must be run in administrator mode for the ODBC to work.
I have had issues after running the program in administrator mode (testing) if I simply do a save (in administrator mode) and then send it to the customer.   The issue is that it just will not work on the customer's site.   I have gotten
around this in the past by saving any changes, going back out of excel, loading the program again (not in administrator mode) and saving it - before sending it to the customer.   This worked until now.
For some unknown reason, the last time I sent a program to the customer and carried out the above process, the program stopped working. Originally I thought that the macro just wouldn't work on windows 7, but eventually found that it is the form button
that will no longer work when the program is moved from 8.2 to 7.
Does anyone know why there is an incompatibility between 8.2 and Windows 7 and what I should be doing to ensure that my programs work in my customers environment(windows7)?
In the meanwhile, I have changed the form button to an activex button and the program works fine in both environments.
Thanking you in advance,

there is some OP report after Windows update Dec 2014 macro stop responding ( I cant confirm if this is also related to your issue) its because security update for Office maybe conflict with the active-x that you are installed
try to
Close Excel
Start Windows Explorer.
Select your system drive (usually C:)
Use the Search box to search for *.exd
Delete all the files it finds.
Start Excel again
Open that file and save it, and try open at Windows 7
to get more detail about this issue, I suggest also contact Office forum
this case also will be solve installing kb3025036
good luck

HT4101 Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud.

Once pictures are moved from your camera to your iPad (using the camera connection kit), how do you get the photos off of the iPad? They do not show up in my photo stream or my iCloud. I am able to see any photo I took on the iPad using the iPad camera (in iTunes, photo stream, or when I open windows explorer and browse the iPad director), however I cannot see any photos transfered from my camera to the iPad. The camera connection kit must have put my photos in a directory I cannot get to and cannot sync.

The links below have instructions for deleting photos.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5, the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed though.

I have the iPhone 5 and have with 6.0.1 software version. Although I had them when I moved from iPhone 4 to the 5 (could play them), the latest update has most of my songs on the phone listed in grey (over 95% of them) and I can't play them. They are still listed in the iTunes library. When I look in the Summary for the iPhone, it shows Audio as only .16 GB - I have over 5 GB of songs, so what gives?
P.S. When I look at my Playlists most of the songs are greyed out. However, at the bottom of the list there is a cloud icon with a downward facing arrow. When I click on it each song starts to "load" and after a few minutes I have the songs back on in the list. I have to do this to all my playlists (I had over 100) in order to get access to all my songs. Then I did a sync and it happened again!
I use iCloud for documents and some other things (calendar, contact, etc.) but am not aware that I have anything music-wise in the cloud. Any thougnts?

You may have to try deleting all the music from your phone (by going to Settings>General>Usage>Music, swipping All Music and tapping Delete), then sync it all back on with iTunes in order to fix this.

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write. Still, documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder on the server. Techies can't figure it out here. What am I not doing?

Mac desktop. 10.6.8. Text edit. Not locked. Read and write, not read only. Documents are locking when they are moved from desktop to another folder or saved directly into that folder on the server. Not happening with anyone else but me and the boss's computer so has to be in the properties for my text edit software. Techies can't figure it out after trying for two weeks. Boss can do a cut and paste and put into a new document, but that's starting to become a problem.

We just moved from the United States to Costa Rica. The first two days my mac worked great. Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it

Then all of a sudden I was trying to use a game application and the screen went black and there is a white cursor which I can move around, but I can't escape it. When I restart it seems okay and I see my main screen, but only for a second and then it goes black again.

Report for material moved from blocked stock to unrestricted stock

Hi,
Is there a standard report in WM showing list and qty of materials moved from blocked stock to unrestricted stock.
Regards,
Pratap

It would have been easy if there was a specific WM movement type for such transfer but due to the reason that the WM 309 is connected to various IM movement types, there is no direct report to get this information.
Conversely, you may use MB51 with the combination of the WM managed storage location and movement type for your purpose. If there are multiple storage locations assinged to the same warehouse then you may put a range in the selection criteria.

I'm moving from windows notebook to MacBook Pro. When teaching I use a USB quality pointer device and want to know it the MacBook works with it

Greetings,
After using only Windows computers at work and home our company leadership now allows us to purchase Mac Pro Books if we desire. I am VERY excited!!!
Both of our sons work as engineers in Silicon Valley and will not purchase anything but Macs for years. Both son's schedules hinder me to get the answers quickly from them so I am seeking advice from you.
I love the idea of finally getting a Mac but have some questions and need to find a source to answer my questions before I send in the request for the new computer. If any of you could respond to these "beginner" Mac questions it would be wonderful.
1. I teach a large variety of classes using Powerpoint style presentations. I own a very nice wireless USB remote that I use to move between slides. Will the ProBook allow me the ability to use my remote? If so is there anything I need to know to make it work?
2. What are the tradeoffs of the 13 inch ProBook versus the 15 inch model?
3. What external devices/equipment should I plan to have available to be effective in an office environment?
4. In moving from Windows to Mac what is the best was to bridge the learning curve so I can become effective as quickly and effectively as possible?
I am very excited to make this change and your advice would be so appreciated.
Blessings,
David

David,
Have you checked the Web site of the manufacturer of your wireless USB remote, to see if their product supports MacBook Pros?
In general, the 13-inch MacBook Pro has less powerful hardware than the 15-inch model. A detailed comparison can be found in the right-hand column of the table here.
Which external devices/equipment do you currently have to be effective in an office environment with your Windows computer? The list is likely to be similar with a computer that runs OS X.
Which applications do you currently depend upon under Windows? That might be the best guide to providing advice on how to best adapt to OS X.

