Why in Word 14.3.2 is Copy grayed out

Thanks for prompt reply, Kurt.
Yes, highlighted. Word has been working on my MacBook Pro and PowerBook for years. The Copy part got tired, I guess.
My only way round is to Cut whatever I've written, paste the words to another document, then undo the cut on the oroiginal document.
Crude but works.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

Why is the check box for remember passwords grayed out? It used to work now it won't save them.

It could be because you have Firefox set to not remember any history. Did you do that intentionally? It is set in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Privacy
Perhaps it would work if you choose "Use custom settings for history" and just turn off the specific things you want to turn off.
Any luck?

Hi sweatt,

In the Summary tab, locate the Account Name field in the right column and write it down.
Click OK.

Why is my "hide toolbar" in the View grayed out. I am not able to show the toolbar.

Why are my header icons and toolbar buttons grayed out?

I purchased a used Macbook Pro from ebay. Appeared to be in good working order when I first started working with it, but I have updated from OS X 10.9.2 to 10.9.5 and downloaded Open Office program, set up my mail and went through the system preferences and personalized it. Also ran disk utilities. Then, this AM, when I restarted, the header icons on the right side are grayed out except for the battery %, the date and time and notifications. Also, in mail and safari, the toolbar buttons are blank (forward, back, print, mail, bookmarks, autofil, history and downloads). What happened? I went to the disk utility from the recovery partition (repaired disk and disk permissions). I also reset parameters. Don't know what to do next. Not sure if this is a hardware or software problem, but I am assuming it is software (OS X) related at this point. Please help.

Start up in Safe Mode.

Why are the CROP and RED EYE TOOLS grayed out?

My sister, who is new to iPhoto, can't crop her photos because, she says, the crop tool icon is grayed out. She's using iPhoto 4, v. 4.0.3.
She lives in another state, so when I come up with a solution or solutions, I can try to talk through it on the phone - each of us on our computers.
It was suggested by someone on another forum that the com.apple.iphoto.plist file in her Preferences folder in her library might be corrupted and that deleting that file & then relaunching iPhoto could solve it.
I talked my sister through deleting the file & relaunching iPhoto but it didn't do the trick. When she selects a photo and clicks on Edit, both the Red Eye AND the Crop tools are grayed out.

It's been awhile since I used that level of iPhoto but I believe that you have to select an area on the photo before you can use either of these two tools. For crop simply select the desired area and for red-eye select a small area around the eyes.

Why are the options grayed out??

Why are the majority of my edit options grayed out. I cant copy and paste

OK. So we've established that you're in Photoshop CC on Windows 7 (nothing to do with Acrobat or Acrobat Reader).
What exactly are you trying to do in Photoshop CC? Can you outline in detail what steps you're taking and what's confusing you?

Last night I downloaded the latest Word update. Today the first Word document crashed and I lost 45 minutes of work in spite of having saved the document numerous times. Why is Word crashing the day after a safety update? I have Office 2008 for Mac

One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open Console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & next startup for clues.

Why capital letters change in lower after copying them from a PDF document, or otherwise, why some uppercase are in fact lowercase when I look in the Text Property in any PDF Reader.

your home page to get into your Web site should be index.html (for Mac) or index.htm (on PC)
You can name it something other than index, but will be harder to find. when you create the subjects and link to them, they can can be named anything with the html extension Or if your using PHP end in .php. There is a Microsoft type asp or aspx but your hosting service has to set up using windows server system.
My hosting service use a Linux server normally but can convert Windows for a Fee. UNIX Linux has no concept of asp or aspx.
