Word stuck in Draft Mode

ONE Word file is stuck in draft mode. It can't be the normal.dotx file because it's not affecting other files. Starting in safe mode doesn't change a thing. All the tricks I've read on various forums about changing the columns etc don't do anything. I even
tried checking the option to allow opens in draft, so that I could then uncheck it (since it was opening in draft even when that open was not checked). Nothing works.
I read in another forum that the only solution is to select the entire contents of the document and save it to Notepad, so that it is txt. Then just start over. I have quite a bit of formatting and I'd rather not, but I guess it won't kill me.
Any better ideas?

I'm having this problem too. I use Word 2013. I'm tracking changes on this document, so cutting and pasting is not an option.
And yes, I HAVE tried clicking on "View tab | Print Layout". Obviously, that was the first thing I tried. I tried it
many times. I tried closing the file, reopening it, and clicking "View tab | Print Layout". I tried redownloading
the file, opening it, and clicking "View
tab | Print Layout". I tried having the file resent, both as .docx and .doc,, opening it, and clicking "View
tab | Print Layout".
It's not in protected view.
Nothing has worked. Please let me know how to fix this.

Word 2007 Stuck in Draft Mode

Somehow my Word 2007 documents have gotten switched to draft mode. This appears to be affecting all documents that I am opening on my computer. I have tried all solutions that I have read on the internet but nothing seems to be working.
Please help.
Thank you.

Start by looking at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. If it doesn't work, you could always add a couple of startup macros to your Normal template to force Print Layout view (post back if you want to try this).
Another possibility is that the problem has been caused by third-party (non-Microsoft) add-ins, which must be troubleshot separately.

How do I print in draft mode on Epson Workforce 3540

I just bought and set up an Epson Workforce all in one printer. Everything is working fine, except that I can't get it to print in draft mode.
I've tried a few different applications and all are the same. When I go to print, I get a window that includes a print quality slider at the bottom that includes three settings: draft, normal, and best. The word "draft" is grayed-out. If I try to drag the slider to it, it snaps back to normal in the middle.
I looked in the printer's manual, and it says draft mode can only be selected with "plain paper" selected. But, even when I have plain paper selected, I cannot choose draft quality. In fact, it seems no matter what I try I cannot choose draft quality.
The printer's owner's manual, it also shows some printer dialog windows that I don't get (I think I did get them with the Epson I just replaced, though).
Can anyone tell me how I can select draft print quality, and why I'm having so many problems doing so? Maybe it's to be expected that the Epson isn't letting me select the print mode quality that would save me the most ink.
I'm attaching a screen capture of what I see when I try to print. It is the first image.
I'm also attaching a couple of screen captures from the printer's owner's manual section on Mac printing. These are the printer dialog windows I don't see when I try to print.
What I see when I try to print (note that "Draft" is grayed-out on the quality slider):
These are what the printer's manual seems to suggest I should see (and what I think I did see with my last Epson printer that I just replaced):
And:

Based on your screen captures I believe you may have selected Apple's AirPrint driver rather than the Epson driver. This can happen if you add the printer by selecting it from the small pop-up window that appears with a heading of Nearby Printers after you click the plus button in the Print & Scan preference pane.
To confirm which printer driver you are using, open the Print & Scan preference pane and select the Epson in the Printers colum. The right pane will give some details about the printer. If there is mention of AirPrint in the printer Name or Kind, then this will be the issue. The fix would be to remove this printer from Print & Scan and add again. But this time, don't select the Epson from the Nearby Printers pop-up. Instead, click on Add Printer Or Scanner from this pop-up window and from the next Default Add printer window, select the Epson in the list and ensure you select the Epson driver in the Use menu rather than the AirPrint driver.

My iPod touch 4th gen is stuck in recovery mode with a broken 'lock' button.

My iPod touch 4th generation is stuck in recovery mode with a black screen and I can't get it out. It has a broken lock button and I have tried everything to get it out of recovery mode. Every time I plug it into iTunes, it recognises my iPod and says 'iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore this iPod before it can be used in iTunes, so I have restored it several times and every time, it says there is an unknown error. Please Help!! (my iPod is IOS 6.0.1)

What is the complete wording of the error message that says unknown error? Usually more information like a error number is also given.

Hi
Please refrain from using caps! looks like you are shouting.
You say that your machine is stuck in safe mode. when you boot does it go straight there?
Good read on accessing the advanced options and repairing your machine.

Draft mode report printing

Pl. help us, urgent....
We are developing report in Dev 2000 Reports Builder 3.0.4.6.3 on Windows 98 node.
Our client's requirement is to print the reports on High Speed Dot Matrix Printer at every
workstation place in Draft 10 Cpi font.
I have tried setting Font of all layout components with (Draft 10 Cpi, Regular, 10). The result I have got on Wipro LQ 1050+ Dot Matrix printer is -- it is printing in draft mode but the printer head was tremendously twisting especially while printing the digits.
Later I have tried with setting MODE=character DESTYPE=PREVIEW. The output of preview geting trailed for each line and words. The same result is coming wile printing at this setting.
What should be right way of designing the layout of the reports and setting the required
preferences/properties, to achieve that.
This is very urgent, pl. reply as soon as possible. We are expecting yours
valuable suggestion.