We have just moved from MobileMe, where we had a 'Family account' (and we each have our own @me.com email addresses) to iCloud. We share the Cal and Contacts on our iMac. How do we sync to multiple devices - we each have an iPad and an iPhone, but with different accounts set up for mail. Mine syncs OK to Cal and Contacts, but hers doesn't. There must be a way! Please help.

According the this: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/transition.html, "After moving to iCloud, family member accounts are no longer linked to the master account." You can share an iCloud calendar (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2690), but I don't think you will be able to share iCloud contacts unless you are signed into the same iCloud account on both phones.

I have moved from the US to Norway, and want to change my apple ID to the Norwegian appstore. However, I am not allowed ot change from the US store before I use up my balance, which is 0.17 dollar. The problem is that nothing costs 0.17 dollar and I do no longer have an american visa card, only Norwegian. Is there any way I can erase the credit on my account so I can change the appstore country? Or osmething I can use this credit on? Thank you very much

Try contacting the store support staff at: http://www.apple.com/emea/support/itunes/contact.html they are usually pretty good at sorting out these issues.

I have moved from Aus to UK how do I change all my iTunes details WITHOUT losing everything I have purchased on my Aus account $4,000 worth....... and without losing iTunes match

Hi,
I have moved from Australia to UK and I would like to swap my details to the UK, country of residence, billing address etc. I have spent over $4,000 on iTunes including extra iCloud storage and iTunes match. I want to be able to keep app's, music, movies and my Cloud/Match exactly the same. How do I do this?
Everytime I go to do it a message says that all of my purchases will be lost?
I need help but in real somple step by step easy as I am not hugely PC literate and still working out the whole Apple iTunes product behind the scenes so please help me in the simplistic way possible.
Thanks you in advance
Jo

Because of different local copyright laws and licensing you cannot keep everything exactly the same except for iCloud, which is not affected. You will have to create a new Apple ID for use on the UK iTunes Store with a form of payment drawn on a local bank and an address in the UK. As long as you have downloaded all your purchases and the computer is still authorized to play all protected video content that won't change, however Apps may give you trouble when updating because once associated with an Apple ID you can only switch between stores every 90 days.
As for iTunes Match you must contact Australian iTunes Store support to cancel the subscription and you will have to resubscribe on the UK store.

ITunes Match account when moving from France to USA.

Hi guys,
I'm moving from France to California for work in a few month. I have a french iTunes account / iTunes Match account.
I was wondering how to transfert them as a US account (for iTunes account I'm pretty sure it's easy, but I don't really know for iTunes Match Account).
Thanks for you help and Hayppy New year

You cannot transfer iTunes Store accounts across stores. If you will wish to use the US store you will have to switch over completely and start using that store. iTunes Match will have to be canceled and re-subscribed if you switch stores. See this User Tip for more information: How to Change Country with iTunes Match

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through internet connection. When I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear. Setting are for remove from server when moved from Inbox. Any idea what I can do to actually delete them?

I have an iPad 2 and receive e-mail through regular internet connection. Lately, when I delete e-mails, and clear my Trash folder, they re-appear, downloaded anew from the server and marked as unread. My e-mail Advanced Settings are selected for "Remove from server when moved from Inbox." Even when I access the e-mail accountfrom my desktop and delete the e-mails, the re-appear on my iPad. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and what I can do to actually delete them?

Sounds like you are looking in the wrong Administrative Group container which is why you are seeing your Exchange 2010 servers in there.
When you install Exchange 2003 only you will see a container named by default as "CN=First Administrative Group" container. But this could be named anything if you changed the Organization Name on the installation when you installed the first
Exchange 2003 server into the domain/forest.
You will notice that when you install Exchange 2010 part of the AD setup is to create a new configuration container and is named by default "CN=First Administrative Group (FYDIBOHF23SPDLT)".
So it sounds like you are not looking in the right location within ADSIEdit.
You may find the following article also helpful for this issue which is the same resolution:
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sbs/archive/2012/05/17/empty-cn-servers-container-causing-issues-with-public-folders-on-small-business-server-2011.aspx
I recommend though that you ensure your Exchange 2003 servers are fully uninstalled or no longer present in your environment before you go deleting the Servers container though.. The following Microsoft article will help with this:

Can the SidHistory attribute be moved from one User account to a different User account in the same Forest/Domain?

Hello,
Can the SidHistory attribute be moved from one User account to a different User account in the same Forest/Domain manually with Active Directory Users and Computers or with something like Powershell? it would seem to me this is a safe operation.
Thanks for your help! SdeDot

Hi,
In addition, please also take a look at the below thread:
