When writing an email or word doc, If i press ' key on my keyboard it returns down a line

Every-time i use the Apostrophe key ' when writing an email on Mac mail the curser automatically drops down a line, like I've hit the enter key.
Please help me fix.

Try a different keyboard. At least on the QWERTY USA keyboards, the two keys are side by side. If anything gets stuck between those keys, it can make it take both keys as a command. Alternatively if you aren't careful where you type, you may hit enter when you've not meant to. Pulling the keys off the keyboard is rarely recommended as you can damage the key mechanism. There are keyboard vacuums that can help if the machine is turned off. I would not use them when the machine is turned on, as static electricity could easily damage the mechanism when it is on.

Pease don't say the "latest" that doesn't tell us anything.
People are always getting it wrong.
Tell us the actual version number:

Can you select the footer? And what is in the footer?
Sometimes Word has these things in separte textboxes under other things and you need to lassoo them to get rid of them.

Hi hamsa142,
Is this problem specific to one file, or does it happen with any file that you convert to PDF? How was the PDF created (using what application)?
For starters you may want to disable OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (O... | Adobe Community.

In Outlook for Mac, when writing an email, underscores make italics.

When writing an email, when I underscore on either side of two w's, the underscores disappear and the w's are italicized. Frustrating, because my new business email has two underscores on either side of two w's, so I can't enter my address in the body of the email. Any suggestions?

You can turn it off under Outlook's preferences. Click on AutoCorrect then AutoFormat. Uncheck the box that says "Bold" and _italic_ with real formatting"

My mail, when reading an email, has an icon which is like a box with an arrow pointing down into it, what is it for? When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. It still apperars in "all Mail" mailbox.

When I tap it my email goes "somewhere" out of my inbox. The email, which was moved from my inbox still apperars in "ALL Mail" mailbox.

That is the "Move" the email icon. Tap on that icon and you can move the email to any box or folder that is in black type on the left side of the window - under the Mailboxes heading. If the type is in grey on the left side - that box or folder is not an option that you can use.

Why when I am converting a word doc into a PDF are some of the pages moving around. It appears to be

Why when I am converting a 50 page word doc into a PDF using Acrobat XI Pro the pages are moving around.
It appears to be happening in the places where the previous page is not a complete full page, just a half page.
It is moving these pages up into the previous half page, but it is only moving them several lines into that page
Which has totally distored my e-book.
It is attaching all my pattern sheets at the very end of the file okay, etc.

Also, to be more sure you get in the PDF what you are seeing in WORD, go to the print menu and select the Adobe PDF printer, then go back to editing. The is a feature of almost all word processors to reflow the document for best results with the attached printer. It is also one of the problems of using WORD forms that such form designers miss. If you don't like the reflow, many the Adobe PDF printer your default and always print to Acrobat. If you want it to go to a printer, then print from Acrobat to that printer and it should remain intact. The other way to avoid the reflow is to use a layout program like Publisher or InDesign.

Showing rule when writing an email

When I am writing an email, I don't know how to make appear (or hide) the rule that it should show at the beginnig of the text, so I could position the text accordingly (tabulations ans so on).
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Which version of Outlook are you using?
Do you mean you want to show the Ruler when you writing an email?
In Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2010, you can use the horizontal ruler across the top of the Outlook message body in Outlook to align text, graphics, tables, and other elements.
In Outlook 2013, you can enable it again by adding the “Ruler” command to the Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) or the Ribbon. See:

Mail crashes unexpectedly when writing new email

I have a 16gb 3g latest os and uptodate iTunes etc.
I have three accounts on my phone all imap vie three separate providers.
At an annoying regularity, whilst I am typing (tapping?) an email, Mail will just close/crash and my words will be gone forever. It seems only to occure after a few paragraphs of typing. Very short emails don't seem to be affected. I'm pretty certain it's nothing to do with the bounced email issue I have found discussed around here. I have bounced emails I am aware of on my phone.
I get around this issue by constantly saving my typing as a draft and then re-opening the email to continue. But that's when I remember to do it!
The issue seems to occure no matter what account I am writting from. It does not seem to be related to a precise length of writing. Sometimes I note the response of the keyboard slows down before the crash. I will often see the big letter showing where I tapped just stuck in place before Mail shuts down.
I do wonder if the seemingly random nature is connected to my phone doing some sort of background thing like a network activity of somesort for eg. I'm always on home wifi for my longer emailing.
I've tried switching all accounts to manual checking (as opposed to push/fetch). No change.
Anyone else get these random wipe outs? Suggestions?
There is nothing worse than loosing ten minutes of fiddly iPhone email writing!

Tried anything...
As I said in my original post I have tried fiddling with my account settings such as push, fetch and manual. Its not something one likes to experiment with as it usually results in lost email "work"!
I've reset my phone numerous times.
This issue has been dogging me for a long time now (months)
On the whole my phone is working fine. I get the occasional web browser glitch, but nothing I would consider "wrong".
I appreciate that a restore to back-up or "as new" is a common cure-all for iphone ills. I just thought I'd post to see if anyone has had similar experience to me with Mail and what worked for them. Perhaps they worked out exactly what triggers these seemingly random crashes for eg, so that they can be avoided.
Or perhaps its just me with this issue - if so, I suspect a full phone reset/restore may be in order.

When I open a former "word doc" it gets a page longer, why?

Hello,
I'm using "pages' on my new Mac Mini, there a some documents that
I transferred from my current pc, that where on a format "word".
When I open one of them, It has some changes that discontent me,
and invalidate some documents: the changes are that they are becoming
longer, instead of 2 pages for example I get 3, and the sentences are shorter
from about one word less in each sentence.
How can I cancel this phenomenon?
I tried to bigger the text on left side, without result.
Thancks!
Sarah: it's pretty urgent!

You can't, Pages is a mediocre Word clone. You will normally have to edit any Word document in Pages to get it to look as it did in Word.
If you want it to look like it did in Word, buy Word for Mac.

I used to have the mailboxes window on my screen (left side) when writing an email. I want it back, but CANNOT figure how to get it back. Please help. Thanks

Where are the mailboxes???
The opening window has the list of incoming emails. The left column of the page has the Mailbox window with folders. Perfect.
When I click Write - or Reply - or Forward, the window comes up with the write window... and my total address book - but NOT the Mailboxes. It was would come up until last week. And now I can't figure out how to add the mailboxes folder to the write/reply/forward screen.
And from that screen, I cannot get back to the main screen to reference another email. Real hassle. Am sure there is an easy answer. Would live to hear it.

The standard Thunderbird Write window is just that, a composition window. If you turn the Contact Sidebar on by pressing F9 then you can see your address book contacts down the left margin.
If you had anything different it must have been from an add on that you installed. There is no guessing what you did there.

Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 crashes when displaying pdf made from Word doc containing url text

Hello,
I and a few others in my workplace have a similar issue.
Acrobat crashes when they scroll through and view a pdf file that was created from Word. The Word document contains url text in its header to the effect of "visit us at www.blah.com ." They're running Acrobat Pro 8.1.2 and Office 2K Pro SR-1 on XP Pro SP2.
Even though the link is not an active link, (i.e. clicking on it does not open the web page), if I convert a document containing this header to PDF, Acrobat will not allow me to manipulate the file and will crash. When I take the same document and remove the web address, then convert from Word to PDF, I experience no problems with Acrobat (note that this is the identical file, but with the web address removed).This does not explain why Acrobat will work for awhile even with the web address in the header, then stop working. But it does appear to fix my problem with creating a PDF from Word, then manipulating it further.
Does anyone know how to allow for this text to exist in the header and still have a stable pdf file/acrobat behavior?
The pdf is attached.
Thanks....

To sum up, I've found that if a url beginning with www is in the Word document and then created to pdf Adobe will crash when viewing that pdf. If it is deleted from the Word document before creating the pdf, Acrobat will not crash when viewing that pdf.
