  • Opening a new word or Paint Document?

    Hello, I have a question about AppleWorks 6.2.9 running on the new intel based Mac mini running 10.4.10, the problem started during the time this computer was running 10.4.9 when AppleWorks is running, an a new word document or paint document is opened it displays at a max of 2.5 inches in width.
    I tried selecting >format > section.. > tried changing the width to 6.50 (normal width) < no luck - as it changes back to the 2.5
    also tried trashing the preference files pertaining to AppleWorks < with no luck - still has the same problem
    then verified the Disk (no problems found) and repaired the Disk Permissions < no change still has the same problem
    I reinstalled AppleWorks then verified the Disk (no problems found) and repaired the Disk Permissions < no change still has the same problem
    This post is to help out someone I know.
    any help would be great!
    <br>
    PowerBook G4 867Mhz   Mac OS X (10.4.10)   as of 7/16/07 my PBG4 is running 10.4.10 everything is running smooth an considerably faster now!

    Hi James,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
    This would appear to be a Page Size error rather than a Format > Section problem.
    Open a New WP document, then go to File > Page Setup. Set the Page size to the size of paper you generally use (probably US Letter or A4) then click OK.
    When you return to the page, it should have changed to the standard size.
    Now go Format > Document. The default settings for this dialogue (with US Letter size pages and the Ruler in inches) are:
    All four margins: 1 (inch)
    Start at page: 1
    Display one page above the next.
    Show margins.
    Show Page guides.
    Footnotes at: bottom of page.
    Automatic numbering.
    Start at: 1
    Items not mentioned are unchecked.
    Change the settings to these defaults if they are different, then click OK.
    Press shift-command-S to Save as...
    In the dialogue, click the Template button (the Save location will change to the Templates folder, and the .cwk extension will change to .cws).
    Name the file "AppleWorks WP Options" and accept the .cws extension. Click Save.
    The settings you've made in this document should now apply to all NEW word processor documents created with that copy of AppleWorks.
    You can also create a new default Paint template through much the same set of steps. Save the Paint template as "AppleWorks PT Options.cws"
    Default Format settings for Paint documents (on a US Letter size page) are similar:
    All four margins: 1 (inch)
    Start at page: 1
    Show Margins.
    Show Page guides.
    Size:
    468 pixels
    648 pixels
    Note that you can set values for these templates that are different from AppleWorks's default values. The values you set become the default values for all NEW documents (until you change the template), but do not affect existing documents.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Since downloading Lion my XL, publisher and email open up automatically on reboot, can someone tell me how to stop this please.

    Can someone help as since downloading Lion, I have XL, Publisher and email opening up on reboot all at once, gets annoying. Can you switch these off. I am a pretty new user on Mac. Thanks

    Think reset is the way to go. Settings>general>reset>erase all contents. reconnect to iTunes and set it up as a new phone, not from previous back up.

  • Acrobat X (only) pauses for minutes when opening a new PDF

    If I just had a PDF file open, close it, then reopen it, Acrobat X (specifically) won't pause. But if I try to open a new PDF file, Acrobat X will open it but then will hang for as long as 3 minutes before letting me edit it.
    Why does Acrobat X do this.
    Thanx for any replies.
    Slowly

    I see this behavior too.    It hangs and won't accept mouse commands for 30 seconds when opening a new document.   It also won't let me close the window "application not responding."  

  • Previous window opens when opening a new window

    When I have a number of windows open, and am looking at, say the third window and wish to open a new window, the last window in the sequence opens just before the new window.
    Although the new window will be on screen, as soon as I close the new window, instead of going back to my last viewed window, it goes to the last window in the bar.......it is very annoying and would like to get rid of this problem.

    What's an "I bar?"

