Screen resolution in Word 2008

I am thinking of buying Office 2008, and noticed that MS recommends a screen resolution of at least 1024x768 for Word. But I have my Macbook set at 1024 X 640 because at any greater resolution, the various task bars in my browser and app's become too small to work with conveniently. For instance, the urls in the browser address bar in Safari shrink when the screen is set to 1024 X 768 - so I find myself re-setting the resolution.
Anyway, does Word work and look OK with 1024 x 640?

I looked at it in that resolution and thought it looked awful. It's usable but yuck. Have you considered using the zoom feature built into the Universal Access system preference?

Tiger update 2008-004 screwed up iMac G5 screen resolution/desktop

I have an iMac G5. Installed the Tiger 2008-004 update (and Safari update). When the iMac boots up the screen resolution/desktop gets enlarged just as the spotlight icon appears. As I move the mouse around the screen the desktop moves with it. The desktop is about 5%-10% larger than the standard size. Tried display preferences with no effect. Zapped PRAM. Re-installed updates individually,nothing works.Help!

Hi,
You probably have 'Zoom' enabled in the Universal Access preferences. Have a play around in there to find the setting to turn it off (sorry for the vague directions but I'm on a Linux machine at the moment )

Is there a way to make the icon/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

Is there a way to make the icons/words larger on the screen without changing the screen resolution?

If you right-click in the top of title bar of any Finder window there is an option to un-check 'use small icon size', though toggling between the two makes little difference on my screen.
Another trick is you can zoom the whole screen by holding down the 'control' key and using a two-finger swipe up on the trackpad to enlarge, down to go back to normal.

Unable to Change Screen Resolution in Remote Session - Windows Server 2012 R2

Does anybody know of a way to allow Remote Desktop users to adjust their own screen resolution in a remote session under Windows Server 2012 R2? We are struggling with this and can't seem to find a solution.
When users login to their RDP session and try to adjust their screen resolution this message is displayed in Control Panel:
"The display settings can't be changed from a remote session."
We don't want to use the "make text and other items larger or smaller" scaling feature, as this produces undesirable results with some of our applications. We also don't want to have to support multiple types of RDP clients or RDP shortcut
files.
We have looked at other posts but can't find an answer that applies to Windows Server 2012 R2. The closest thing we could find is KB2726399, but it only applies to Server 2008.
Does anybody have a solution for Server 2012?
Thanks

Hi,
Currently you cannot change the resolution from within the session. This is normal and expected behavior.
Unfortunately this means you need to set the desired resolution before connecting by using custom .rdp files, manually within the Remote Desktop Client, custom web launch page, custom windows launch program, etc.

Screen Resolutions in OSX 10.8

Maybe someone can help, but if not - Apple, please sort this out, I've read complaints all over the net going back years...
Screen Resolutions. This isn't difficult Apple. The video card in my 2008 Mac Pro (a geforce somethignorother) can display all manner of resolutions - pretty much anything under 25**x1*** (whatever that res is) is supported. I know this because nvidia state as much on their website, and also because every single video card since the beginning of time (which, for me and computers, was circa 1996) can do it.
So why, when I connect a 24" Acer LCD screen (with a native resolution of 1920x1200) via VGA (vga because it's what I've got running under the floor) do the video resolution options in OSX only include 4:3 and 16:9 formats? I don't want 1920x1080. It's pathetic. My 2006 mac pro running 10.5 has no such problem. This 2008 Mac pro had no such problem while running 10.6 a few years ago.
Here's another example. After giving up with the 24" Acer (being advised to BUY a bit of software to access a resolution is ridiculous), I plugged in my 32" Sony LCD screen, again via VGA. This was interesting. Sony on their website stated that 1360x768 was the highest resolution accessable via VGA, despite the TV supporting 1920x1080 via digital inputs. As soon as OSX detects the TV then surely, 1360x768 is the highest offered resolution. But, if I boot the computer without the TV being on, then switch the TV on, I can set it to 1920x1080, and all is well. Work that one out Sony. A combination of Sony trying to limit their cheap tvs, and Apple interfering.
Anyway, my basic argument and complaint is this: I hate little more than computers that think they're smarter than the user. Even if we disgard the Sony example (which is doubtless a line of code written in the TV, rather than a technical limitation (as I own the 37" version of the TV, and it works at 1080p via VGA no probs - doubt they've engineered two different VGA circuits...)) - there is no excuse for OSX wrongly detecting a screen and displaying incorrect resolutions. Have an idiot mode by all means, but let me adjust the resolution beyond that. Give me access to all resolutions at all times.

