Word doesnt play nicely with spaces

When i open up microsoft word i have it set up to open in my second space. the problem is, when i switch back and forth from that space to my first one or another space, and then back, parts of word get left behind. For instance, all the controls in the toolbox are just floating in another space, or my cursor is just floating in a random window. are people aware of this, is there anything i can do to fix it?

You said it in your Subject title - MS Office is not completely compatible with Spaces. Menus sometimes appear in Spaces other than where they were assigned. But that happens on my machine with other applications, like switching from a Space running Safari to an empty Space. Using the Control-arrow or Control-keypad-number to change Spaces may help.
It may be fixed in the next release of Office for the Mac, which occurs about every 4 years (Office 2000 to Office 2004 to Office 2008) so look for a fix in 2012.

  • Anti-virus that will play nicely with VMWare Fusion

    I am using VMWare to run my Boot Camp installation of Windows 7 (64-bit). I want to install anti-virus software that will play nicely with my Boot Camp installation and the same installation when run from within VMWare. I am thinking of Symantec or McAfee (which comes with VMWare). Any recommendations?

  • Can one button type play nicely with others?

    So, I'm creating this nice little movie that has 5 or so
    buttons on it (think: click on image to see painting, like a
    gallery) and I've got four of the buttons working nicely with a
    little help from my friend Actionscript 3.0 (eventListener and his
    friend gotoAndStop and some others). These buttons go to a new
    keyframe in the movie that contain the images for each button.
    Relatively easy.
    My question concerns the last button. This button wants
    information (text) to pop-up or go away when clicked irrespective
    of what frame the movie is on. I can't for the life of me figure
    out how to get this done. And in a related question, is it possible
    for this button to stay in it's down state until clicked again
    (like a pause/play button on a music player)?
    Sorry in advance for this lame question and thanks for any
    input.

    Either create a movieclip with text and control its
    visibility with the button, or have a textfield and assign/remove
    text.
    You cannot make a button hold a state when mouse events
    change for it. You can either create a movieclip version of it and
    control where it is in its own timeline, or have two buttons, one
    drawn for the normal state and one drawn for the down state, and
    control their visibility between each each on clicking them....
    click one, it makes the other visible and itself invisible,
    etc.

  • Mplayer can't play files with spaces in their name

    After scratching my head and reinstalling codecs several times without luck, and old memory resurfaced of this occuring before and I managed to solve the problem.
    The thing is that if you doubleclick a file in Nautilus, and said files has spaces in its name, mplayer won't be able to play it, and gives a very cryptic error message, ie "cannot play file a%20b.avi" if the name of the file is "a b.avi".
    The trick is mentioned in this thread -- you edit /usr/share/applications/mplayer.desktop and change 'Exec=gmplayer %U' to 'Exec=gmplayer %F'.
    The bug has been around forever, and hasn't been fixed yet. Perhaps the mplayer devs don't want to fix it. In any case, I would propose that either we fix this in the mplayer Arch package, or that someone more knowledgeable than I get in touch with the devs about it.
    Just a suggestion, but I think it's kind of important. It's really confusing to new users.

    In my opinion, it it's not arch's job to fix bugs from upstream, no matter if it's mplayer or gnome's fault. Of course there are exceptions, eg if a bug in a critical package hardlocks the whole system, or adds a huge security risk.
    I would like to belive that the general arch user is smart enough to find one of the 30 threads about this bug (or the entry on the bugtracker) and fix it themselves. Personaly I would put this in the same category as packages that don't have a .desktop file at all from upstream.
    Oh, and as a small sidenote: http://phraktured.net/patching-patching-patching.html

  • The Library window cannot be viewed or pulled up, though I can play music with space bar?

    I am experiencing the weirdest problem with iTunes. I opt to launch an alternate iTunes Library by holding down the Option key when opening iTunes. I have an entirely separate iTunes Library for work purposes.
    When I locate and select my alternative iTunes Library, the program opens, but the Library window cannot be viewed. I can only view the Equalizer window. My music content seems to be there, as when I hit the space bar, some music plays (it seems like it is set on a particular playlist). I can freely switch between these tracks with the keyboard options, but I have no way of accessing everything else offered by the Library window. =(
    This is distressing because I have a lot of graphics and and organized project playlists of media for work purposes.
    I am running iTunes 9.0.2 (25) on PowerPC 10.4.11. I'm wondering if there's a chance that I have not loaded this alternate Library since I updated iTunes from 8 to 9.
    Does this make sense to anyone? I would greatly appreciate any assistance or suggestions!
    Is it easy to uninstall an itunes version, or possible to install an older version in place of a newer version?
    Of course, my personal music iTunes Library loads the Library window without issue, so I'm not sure how this could have happened. Could it be an issue with the Library asset files?
    Thanks so much!

