Why do symbols I insert into Word docs show up funny when I send the docs to others? I am using Mac OS X v. 10.6.8 and Microsoft Office 2008.
Whenever I insert a symbol (from Webdings, etc.) as a bullet or just an insert, it looks fine on my copy, however, when I send the document to someone else they tell me it shows up as a weird looking character, like a little number inside a circle. It has happened with several symbols I've used. Anyone know what the problem could be? Thanks!

Webdings and wingdings are non-standardized in terms of how they should be encoded and thus subject to the kind of problem you have encountered. Best to use dingbats or other symbols found in the non-private-use ranges of Unicode in your Character Viewer.

The Mac is (IMHO) - Excel is a MicroSoft product - therefore it needs MS support

PS - you might give the Apple Numbers forum a try - more likely that someone there might know Excel details than here in the iPhoto forum

HELP!!! i have a mac g 5 and i uploaded Microsoft Office 2008 for my 90 year old mother. Now when she tries to open earlier word docs, they won't open at all :-( what happened? I SEE THE WORD IN THE NAVIGATION BAR BELOW, but when she tries to open a word doc, the navigation bar opens and closes around the Word symbol and nothing happens :-( i'm going crazy :-( PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP AND LET ME KNOW WHAT TO DO?
If you have not already done so, repair permissions and restart your computer. Or boot up from your install DVD and run "Repair Disk" from the Utility menu. When done, restart back to your desktop, repair permissions and restart your computer. Suggest that you post in the Microsoft Office for Mac Forums if the above does not work.

I purchased the package that allows you to export PDF files into Word files. Whenever I try to export the PDF into a Word file it never works... I don't know if there's something key that I'm missing but I'm pretty bummed I paid for it and it won't work. Can anybody help me out?
Hello,
I have paid for this service for a year and it never worked on my computer. I just renewed and it finally converted the file but it will not let me edit it. I join you in being bummed. Either I get help with this or I am asking for a 2 year refund. My intention was to be able to edit a pdf in MS Word.

How can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before
how can i insert to word number pages after 6 pages but considering the pages before.
I assume this is Microsoft Word, and you want the first six pages to have no footer, subsequent pages to have a footer showing the page number.
1. Insert a section break after the first six pages.
2. Insert page numbers. This will add a footer with page numbers to both sections.
3. Unlink the section 2 footer from the section 1 footer. [Click in the footer area, uncheck Link to Previous in the Header and Footer toolbar.]
4. Delete the page number from the section 1 footer.
Your document will now show page numbering on all pages starting with section 2. -

Where are you importing from – a camera or computer? If you are optimizing at import, make sure the background processes are completed. (Command-9)

I have a MacBook Pro 15" 2007 which sometimes goes berserk writing the letter 'h' in a word processor. It stops when I hit the delete key for a while. Also can't use the letter 'h' in a word processor. The computer makes a fast tapping sound when not in a doc, in any application or in the finder or when a application is running. Sometimes when this is happening I cannot control the cursor. I have to hit the 'delete' key to proceed. Does anyone know anything of this?

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.

I've had issues with my iPhoto "not responding" and as a result I am attempting to save my photos to an external hard drive using iPhoto library Manager but each time I start the program it saves some, and then when it starts iPhoto, iPhoto then goes into not responding mode. Using mac book pro, iphoto 9.5.1, and maverick 10.9.2. I have completed all of the photo library first aid steps several times, but it makes no difference, iphoto eventually goes to "not responding." Initial issues started with Time Machine back ups stopping because of iphoto. Thanks......
Do you have a back up?
If you're just trying to recover the photos you can do that much more simply:
Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
Look there for a Folder called 'Originals' or 'Masters'. (varies according to the version of iPhoto)
Your photos are inside - these are the originals as imported from your camera. -
Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??
It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this. You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices. If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to. If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account. (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod. Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge. -