Apple doesn't routinely monitor these discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Photoshop CS5 Screen Resolution

<START OF RANT>
Having recently decided to upgrade all my design software, I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was (and still am) to find that after spending £231.12 GBP on buying Photoshop CS5 (upgrade from CS2) I'm unable to "Save As" and access some other features on my Acer Ferrari One due to the minimum screen resolution requirement. And before you start preaching that I should have checked, blah, blah, blah, and that it's my own fault then I only have 2 words for you: F*** O**!!! Why am I reacting like this? Simples, both Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 (for a mere £219.95 GBP) work fine on the very same netbook without any problems!!!
Having spent hours upon hours browsing the tinternet (a.k.a. world wide web) and finding countless of people in the same boat as me making futile attempts to get Photoshop CS5 to work on a smaller screen resolution (the most common being 1024x600), it seems that short of changing the screen it will not work properly.
Allow me therefore to put the following questions to the developers/coders of Photoshop CS5:
1. Why do Photoshop CS2 and Dreamweaver CS5 work on the same netbook without fail yet Photoshop CS5 won't (unable to "Save As", can't see full screen of the "Save for Web" screen, etc.)?! WHY??? And please don't start with the lame excuse that they are different programs for different purposes because at the end of the day it's the same company. You don't buy a Mercedes C-Class and a Mercedes S-Class to find that the steering works on 1 but not the other, do you?!
2. Are your heads so far up your place where the sun don't shine that you have forgotten about the fact that people FIRST pick a PC/Mac/Laptop/Notebook/Netbook and ONLY THEN PICK SOFTWARE?
3. Do you want people to keep buying your software?
If the answer to question 3 (above) is YES, then PULL YOUR FINGERS OUT, get your act together and do something about these issues, pronto. Else, rest assured you will lose custom to the competition (e.g Corel) - even loyalists like myself (who started & stuck with Photoshop since 1997 - that's 14 YEARS OF LOYALTY should one be incapable of doing the math). In this day & age any company would be wise not to make mistakes which could cost it market share - Adobe is making that mistake with Photoshop right now!!!
</END OF RANT!!!>

Why are trying to get Photoshop work on a display that is smaller then the programs was designed for. Adobe publishes screen requirements. Next you'll want it to run on a iPod Nano so you can have it on hand all the time.
<Just keep on RANTING if it make you feel GOOD>
CS2 Works the Problem is all YOU
So same to you and you foul mouth.
Why blame Adobe Why not your net book maker fot not allowing you to set a resolution more then the display has. I have worked on machines the could the just scroll the display over the larger image that way you can see the whole image. CS5 would work on a machine like that. Of course I want it always at hand!!! Do you even live in this world?! Have you noticed for example that phones have better cameras than the best camera available en masse 5 years ago let alone longer e.g. 10 years ago? Note how small it is!!!
Of course I want to edit my pictures using the program of my choice and 14 years ago I did make that choice choosing PS, hence the decision to purchase the Acer Ferrari One - CS2 works like a charm.
As to the point that I'm problematic, please read my post carefully before making statements that make you come across as foolish.

1. Serious ps users make sure their hardware meets their program's system requirements.
2. If you decide to buy you bigger Mercedes and it won't fit into your garage anymore, I'd say that's your own fault.
3. ALL software evolves, if you insist on using your old hardware, stick with the programs that were built to run on your old gear.
1. OLD Hardware?! Please do your homework before replying. The Acer Ferrari One was released beginning of last year and is a top of the range netbook - more powerful than any netbook out there and any laptop that is over 2 years old. FACT! Even some of the new laptops benchmarked could not out-do this little beast. FACT!
2. Unless one is buying a Mercedes Van or Truck it will fit in the garage (even the ML320 fits) - CS2 fits and so do other Adobe CS3 & CS4 products. So why not the PS CS5 - its no a Van or Truck. In fact it's more comparable to an S-Class.
3. Hardware also evolves - it's getting smaller and more powerful. I could run PS on the water-cooled, Phenom X4 & NVidia GeForce 9800 GX2 powered stationary PC connected to a 32" LCD by HDMI, running Linux Mint 10 x64/Windows 7 x64 (dual boot) with MacOS X running virtually by use of VMWare on both. Instead I choose to be mobile editing my pics as soon as I have taken them (patience is not always a virtue)! As humans we also need to evolve and judging by most of the replies so far it's not looking good for human evolution (albeit some replies do make valid & intelligent arguments and are as such well received).

It would of course be better to maintain decorum, though, even while ranting. But does a rant really demand a sharp response? Rise above it and just don't say anything if you really have nothing to add.
To Julian: You should return the software for a refund ASAP before you're stuck with it for good.
-Noel
You are right: I do mean to offend Adobe and hope they are offended!!! However, do accept my apologies for losing composure (and my manners along with it). Unfortunately, in this day and age it seems to be the only way to reach the audience of those who can assist with problem resolution of this kind. That is of course unless the very same decide to provide the PS CS5 source code which would enable me to address the issue at hand without the need to contact Adobe or rant.