    I fixed it!  I searched the knowledge base and found an Apple article! Thanks for reading!

  • M-Audio 61ES not playing nicely with Logic Pro X!

    The 61ES has been doing some really wacky things: I opened it up out of the box for the first time last night and right off the bat the middle octave of notes on the controller were very quiet compared to the high and low notes on the board. It was like the velocity wasn't working properly on those keys or something. The sounds worked fine in Logic when I pencilled them in. But I was too tired to mess around with it more, so went to bed and figured I'd deal with it in the morning. So this morning, the middle octave of keys seems fine, but the middle G just won't play at all. And many of the notes aren't tracking, or playing- especially during fast passages.
    I pulled up Pro Tools 10 and the 61ES worked fine. So something is going on between the controller and Logic. Anyone have any ideas?
    I'm running it on a MacBook Pro with 10.8.5. And the latest version of Logic Pro X- 10.0.6. Thanks for any advice!

  • Flash not playing nicely with IE favorites bar

    I administer a website (
    http://womenscenter.uconn.edu/new_site/
    ) which on its main page has a Flash movie looping. It also has a
    left menu bar for navigation, and everything is blissful until one
    turns on the favorites bar in Internet Explorer. Then if the screen
    is not big enough, the navigation bar is actually cut off in favor
    of the Flash movie. What this means is that if there isn't enough
    space with the favorites bar for both the navigation bar and the
    movie, the navigation bar loses out rather than the other way
    around (which is what one expects and wants to happen). I know it's
    the Flash movie causing this because it doesn't happen on any of
    the other pages in the site, which are basically identical in
    layout except they don't have the Flash. Any help in preserving the
    navigation bar would be greatly appreciated!

    You can try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

  • OS X and OS 9.2.2 aren't playing nicely with each other

    Hi! Im'm having a problem with OS X and OS 9.2.2 cohabitating on my computer. Here's what I've done so far:
    I have 5 drives on my computer: 1) Dedicated to OS 9.2.2; 2) Backup for OS 9.2.2 (cannot boot from this drive; it has replaced the Zip drive on ATA bus 0); 3) Dedicated to audio; 4) Dedicated to audio backup; 5) Dedicated to document archive (on SCSI card, cannot boot).
    I initialized the audio backup drive (120 gb) and made two partitions: 110 gb for audio backup and 10 gb for OS X. I then installed OS X on the partition successfully.
    Since I had problems before, I restarted and booted from my Norton Utilities disk and checked all the other disks. EACH DISK had this error message:
    "There is a major error in the Alternate Volume Header Block. The last mounted version is invalid. The Volume Header Block and Alternate store important information about your HFS+ disk, such as the number of files and folders on the disk (6, 2, 36)".
    I then repeated the process. Same thing.
    What do I do now? Most of my software is older and not written for OS X, and I can't afford updates. Plus, I like OS 9.2.2, particularly for its stability with audio. Help!
    Thanks.

    Hi Stanley:
    Many is the user who has watched Norton wreak havok on their OS X systems. Although Norton is a great tool for OS 9, and I've never had any cause to question its usefullness with OS 9, NEVER use Norton Utilities on any partition with OS X, not even version 8, which was supposedly compatible with OS X.
    You don't mention which version of OS X you are installing. There were reports of problems with external OS 9-formatted drives and Jaguar (10.2.6) came out. Are you trying to install Jaguar?

  • Can't get EE and SE to play nicely with deploytool

    Hi,
    I have tried the following combinations of installations:
    j2se 1.4.x / j2ee 1.4.x (beta)
    j2se 1.4.x / j2ee 1.3.1
    j2se 1.3.1 / j2ee 1.4.x (beta)
    With all of these combinations, the deploytool utility which comes with the j2ee bundle crashes on me at random times (usually within the first 2 minutes of use). And once its crashed the whole machine needs to be rebooted.
    The only combination which works seems to be:
    j2se 1.3.1 and j2ee 1.3.1 (so that's what I'm using now),
    but I'd like to be able to use the latest and greatest.
    So, has anyone else been having similar troubles?
    Is this just a deploytool thing?
    Cheers, Ben

    Yes ! I am facing the same problem. Whenever I try to run, JAVA Web Start or deploytool, it just crashes, and reboots the system.
    I am trying to use the 131 combination as you suggested. But I would definately like to use the latest and greatest.
    Anybody, if have a solution, let us know please.
    Thanks in Advance.

