  • Since upgrade when I click on a image in my word documents they all select

    Hi There
    I didnt know if this is the correct forum for this, but please dont direct me over to microsoft since I get nowhere fast..
    My problem is this;
    I upgraded my Mac with some software updates, which probably have nothing to do with the problem, but since then when i click on a image in a word document and then go to click on another they both are highlighted (as though I am trying to group them) click on others and the same happens. If I go out of the word document and back in it seems to be fixed, but then it happens over.
    Didnt have the problem before, as I had to click the image and hold shift to click anything further.
    any ideas

    Hi baydreaner,
    Navigate to ~(yourHome)/Library/Preferences/Microsoft and drag that folder to the desktop. Then relaunch Word and test.

  • I installed a game and when i start mozilla i am unable to start with the my home web page how can i fix

    i installed a game and when i start mozilla i am unable to start with the my home web page. i set my home page in options tools. when i open Mozilla it opens in another page that i do not want

    Some add-on or other software included with the "game" you installed might have "hijacked" your Firefox home page. I take it you tried resetting your home page? Ref: [[How to set the home page]]

  • I cannot open/download Word documents. I need to add it to applications, but the "open as" box does not pop up when I click on a link. How can I add Word to applications?

    When I click on a docx file, it works. Only a problem for older version Word and Excel files. When I click on the link, nothing happens. Word files are not listed in my "applications", but I have no way of adding it.

    %AppData% is the name of an environment variable.
    On XP that variable points to C:\Documents and Settings\&lt;user&gt;\Application Data\
    "Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field
    See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
    You can use Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory > Open Containing folder

  • When I click on link in a website firefox randomly decide to reload the page after it has already loaded it once. It's really irritating. I tried uninstalling firefox and installing the latest version but it still does it. HELP!!!!

    After I updated to 3.6.8 I started noticing on a game I play at UniversalCriminal.com that randomly when I click on a link, firefox will load the appropriate page and as soon as it finishes loading that page it will refresh or reload the same page. It doesn't happen on any particular link it just happens randomly, and not all the time but most of the time. I tried reverting back to an earlier version of firefox but it still happened. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled the latest version but it still happens. It doesn't do it with IE or Chrome or Opera. What gives? Any ideas anyone?

    I see that you ave changed some network.http prefs.<br />
    Doing that can cause all kinds of problems because not all servers like such changes, so you can try to reset those prefs on the about:config page.<br />

  • Link one solution manager word document into another solution manager HTML

    Hi,
    I have requirement in solution manager that there are two documents uploaded into solution manager.
    1. One word document in one of the project folder
    2. HTML page in another folder of same project
    I have to set up a hyper link of word document in the HTML web page.
    If anyone has gone through this type of requirement, please let me know the details of how did you set up the link between word and HTML document.
    Appreciate the early response.
    Thanks,
    Siva

    Go to the properties of the file you want to link your word document to. (attributes icon)
    There you will find a button "Generate Document URL (F9)". Clicking this button will buffer the URL into clipboard.
    Then you open your Word document in edit mode and paste the URL there.

  • Can you open a word document in pages 08

    Quick question however stupid it is
    can you open a word document from a pc in pages 08?
    sorry in advance if i have posted this in the wrong discussion area
    cheers
    Message was edited by: Lama323

    The answer is as above wrote yes. Does it do it perfectly, the answer is no. Opening a .doc/.docx in Pages'08 will generate a frame warning message I find. I find text and symbols are preserved well, but formatting is not perfect. An example of my own is in the screenshot below. Same page 28 on a .docx but formatting of the document is not exactly preserved as you can clearly see. Where preservation of formatting is critical Pages is good, but not perfect alternative to Word '08.

  • When I click a link in a website, it loads in another tab, however i get 100's of new tabs that load with "untitled" and when i close firefox, it just opens by itself again and again

    I was on my son's school website and I was looking to click the link to his teachers personal web-page. When I did, many, many "untitled" new tabs kept opening in the same screen. In fact it did not stop until I restarted my computer.
    When I tried to close mozilla firefox page, it would then open up a new screen again doing the many, many "untitled" tabs. Every time I clicked the red X at the top of the screen, it would load a new page doing this.
    It also did this on one other web page.
    I am sure that there is just some info that needs to be entered for what to do when you click a link, however I have no clue how to change it.

    For the list of teachers there are email addresses in the right hand column, did you click on an email address?
    If you did that could explain the multiple tabs being opened. What may have happened is you have the mailto protocol set to open Firefox which results in 100s of tabs opening when you click on an email address. For details on fixing that see [[Firefox keeps opening many tabs or windows]], in particular the section on "Change the action for a content type". My guess is you will find mailto is set to "Use Firefox".

  • When I click email links on firefox, it won't open my AOL email client to continue, I get "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix?

    When I click email links on firefox, it opens AOL, but comes up like this.. "The file may not be supported by AOL, AOL will try to open it as a text file if you choose to continue" how to fix? and yeah, I know, ditch AOL and all that good stuff, but I have so many things tied into my email address that it's not in the cards atm..
    Thanks!

    That file might have moved to a different location on the server. I think you'll need to check with RefWorks support or your local IT department on why the install page links do not work.

  • Just learning my track pad; viewed tutorial; when I click a link, message comes up,"open in new window," etc. How to stop messages?

    I'm just learning how to use my Track Pad on my MacBook Pro, running iOS 10.9.4. I viewed the tutorial, which helped a lot , but still, when I click a link at odd times (I haven't figured out what triggers it yet) a small window with options such as, 'open in new window' opens up. It doesn't happen all the time. I just want the link to  click through without having to  deal with the message. When I click it several times, I may finally get it so the link just opens. How can I avoid those messages?