Not speaking for Adobe, I would expect that they want intelligent people to keep buying their software. They also make Photoshop Elements for someone like you. Photoshop is a professional image editing application used by professionals. Professionals do not pick up a cheap low-power netbook to do their image editing. Casting the concept of 'professional' aside, Adobe expects buyers to be literate to notice the system requirements prior to paying large sums.
If all that you are doing is web design, you should be using GIMP, which is free, requires much less resources, and is better suited for preparing web images (PNG8 with alpha anyone?).
RE: rants... GIGO
In fact, it would be better for you not to speak at all considering your assumptious and pompous nature. Adobe will pay attention to this post as long as it attracts traffic (you can find a simple explanation of the term 'traffic' in this context using this link). As to your ideology of the professional image editor, it is of little interest here and beside the point. Thus, please refrain from participating any further in this discussion while not in a capacity to speak on behalf of Adobe or offer anything other than remarkable insights into what one should or should not use for image editing.
If I have not replied to anyone, please accept my apologies - I will find the time to do so another day but I wouldn't want miss Love Never Dies at the Adelphi now would I.
Good night and good luck

WinXP-SP2 refuses to allow screen resolution above 640x480

I've had WinXP on a Bootcamp partition for more than a year, working just fine and used occasionally. Yesterday I booted it up & the screen resolution had changed to 640x480. I tried changing it back to the native resolution of my Samsung monitor (1900x1200) using both the Win control Panel "Display" and also the nVidia control panel. XP stubbornly refuses to switch to the higher resolution, even after rebooting.
Windows issues like this, appearing for no reason I can find, are why I bought my MP in 2008. Does anyone have any advice (other than giving up on XP)?

Sorry I haven't reported back in a while. I keep thinking of things to try but still haven't solved this issue. These are the things I've done:
Booted to XP Pro, then:
1. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried changing resolution in Display "Settings" menu. No luck. As soon as I clicked on "Apply" the setting changes back to 640x480 resolution. Re-booted into XP Pro with no change.
2. Went to Hardware Monitor & tried the regular "Install Display Driver" routine with Windows searching for the driver. No luck. Still didn't change resolution after reboot & attempted resolution change in "Settings".
3. Tried changing resolution with the nVidia control panel. I clicked on the correct resolution in the list, but as soon as the window closed & I re-opened it, the resolution had changed back to 640x480.
3. Inserted original disk with driver for for my Samsung monitor & tried "load driver from disk". No luck. Same result - resolution would not change after reboot.
4. Went to the nVidia website & found an update for the driver on my 8800GT. Downloaded & attempted to install. Windows reported something to the effect of "That driver is already present".
5. Tried to make changes by booting in VMWare Fusion. The resolution reported there was higher than 640x480, (don't remember what it was though), but NOT the native resolution of my Samsung (1920x1200). Unable to use "Settings" to make a change.
I wan to avoid an erase & reinstall (read: "Hassle with both Windows & VMWare"), but I'm running out of alternatives. One thing left to try - Two years ago I got a program called Winclone & made a couple of clones of the windows partition, several months apart. I've never tried actually installing them (stupid!), but this might be the time. Whatever I lose in that process shouldn't be devastating, just annoying. Is there anyone here in the Forums who has used Winclone successfully?
Or is it just time to bite the bullet & let Windows go? I only use XP for generating fractal images & occasionally doing some 2D drafting with a very old version of AutoCad (v14) which I dearly love. Very occasionally I use it to access websites that won't work with Safari & Firefox. A small voice in me says that I should try "7" on my Mac because all the reviews seem to be quite positive, but I'm not convinced that the expense & hassle would be worth it.
Sorry this is so long. I wanted to include all the steps I tried. Thanks in advance to anyone with ideas or comments.

Word 2008 crashes when I have several documents open

I'm running word 2008, and whenever I have multiple documents open (some large) word seems to crash randomly after a while. I can open a bunch of documents, work with them, then leave the computer. When I come back and click on a document window, it'll crash usually. I checked system logs and it shows this:

One solution to your present issue is to consider NeoOffice or OpenOffice, either of which are nearly 100% MS compatible and do not suffer from these Word/Office-related issues that many MS Office/Mac users seem to have.
Neo and Open Office are fully Leopard compatible and I have never had any issues with them. I use them on PCs and Macs. They are free downloads.