  • Form doesn't play nicely with Acrobat 8 Pro

    Hi everyone,
    I recently created a very dynamic PDF that we've sent to a number of our partners to help with sharing data.
    One of our partners is using Adobe Acrobat 8 to fill in the form. They have reported a bug where filling in a specific number of repeatable subforms causes the order of the subforms to become jumpled, along with having a large number of blank pages tacked onto the end. Removing the 'threashold' repeatabed subform section puts the form back to rights, but any additional subforms added causes the form to break as I've described above.
    When I check the compatibility tab of the form properties, I see that all three sections are listed as version 7... I think that applies to the version of LiveCycle.
    When I go to save the form as a dynamic PDF, there is a small text included in the save-as screen (near the bottom) saying, "this form is compatible with Acrobat and Adobe Reader 9.0 or later". Is there any way to change the compatibility to 8.0?
    To make matters worse, I don't have access to acrobat 8 Pro, so I can't even see the issue for myself. I just have a number of phone conversations to go off of.
    I would really appreciate any help that any one might be able to offer. Thanks!
    - Scott

    Hi,
    Keep in mind, you only need Reader to use the forms (unless you're doing somthing beyond filling-in form fields). Encouraging Reader (vs Pro) lets the user have the full benefit of all form handling updates--and other compatibility issues like IE9. I've have seen what I believe may be a bug that went away when the client upgraded from Reader 9 to Reader 10. It had to do with repeating table cells all named "Cell" .
    For one user, their Reader 9 choked, reporting that it couldn't find Row[i]Cell (this is when the script was looking at Row[i].Cell[0] in a for loop). Didn't like it, but upgrading to Reader 10 made it go away--whew!
    I don't rule out that if we tried re-instatling Reader 9, that might have fixed it, as well. However, I've had a problem reported from a different user with Reader 9, that went away with Reader 10, as well. I didn't have the opportunity to view the error reported, so I can't say for sure it was the same thing. That user upgraded and the problem went away.
    I now insist that my clients have Reader 10. For me, its just asking for trouble, not to. Here you see there have been improvements for form handling in Reader 8, 9 & 10.

  • Front Row doesn't play nicely with MP4's

    Friends, I have several MP4 music videos which were downloaded from YouTube. They play fine in Quicktime, and Quicklook opens them fine. I dragged them into iTunes mostly just to see If they would play there. They work fine. The problem is that when I open MUSIC in Front Row, the videos are shown as an available playlist, but when I try to open that playlist, Front Row tells me that there is no music in the files. I wonder if I'm asking FR to do something it just doesn't want to do, or perhaps I need to rename the file, or store them in another manner in iTunes. It's not really a big deal, just one of those things that makes ya go Hmmmm....
    For what it's worth, my QT version is 7.6, iTunes is version 8 and FR has been updated to 2.1.7.
    I'll appreciate your insight.
    Thanks
    Jon

    Yes, there are only three or four settings stored in there. The last module selected when you closed Front Row (Music, TV Shows, Podcasts, DVD, Photos, or Movies), the country your iTunes is set for (so Front Row can show the "top rated" items from the store) and whether or not you've turned on sound effects and/or the Front Row screen saver. No other preferences are stored there. All of the media-specific preferences are store in the application that controls that media (the DVD Player.app for the DVD settings, iTunes for the Music settings and iPhoto for the Photos settings).

  • Time Capsule does not play nicely with Cisco Router

    Three days ago, I had an older Linksys router attached to our ISP's cable modem by ethernet; the network included a wireless time capsule and apple express base station set up by our son last year (who understands this stuff, but lives 2,000 miles distant).  The router died and I purchased a new Linksys router (E2500).  It is occupying the same spot as the old router, but running with no security settings as yet.  My wife's iMac and two Windows XP laptops work just fine on the network, as well as our NetFlix connection on our TV.  My MacPro, however, can not access the main network - it can see it but won't grab an IP address.  It will, however, see and connect to the router's guest account, although with reduced signal strength.  The Time Capsule is now connected to the MacPro by ethernet (if I make it wireless, it will back up fine, but I can't access Internet or send email on the guest account).  The AirPort Express is unplugged and not a factor.
    Yesterday, I spent most of the day on the phone with Cisco (who claimed AirPort Express will not work with their routers, which I know to be, um, less than accurate), and with Apple Support - who did not help (other than to set up a Genius Bar appointment this morning at the local Apple Store).  The Genius Bar turned out to be a disappointment as well - the MacPro with Time Capsule attached worked perfectly on the main network in the store, but at home, even with a test user account with Admin authority, as they suggested), no go.
    If I unpower Time Capsule, I loose Internet.  With Time Capsule plugged in, I can access my router's guest account -
    Aside from returning this router and starting fresh with a different brand router, any suggestions?
    Thanks for any guidance, suggestions, etc.