  • When opening a new tab i wish to see current tab again on the new page

    when opening a new tab i wish to see the contents of my currently open webpage again on the new page

    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click the Reload button on the location/address bar to open the current page in a new tab.
    * Hold Command and left-click or middle-click items in the tab history of the Back and Forward buttons to open a page from that list in a new tab<br>You can hold down the left mouse button on the Back or Forward button to open the tab history.
    * Duplicate a tab with its history by pressing the Option key and dragging the tab to a new position on the tab bar.
    * Dragging a tab in the browser window will detach the tab and move it to a new window, this is called tab tearing.
    * Drag a tab back to the tab bar in the original or anther window to undo a detach or move a tab to a specific window. If a window gets empty (you tear off the last tab) then that window will be closed automatically.

  • [SOLVED] KDE switches activities when opening a new File

    First off, I've been using KDE Plasma Workspaces for a few months now, and for the most part am largely satisfied.  Thanks to both the developers of KDE and to the contributors on Arch who made setting everything up a breeze.
    One thing that does annoy me however is how it switches Activities when opening  a new file, if the default application already has a running instance.  For instance, say I have one Activity which I am using as a development environment and have Kate open to view source.  Now I switch to a second Activity where I am working on editing style sheets for my web page and again wish to use Kate.  If I open Dolphin and click on one of my style sheets (launching Kate as the default editor) I will be switched back to my first Activity and have the style sheet opened in the already running instance of Kate. 
    To me this behavior is not ideal, I would rather have the DE spawn a new instance of kate for that Activity.  I've perused through some of the settings options but haven't seen anything obvious.

    Thanks for the response schmidtbag, but these are both suggestions for opening a file in an existing instance of Kate, when I am looking to instead spawn a new instance (at least for the current Activity).  Also, these suggestions are specific to Kate, where I would like this behavior to extend across KDE.
    Maybe I am just making a big fuss over nothing,  but for me it seems more appropriate to spawn a new instance of a program if I click on a file from a file browser, such as Dolphin.  If I wanted to open a file in an already running instance of a program I would use Ctrl+O from that program, or drag the file over to the program as schmidtbag suggested.
    I'm thinking about reposting over at kde.org, I'll be sure to follow up back over here, no matter what the outcome is.

    I actually need help but cannot find the answer.
    Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
    Thank you.

    When opening a new tab, can I show the previous history in the new window?

    You can try middle-clicking (scroll wheel) the Back button which will open a new tab with the same History.

    A new tab opens by default as a blank tab (about:blank).
    If that isn't the case then an extension has changed that behavior.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    You can middle-click or hold down Ctrl and left-click the Home button on the Navigation toolbar to open the Home page in a new tab.
    You can look at this extension to set which page to open in a new tab:

  • When opening a new tab, there is a Yahoo search screen showing rather than an empty tab and I would like to shut it off, how do I do this? thanks

    somewhere on updating, I picked up a yahoo toolbar, which I did not like. One of the tasks it performed was to bring up a yahoo search and news box when opening a new tab every time. I have not been able to uninstall it or shut it off, Any ideas where to start. When opening the new tab, it starts at "click,w3i.com" and then goes to "search.yahoo.com" and has some trending searches and latest news, My network is slow enough with out waiting for all these things to pass. Any idea how to eliminate it or shut it off. It is not listed in tool bars or options or add-ons or plugins or anything. below are the two links the tab goes through, they are listed in reverse order. Thanks for the help. Have a great day.

    Yes it was an add on called net assistant by freeze.com and I have found that, disabled it and intend to uninstall it, it must of come in with something else, I did not down load it specifically. Thanks

  • Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    Hello. I have a new Computer and import my mediathek with an externe storage. When opened the new Mediethek in front of every song there is a explanation mark: original song could not been found. I try everything. Whats the Problem??

    But it seems the OP has a setup where the media is on the external drive, and the library files are on the internal. This is what I refer to as a split library, Migrating such from one computer to another is not straightforward. Often iTunes will have some definite idea about where the files should live, and updating the setting of the media folder won't change that. If it requires a drive letter change that is usually not too hard, but sometimes there is another preference file that needs tweaking to indicate which of the old & new layouts for the library is being used. In more extreme cases I have a script for automatically making track by track repairs.