Microsoft Word 2008 immediately crashes after opening

Hoping to work on a paper for school after updating to OS X Mavericks, but as the title of this post indicates, Word 2008 crashes immediately after opening.
I'm working off of a 2010 Macbook Pro, though not sure if that makes a difference.
Happy to provide more information upon request.

Try going to Font Book and validating your fonts. If that doesn't fix the problem are you getting any crash reports you can post?
If you aren't getting any crash logs - The next time the problem happens, note the date and time the problem occurred, then go to Applications/Utilities/Console and copy the log starting at the time of the crash. Paste the log in a reply. Please do not use a screen shot as they can be hard to read. If there are repeated runs of the same messages, please post only one run. Be selective about what you post and don’t post huge amounts. Make sure there is no personal data visible. Information learned from Linc Davis.
You might try looking/posting here.

Microsoft Word 2008 top menu bar changed to chinese - ISSUE

After opening a MSfile the Leopard top menu when using Microsoft Word 2008 has been changed to Chinesse. This issue only happen with this product and not with the rest of the Microsoft tools that I have installed in my MacBook (example: Powerpoint). I'm including a print screen (as you can see only the iOS menu is changed to chinesse and not the software menu). I extremely need to change it back to English!
Thanks for any information and advice that you could provide

Never heard of something like that. AFAIK, Office 2008 distributions do not contain localisation resources, so there would be no way for (US) Word to display menus in Chinese. Maybe you have a multi-lingual version? Check what's available in the Microsoft Language Register, although I was under the impression that it did not affect menu display. And… are you sure it's Word 2008 and not 2011?
Btw, an unrelated issue. Did you recently open a Word doc having to do with Tibet?

If I run "xorgconfig" and after that "nvidia-xconfig", my screen resolution is 1024x860, but after changed very mode to my native resolution ("1440x900"), is changes to "800x600".

Widescreen resolutions are not possible with newest vista and linux drivers if the tft is connected with dvi.
Use an older driver or the vga-port instead.
There are maybe some hacks, but I tried many times in vista and linux. And it's always the same, only 1280x1024.
did some googling:

Thanks for the reply, but I don't believe that's the problem since that topic is from 2006 and I didn't had any problems last time I instaled arch (3 months ago).

[Solved] Set Screen Resolution in Openbox

Is there a utility to set the screen resolution in Openbox?
Last edited by Wintervenom (2008-09-26 07:43:03)

You can make an Openbox submenu with various xrandr settings.
Like so:
<menu id="res-menu" label="Resolution">
<separator label="Resolution"/>
<item label="1280x1024">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 1280x1024
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item label="1024x768">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 1024x768
</execute>
</action>
</item>
<item label="800x600">
<action name="Execute">
<execute>
xrandr -s 800x600
</execute>
</action>
</item>
Of course, you need to have those modes defined in xorg.conf.

Screen Resolution & Beep Sound

Mine is T400 bought in NUS, Vista OS. Very happy experience using this fatastic laptop, only a few minor questions
First question is How I can set my screen resolution high than 1280*800, which is right now the highest I can find on the display settings.
Second (a general question maybe): every time I plug in and out the AC cable, my T400 makes a loud beep, and also the case when hibernating or waking from hibernation, which is very annoying ....... It is best if the beep can be cancelled.
Thanks for helping me.
Message Edited by dcbayer04 on 08-27-2008 11:43 PM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and welcome to this forum
First, it´s not possible to get more resolution, when your native is1280*800 or you have to use an extern monitor.
Second, go to bios there are switches to turn beeps of, when powerstatus is changed.
Also look into the pogram engergie manager, there are also possibilities to switch beeps on and off.

Lost program icons Microsoft word 2008 and Microsoft excel 2008

Hi I accidently turned Microsoft excel 2008 and microsoft word 2008 into wads of trash that disappeared when I accidnetly clicked the icons and moved them from the dock into the internet box. I talked to one person already but can't seem to get back to them and he suggested that I use MIcrosoft Office 2008 but hte problem is is that I don't have it anymore because I deleted the program from my computer a few days ago (yesterday or the day before) I had originally bought hte program from Best Buy and downloaded it from a disc but I can't find the disc anymore. Do you know what I can do to recover the programs I checked the applications, office (of course, and word and excel 2008 aren't there and they aren't in the trash I checked there too. I thought that it might be on my back-up time machine? And I also couldn't go to undo to change what happened. Thank you.

Things just don't disappear. If you didn't put them in the trash, they must be there somewhere. Click the magnifying glass at the top right side of your screen and search for Microsoft Office and see if you can locate the folder. Also, I'm wondering if you actually installed office or if you were just running it from the downloaded .dmg file? When doing the search, keep an eye open for a Microsoft Office 2008 DMG file.