    My first reaction is to suggest you ring your son.. !!
    And I guess my second one, would be to remove the E2500, and connect the time capsule directly to the cable modem.. they are equivalent devices. The TC is an excellent wireless router and will work better as the primary router in your network. Turn off the cable modem so it can pick up the new device.. plug the TC directly to the cable modem then turn on both.
    Make sure the TC is working as router.. and you should be able to setup the wireless to connect all your computers etc.
    The E2500 can also be used as a WAP if you need more range. But be aware you have to make sure it uses a separate channel to the TC. Plug it in via ethernet to LAN port not WAN.. and turn off dhcp and set the IP to same IP range as the TC but make it outside the dhcp scope. So for example the TC is running 10.0.1.1 and then make the E2500 10.0.1.254
    The express cannot do WDS to the Linksys.. so what you were told is correct. It may be able to connect via ethernet but not as repeater. But you can do that with the TC now that it is the main router.

  • The New iPad and iPhoto: will they play nicely with Aperture

    After seeing the awesome demonstration of the the iPhoto for the The New iPad I am excited to use it once my new iPad is delivered.
    However, long ago, I abandonded iPhoto on my Mac for Aperture.
    Does anyone have any idea if iPhoto on the iPad can share/sync photos with Aperture on the Mac?  I'm guessing so.  Would love to be able to use the iPad to sort through, edit, delete, photos, then have them sync so they are available in Aperture.  I'm sure this will be available through PhotoStream, but with its limit of 1000 photos, that's not exactly what I'm hoping for.
    Any thoughts?

    Hi Terence,
    You are right in many aspects, in particular when it comes to doing edits on a tablet to a photograph... Being a photographer I see no point in editing photographs on a display that will not show true colours to begin with... And in fact the fact that both Aperture and Lightroom do not support editing within colour channels (only photoshop does to my knowledge) makes them both very clumsy tools apart from two important functions: 1 sorting and previewing 2 adjusting exposure (and ONLY exposure). Aperture has a better RAW converter than Lightroom this is the only reason for using Aperture over Lightroom (OK it is user friendlier too).
    The only Workflow support a tablet CAN and should provide professionally speaking is pre-sorting, ratings, colour labeling, possibly croppings. Everything else should be manioulaated on a big true colour screen and preferably within the colour channels in Hotoshop.
    That means all the iPad needs to provide is: 1) an upload from you camera directly into the iPad (check) 2) a sorting, labeling and rating function.
    Ironically the second function does exist -- for Lightroom .... The app is called Photosmith and works like a charm. Unfortunately Lightrooms RAW converter isn't great so then I have to export from Lightroom back to several folder mimicking my various rating and sortings and then re-import to Aperture... Yes we're in 2012! And yes we are talking of the prime product of the most highly valued Technology company called Apple
    I'm going at length to explain this because a) I'm increasingly frustrated at Apple's complete misregard for real professional needs (which seems to grow exponantionally with every success they celebrate in the consumer market) and b) frustrated with the ipad - being one of my worst purchases in 2011. Not because it isn't cool, but because it is simply being artificially cut in functionality just so that Apple may sell more Macbooks.
    Because the only true reason for a laptop these days is either you are constantly travelling - and I mean constantly... which few people truely are... or you're working in a remote location... Or your iPad just doesn't perform enough even for basics so that you still need to take a laptop even if you're away for just a week or two and intheory all you need is email and an app to rate and colour code the images you took, and possibly upload them to a server so that an assistant can take care of the rest - because you're too busy to be actually retouching images anyway...
    I hope Tim Cook will change a few things - he does seem a bit less stubborn. I am hoping for the best because I know a few people within my circles (we're all early adopters and were proud owners of the Titanium Powerbook) who are already thinking of alternatives... Cheers

  • Spry accordion widget not playing nicely with IE7

    Good day.
    The answer to this issue may be on this forum somewhere already, but I cannot take the time to scour the several hundreds of posts.
    I've build and customized my first spry accordion, which can be viewed at http://www.brianfisherart.com/Bio/Contact/
    In Firefox and Safari, it works perfectly! IE7 however has some issues. the panels get too large on mouseovers, and jumpy and even larger when opening lower level panels.
    Just hoping to find a quick fix.
    Thanx in advance.

    I'm certainly not going to do your search for you, but you might want to see if using the current version 1.6.1 works better.
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/
    If that doesn't work, you might want to go to the Spry forum.
    Of course, now that you've posted, I wonder if any of the links in that "More Like This" box apply?

  • Setting up a Netgear WNDR3700 router to play nicely with Lion Server

    I am in the process of setting up my first Mac Server. The router I have is a Netgear WNDR3700 and I was wondering if anyone has used this before in terms of getting port forwarding set-up so I can begin to activate services and access the server online etc.
    Thanks in advance for any help or tips...

    This guide is for Apple Remote Desktop, but if you repeat these steps for all the ports you require you should be good to go. Don't just open ports for the sake of it. Choose wisely and keep the list as small as possible. And make sure you have a firewall enabled!