Just a first point, Reports 3.0 has been desupported, so you may want to look to upgrade.
That said, it sounds to me like you just need character mode output. The first thing that I would do would be to run to file with mode=character set, then send this file directly to the printer to see if you get the same results.
If you do then you should take a look at the documentation on prt files, and your printer manual to make sure that the prt file you're using includes the correct printer escape sequences to set the printer up in the way you require (the right font, etc.) Note that this won't work for bitmapped reports.
Hope this helps,
Danny

Someone tried to jailbreak my iPod and now it is stuck in recovery mode. How do I fix it?

I'm not sure what jail breaking is, however one of my friends insisted on jail breaking my iPod, 4th generation. Now it is stuck in recovery mode and everything has been wiped out. I had backed my iPod up to my computer before everything happened. Thanks for any help!

I suggest that you find a new friend. Based on the experiences of others, the jailbreaking may well be non-reversible. Here are some things to try...
Restore...
Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
If the Restore doesn't work, let the battery drain completely. Then recharge for at least an hour and Restore again.
I really don't want to recommend the next step because it's a real PIA after the fact. However...
Restore as new with NO reload from backup!
IF you choose to try it, here are some cautions. Make absolutely certain that all purchased data, such as apps, music, movies, etc., are present in the iTunes library. Also make absolutely certain that all non-purchased data, such as photos, pdf files, Word files, etc., are present and accessible somewhere on the computer's hard drive. Be aware that you will lose all game data (scores, etc.). Be forewarned that it is tedious recreating all your folders and putting each app where you want it. Finally, be aware that all passwords will be wiped out and all settings will have returned to their default values.

Deskjet 1050 All-in-One J410e can not print in draft mode.

I wanted to print in Draft mode (300x300 dpi). I went to Avanced Options to adjust the resolution, but the drop down menu says "The following is for informational purposes only. Clicking on anything in this list will not change your Print Quality setting."
I was also unable to select Draft mode in the Preferences>Paper/Quality tab. Normal is automatically selected and the other options (Best, Draft, Custom) are grayed out.
What can I do to print in Draft mode (300x300 dpi)?

HT1414 My new ipad mini does not allow me to switch between modes in the built-camera app. It is stuck on video mode. Can anyone advise?

My new ipad mini will not let me switch between modes when using the built in camera app. It is stuck on Video mode. I am unable to take photos, although I could when I first used it. Could this be a fault with the pad or with the new 7.0.4 update? Can anyone help please?

Have you tried to force quit the app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed to see the icon and preview for the camera app. Flip that app up and off the screen to close it then single tap on the home screen preview or single tap the home button to exit the mode.
Try your camera app again and see if you can switch modes.
When you switch modes, you do have to drag the words, not just tap on the video word, if that makes any sense. When you try to go from video to photo, do you try to drag the photo word to the front?

How to print in draft mode with Canon MX432

I am unable to choose draft mode when I print. I can view it, but it is greyed out. My only options are "normal" and "best". I have contacted Canon and they say it is not a Canon issue and rather a setting that needs to be done on my iMac. I am currently running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2. I have tried the print dialog box, settings and the printer web page. Still no solution.
Here is a pic of the dialog box in Safari. I have tried Word, Adobe, etc. They all have draft similarly greyed out.
I would appreciate any suggestions of fixes for this issue.
Thanks!

When you use the Canon driver, the 2 sided printing is set in a different location. There is an entire menu dedicated to it (at least on my mx892). The printer dialog box has a menu selector in the middle of the screen (I think it says "layout" by default). If you click on it, you will see the duplexing options at the bottom. Much more flexibility than the single checkbox available with "airprint". The interface is unusual (at least for me) but you can pre-set up many different configurations (Fast Duplex, Fine Single-sided, B&W, Photo, etc etc.)

IPod Touch stuck in recovery mode. Help!?

My iPod Touch 4th Generation would not update with iTunes. Everything was up to date, so I did a back up and restore, thinking something must be wrong with the iOS. Well, now the iPod is stuck in restore mode. It acts like it wants to restore but it always fails. Help? I have tried many options. I don't need to restore it to the way it was, just to get it working again and I can start from scratch.

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
- Then try on another computer
If you get another error message, remember the wording of the error messages. When it says unknown error, usually an error number is also given.

IPad stuck in docking mode

Hi community, hi all,
i have a problem with my iPad (first ... sry for my bad english ... i'm not a native speaker).
Following issue:
My iPad stuck in Docking Mode. Means i get no access to volume keys or to volume bar in the multi tasking section. The volume bar there is empty. So my iPad doesnt play any sound ...
But when i plug in earphones or when i connect my iPad to a bluetooth speaker sound is playing. And when i plug in the iPad into the docking station and pull it off (plug out... doesnt know the word).... then sound comes out of the build in speakers for about 1-2 seconds ... afterwards iPad return into docking mode and sound is away.
What i have done ....
... i rebooted
... i hard reseted it
... i do a factory reset
Nothing work... but it seems to me like a software failure... dont know.
Next issue is that i have no warranty left for exchange at an apple store...
Any ideas from you?
Thanks for any response.
best regards

I had resolved this issue by myself.
I thought long time about it... and then i got following idea.
I thought ... mybe there is something in the connector which think ipad is already plugged into a docking station.
This helps me....
my idea was .... another product with another behavior to the iPad. So i take my iPad Camera Connection Kit... i stuck it into the connector leave it for several minutes ... and removed it.
My iPad turned back in normal mode ... All god. My internal speaker works again. Wuhuuuuu ... Maybe this solution would help somebody.
