  • The options to copy/paste/add comment are not appearing when I select a cell, any idea what I have done?

    I was working on a spreadsheet, adding comments (yellow comment area), then I decided to see what these arrows do (< > ) I can see they are used for skipping through the comments. But now when I try to add another comment, the option doesn't appear, as well as when I select a cell, the options to delete, copy, cut, paste, etc. do not appear either...
    Does anyone know what I've done and how to fix it?!

    You may have a malware infection.
    Do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />
    You need to use all programs because each detects different malware.<br />
    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of the database.

  • How do I open a TIF image email attachment using windows photo gallery as the default instead of microsoft office picture manager?

    I have an internet fax program that sends faxes directly to my email as a TIF image attachment. When I download the attachment it lists Microsoft office picture manager as the default program to view the image. I would like to change the default program to view the image to Microsoft photo gallery. How do I change the default program to open an image attachment in firefox? Thank you

    OK I have it figured out! I was using google mail. For what ever reason the imac/pc safari using google would not display the PDF in the email even though the ipad/iphone did. I tried a different mail system through work (not google mail) and it EVERYTHING works GREAT!!!!! Wow, a lot of wasted time over something that was actually working.

  • Making iWork the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents

    Is there a way to make Pages, Numbers and Keynote the default apps for opening Microsoft Office documents, such that if I double-click a Word document it launches Pages and opens, etc.? I know I can do it by double-clicking the Office document and dragging it to the appropriate iWork app in the dock, but it would be nice to have it happen by default. That way I can put Office in my rearview mirror!

    Fantastic - worked exactly as advertized. Thank you both!! Office is now a distant memory (except when I have to save in MS formats to send files to the unfortunate masses).
    Best regards,

  • How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it.

    How can i open microsoft office word documents on my ipad 4 and edit it. How to transfer my scaned documents on it

    There are a number of apps that are compatible with Office documents. Apple makes iOS versions of their own iWork apps (Pages, Keynote, Numbers) that are available free if you purchase a new iOS device and that can be purchased separately for older devices. There are also 3rd party combined suites that cost less than the separate Apple apps. Ones often recommended include Documents 2 Go,  Quickoffice and Office2 HD.
    If you can accept needing a network connection whenever you want to use the apps and have an Office 365 subscription, Microsoft has just released their Office Mobile app, though it has significant limitations. Or a server-based solution such as CloudOn might be an option for you.

  • Unable to open microsoft office

    I am unable to open Microsoft office at all. I restored my system yesterday and it worked. shut down and logged on today the same issue. I show that an update was done last night so I am checking here first b/f I call microsoft.

    How is this related to Firefox, or any Mozilla product?
    It sounds like what you need to do is repair your Microsoft Office installation, then check Windows Update for any updates again.

  • G560: How to activate the trial version of Microsoft Office?? Phone Support a Disaster

    I bought my wife a Lenovo G3560 for Christmas.  In attempting to set up the computer, I was instructed to enter the product key from an enclosed card to activate the trial version of Microsoft Office.
    There was no card.
    On the first attempt to get phone help from Lenovo, I couldn't seem to get the person on the phone to understand I was trying to activate a trial version of Office. 
    On the second attempt, my son (who is a bit more computer-savvy than I), phoned, and was told there is no trial version, we have to purchase a key for the full version from Microsoft.
    On the third attempt, I requested a supervisor.  While I was on hold, I finally figured out that the information on the computer was wrong.  No card is needed -- the trial version opens after hitting Start, then "all programs" and then scrolling down to "Microsoft Office Starter."  Why this information was not provided is unclear.  Why clearly incorrect information was provided is utterly mysterious.
    By the way, the Lenovo spell checker does not recognize the word "Lenovo."
    This is my first day with a Lenovo product.  It does not auger well.
    Moderator edit: subject added to subject line for clarity

    Just as a suggestion - when your Office trial is up - check out www.openoffice.org 
    They have a free Office Suite that is reallly very decent.  Best of all it is FREE! 

  • Problem opening  Microsoft Office & PDF Email attachments

    Just got a Motorola Razr.  Having a problem opening Microsoft Office (e.g. Work, Excel) and PDF Email attachments.   Receive message "winmail.dat Unsupported file type".   Can open jpg files.  I have Quick Office, which is suppose to enable you to do this, but does not seem to make a difference.   Wonder if it is an Android 2.3.5 issue.  I used to have a Blackberry and this was not an issue.  This is a showstopper for me and I will return the phone if I can't read Microsoft Office and PDF files attached to emails.  My email server / client is Verizon.
    I would appreciate any recommendations.

    Hope this is one of those "better late than never" scenarios.
    The problem sounded familiar, and it's one that's been around for a long, long time.  I don't think it's a Razr problem, or a Droid problem, but it is about email clients.  I've had similar issues with email on computers.
    The problem starts with Outlook's RTF format.  It saves the document's formatting info (bold, underline, etc.) and other info in the winmail.dat file, and some email clients simply can't decode it. 
    The sender can change the format of what they're sending, though, and I believe that the most recent versions of Outlook can change those format setttings on a person-by-person basis (don't want to start a rumor here because I could be wrong about that).
    Just copy and paste the error message into Google (or your preferred search engine, and you'll see some info that might be helpful.

  • Downloaded photoshop elements 12 it is giving me the option to open with... what do i do

    I HAVE HAD LOTS OF PROBLEMS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO DOWNLOAD PHOTOSHOP ELEMENTS 12 BACK ON TO MY LAPTOP AS IT WAS BROKEN AND NOW HAS BEEN FIXED. WHILE DOING THIS THE FIRST 2 TIMES I HAD A MESSAGE APEAR AT TEH END OF TEH DOWNLOADING SAYING
    ADOBE READER COULD NOT OPEN PHOTOHSHOP ELEMENTS 12 WWEFDJ.DMG BECAUSE IT IS EITHER NOT A SUPPORTED FILE TYPE
    I HAVE THEN OPENED UP FIREFOX AND HAVE DOWNLOADED IT ON THAT. NOW IT IS GIVING ME THE OPTION TO OPEN WITH?
    PLEASE HELP ME HOW DO I OPEN THIS TO INSTALL

    Wow.  That's weird.
    Is your iPad jailbroke?  If it is, all bets are off.  If it is not jailbroke, keep reading.
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    I have a new MacBook Pro and need to know what I need to do to open Microsoft Office files?

    Use a product such as OpenOffice, LibreOffice, Google Docs, iWork, or Microsoft Office 2008 or newer. In the case of Word documents, you can also use TextEdit.

    Yes, of course that is why I recommend them as office-compatible apps for iOS.  That is exactly what they are designed for - to allow you to work with your MS Office documents on your iOS device.
    I'm not sure of the current price, but if you search the app store, they are very easy to find - Docs2Go and QuickOffice have been amongst the top ranked MS Office-type apps for several years now.  Both also include a means to move files from your computer to your iOS device (QuickOffice uses an embeded file server over wifi, and Docs2Go has a free companion sync app for your computer).

  • When I run a report from a certain website, it is in Excel format. Currently I have only the option to save it. I also want the option to open it. How do I get this option back? [SOLVED]

    In IE, when I run these reports, I have the option to Open, Save, or Cancel. In Firefox it just goes directly to a folder to Save, there is no Open option, which I need. I want to view the report immediately, not save it.

    I figured it out - Tools, Options, Applications. For Excel, change to Always Ask.

  • The option to open a new tab is not working?

    The option to open a new tab is not working?
    I click on the little box but nothing happens?

    Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
    There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
    * Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
    * Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons
