I was just wondering if the 80 GB Zune is the end of the line or if MIcrosoft is actually going to try to compete with the new iPod.
I believe that at the moment Microsoft is working on a handheld gaming system, but thats not to say that the 80 GB Zune IS the end of the line, but one must keep in mind that Microsoft doesn't have to compete in the Handheld media players catagory, because they make enough money selling other products.
how to create a form with a Web browser control in Microsoft Access?
from the insert menu select active x control, and find the entry for microsoft web browser...and draw it on your form.
My instant messenger will not come up and I've recently installed SP2 after great reluctance to do so. I've not found where or how to manipulate the microsoft firewall or even if it can be done.
No it doesnt block it,but you might aswell just download the messenger again all your contacts will appear as soon as you sign in.
yahoo messenger was down yesterday and in some areas it might still be down. I have sp2 installed and messenger works fine here. Be patient the yahoo people are working on it.
here is a WARNING!!! to every1 wishing to use SP2..
DO NOT INSTALL SP2 UNTIL U'VE CLEANED UR SYSTEM FOR VIRUSES, SPYWARES OR ADWARES
got it? the sp2 has some sorta builtin system to remove or block viruses. in a result all the applications or files which r infected by even a small virus will either get blocked or get corrupted bcuz of its trail to repair the file.. so here's what u gotta do.. install a good anti-virus (say norton or mc'afee) update its virus defination files, go to safe mode n scan ur whole system for viruses.. ofcourse some files will bcum un-useful bcuz of the viruses, ur yahoo might get deleted or corrupted but the next time u install it, it wont create any problems again..
Alot of people have been having problems with messenger this whole weekend. Mine didnt work most of Saturday. It came back on sunday morning at 5AM. Also problems with yahoo mail.
My Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Studio is not working well because on a Win32 Console Application, when I type the code
#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;
main()
%26#123;
std::cout %26lt;%26lt; "some text" %26lt;%26lt; std::endl;
%26#125;
it gives me the following error:

I'm trying to learn some C++ but this is making it impossible. Please help me as soon as possible, THANK YOU VERY MUCH!
#include %26lt;iostream%26gt;
int main ()
%26#123;
cout %26lt;%26lt; "Hello World!";
return 0;
%26#125;
You don't have a specified return type. You can use
void main()
but this is nonstandard. Returning an int is actually the standard, like this:
http://xoax.net/comp/cpp/console/Lesson1...
Microsoft does (or used to) support a void return type. The standard does not. So, a void return type is not portable.
I usually use the feature where you can send a conversation to Outlook (to save the conversation). I just accidentally closed a conversation I was having and I really needed some of the information discussed. Does Microsoft save (in temp files, somewhere) closed conversations automatically?
Sorry no such luck on the desktop side. On the server side, if you company has auditing enabled, they can get the data for you from the SQL database. Contact you IT department to find out.
Does anyone know how to make single-fold greeting cards in Microsoft Publisher using Avery card stock? I am trying to print cards with inside messages.
Open a greeting card with 4 pages, and right click on the buttons where it says 1234 right click on the 2ND and third page and delete them, it will give you a single page fold card.
If you're looking for an easy way to send online cards...
http://freecards.deal4-you.com
See ya.
Is it a letter size folded in two? If it is, open a blank document and select letter size landscape. In the Arrange menu, click on layout guide,click on the grid guides tab and select 2 columns. Go back to margins tab and format your margins. In the insert menu click on insert page after current page. Now you have two pages. Page 1 is cover and back of card and page 2 is inside cover and inside back. Now you are good to go. I hope that helped. Good luck!!

It looks like Mircosoft will launch a full scale war on Yahoo,,,,Will there be any survivors? Will P%26S survive the onslaught? What happens if Y!A becomes the prisoner of war?
What will happen to us??????
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080502/ap_o...
I'm even more scared that Yahoo might merge with AOL if this deal falls through. I will run for cover then.
I say "Bring it on!!!!" *loads up machine gun* "I'm going in boys whos got my cover?"
If the worst should happen it's important that we not sink beneath our despair, but battle on. I'm ready!! :)
Start digging the trenches, all that is free will be the first to go.
If Microshaft keeps complaining that all of its competitors are causing its' stuff to crash, I wouldn't want to be owned/merged/do business with them either. Like after the acquisiton, what are all those mysterious error messages going to look like when it recommends installing its' former rivals software? Remember to throw away common sense and update to the latest in poorly written software.
Yes and lets hope the trolls are caught in the middle when the battle begins. Yeah Polls and Surveys will survive if not we can always get Lefty to start a Yahoo Answers type site, with less rules and more action.

I was wondering if Microsoft has proposed for a new gaming console to come out.
Not for atleast 2-4 years, who knows.Well i don't..
hey fallen microsoft will be bringing a games console in about 3 years it has 2 be better than the 360 . oh and guess what! 'what'? its going 2 cost even more HOW GREAT!
PS: XBOX720 HAHAHAHAHAHA LOL U BEEN MDE TO LOOK LIKE A FOOL BOY
not for a long time!
The 360 only just came out! Im sure they will eventually release a new console, but notf or at least 5 or 6 years. (and thats a wild guess)
I heard they are currently working on a console called
Xbox720.
But im not sure, that might have just been a lie I heard!
EDIT: To the idiot underneath my question.
Hence how I said it might be a lie I heard; but im not sure.
And you have been made to look a fool by your avatar xD!
So yeah; don't go flaming on people, other people have said it loads aswell, so...
PS: HAHA YOU HAVE MADE TO LOOK LIKE A HUGE FOOL.

I think you save the first page as template and duplicate it the whole way though, if i were you and i didn't really know how to use it i would copy and paste the slide you have the music on , at least by doing that you will know that music is in the slide for sure . I done presentations in PowerPoint for a number of years and i can tell you for sure i could never really get the hang of it to me it was like a more advanced version of Microsoft word however i wont waffle on with my story of education

I have a 360. got RROD twice but it survived. (One General hardware failure and Hardware failure) Now i wonder.. was it microsoft that has made the 360s faulty or what? plz respond to me :D
not before the falcon xbox's 360s were released!
It's a combination of factors (so ignore those who simply use this as an opportunity to bash MS and the 360 :)).
MS were last to the market last gen with their first console (the XBox came out 18 months after the PS2), and therefore MS didn't want to make the same mistake this gen, hence the 360 was released first.
Also, for the last two generations, Sony completely dominated the market with the Playstation and PS2, where last gen, the XBox and GC were a *very* distant third place in sales and market share. So this gen, both MS and Nintendo wanted to improve their market share and BOTH have succeeded, MS by releasing the 360 early, Nintendo by releasing a different type of console.
And that's the problem. MS took a risk launching the 360 when they did. The final component to be completed, the Graphics processor (Xenos), wasn't available in development kits until less than two months before the console was launched! This means the *final* hardware would not have enough testing time to reveal the problem we see today. As I said, it was a risk, it could have worked perfectly and no-one would be pointing the finger of blame at MS. But there were problems, and the rest is history.
i need to transfer a science report from my PC to my schools Mac by emailing it to myself but will it be able to open it on my school mac? btw they have those newer macs that are the size of a regular flat screen lcd/tft screen(2-3in thick)
and they have microsoft word on the macs too
If the mac has word, you'll be okay. Also if it has pages. If it doesn't have either, try saving it as an .rtf (rich text) file and open in preview. You may have to open the application first and then open the file within the application.
You should be good if the Mac has Word.
yeh if microsoft word is on the mac then your good to go
It does matter. There is a compatibility issue between Word 2007 and Word 2003. As long as the Mac and Windows have some version of Word, it will work. If you are typing on the 2007 edition, and you want to email it to a 2003 or lower edition, do this: Save as%26gt;2003-94 Compatible. Hope it helps.
My initial power brick that came with the 360 went bang, so I got another one off ebay which looks pretty official but has just melted itself after a few months. Are there any shops where I can buy the ac adapter because it doesn't seem like microsoft themselves sell them. Grrrrrr, this 360 is more trouble than it's worth *lobs it out the window*

I had a friend who had this same problem. Stores like gamestop actually do sell third party power bricks for about $100. if you call up XBOX, and you are still under warranty, you can get a replacement from them but you have to send back your old brick.

i keep trying to install and set up microsoft word and it ask for a product i put in the product key it keeps saying it's invalid. i've tries different way each say it's valid. I got the number from my computer.
call microsoft.
That number is for Windows, not Word. It sounds like you have a trial version that is good for 25 uses or 30, 60 or 90 days. You should be able to use it free by pushing past the registration screen (ESC? Just Enter?) for that trial period.
At the end of the trial, and apparently without warning, it will let you read your files, but not edit them or create new ones. You have to purchase Microsoft Office 2007, or at least Word 2007, to do that.
Like being hooked like a fish, isn't it?
If you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here鈥檚 a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word to read Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents.
On the other hand, if you鈥檙e interested in buying Word, Check out this URL, especially the second group of listings.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/produc...
Note that the higher of the two prices quoted is for a full version of that program and the lower, for upgrades from existing software. Read the list of upgrade-qualifying software carefully: MS Works is often one, and may have come on your machine.
Good luck.
Did you buy this copy of Word through a normal retailer or through an eBay auction???
Does Microsoft Office 2007 Standard UPGRADE come in an open license volume product, or only OEM and retail boxes?
Marc G. I'm not sure where you got your info but you're 100% wrong.
Microsoft Office 2003-2007 has ALWAYS been available in volume licensing, ie, not retail box, not OEM, but an actual licensing program where you buy the media and the licenses.
It's required that you buy a minimum of 5 licenses to begin with, then for the next 2 years you can add 1 or more licenses at a time, at a discounted rate, for the duration of the 2 year period. There's a significant discount for open volume licensing but you have to meet certain requirements to qualify.
This is what businesses do that have hundreds of computers. Do you think they buy a boxed product or OEM version for each computer?
Here's just one example from CDW http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default...
To answer Yviebee's question, no it is not possible to get upgrades open license. The cheapest thing you can do is get an OEM upgrade.
Sorry to be rough on you, but you shouldn't post so confidently if you have no idea what you are talking about.
All versions of Office 2007 are available in open licensing from standard to small business to professional and enterprise

if i send microsoft my xbox 360 with seal intact. will they open up my 360 to try to repair it or will they automatically just give me another unit?
-it has the 3 red lights
They'll try and repair it, otherwise they will replace it. Usually with a reconditioned unit.
If they have a hugh backlog of fixes, they will send a reconditioned unit and repair your one when they are able and have time. It will then be used as a reconditioned unit for someone else. On the very rare occasion, they have been known to return new units. Don't hold your breath on this though.
mine had the 3 lights of death and they just sentme a brand new one but u need to keep your hard drive cause they wont send it back
I have recently baught a new Microsoft Mouse "IntelliMouse 4.0 Explorer. With Vista as a operating system in my computer. I don't know why but when I scroll Itunes doesn't pickup the scroll movement properly; it still works but I have to spin my wheel in order to do that. However, for all of my other programs it works perfectly fine.
Could it be that Itunes doesn't recognize the "Smooth scrolling" on my mouse.
I will be very thank full if anyone can help me out
You may need to (re) install the intellitouch software. You can download the newest version from Microsoft's website.

I wont move there, I love the people of the ramadan section too much...
That is such a copy. The layout looks pretty similar to Yahoo! Answers and the site even uses some of the exact phrases that Y!A does! Even though Microsoft is good at stealing ideas, but Microsoft Live QnA will never replace Yahoo! Answers.
Wasn't Microsoft going to buy out Yahoo! anyway? Or did that never happen?
not at all yahoo is far ahead of that stupid thing
it may well do if microsoft buy out yahoo
if this gets deleted then i guess we have a back up.
but do they have sections?

The log in or sign in is broken so I can imagine they will bombard the thing soon enough.
Ook.. I have an important document in word at the moment, My problem is I can't copy items within the program. When I have clipboard open and I highlight, copy, It will not go into the clipboard. If I copy something from an internet page, it will show up on the clipboard. If I cut something within word it will delete but not copy. It is a Microsoft Office word 2007 on Windows vista.
I can't save the document either, I press the ctrl + s, the save as, the save button, F12... No popup window.. Help!
So essentially all the ways to save a file's contents are being blocked. Hate to say it, but that sound like it was done on purpose, by either Microsoft or someone else.
If you're also getting a message relating to the file being locked, you probably have a trial version of Word (Office) that has just expired. If you have files that are locked up in the new Word 2007 file format (.docx), here鈥檚 a possibility for salvaging them. Microsoft offers a free Compatibility pack that allows earlier versions of Word to read Word 2007 files. If you have access to an earlier version, this can at least give you back your documents.

Every website I go to about the format wars basically says, Blu-Ray pwned HD DVD. So how does this affect Microsoft. Are they going to make Blu-Ray electronics?
Yes HD-DVD is doomed as reports are Toshiba is finally giving up.
This doesn't mean Microsoft's format failed. Microsoft did not make HD-DVD, Toshiba did. Microsoft merely included the technology in one of their products.
Since that product will eventually become a novelty item, execs at Microsoft are probably secretly relieved that they sold hd-dvd as an add-on rather than a standard, internal feature. But that relief will be tempered by the dread of knowing that now they have nothing but 9gb dvd to use for games, compared to the standard 25gb blu-ray every ps3 game is on. Now that hd-dvd is dying, the xbox is in real trouble.
It is not primarily a question of whether Microsoft is going to start using Blu-Ray, it is a question of whether Sony will ever allow them to, and if so, how much will Microsoft have to pay for it. It will be a lot, no doubt about that, if it ever happens. And I don't see any reason for Sony to allow it, or any legal reason why they should have to. The victory of Blu-Ray was the linchpin of the ps3's market strategy, and Sony will play it for all it's worth. There's a lot of lost money to be remade.

There is no safe way to do this. If you try to use it on a different machine from the one it was originally loaded to, the activation key will be cancelled, making the new copy unusable, and the actual disk unusable even for recovery.
my computer..
local disk (C)..
Program Files..
Microsoft Office (or whatever you downloaded it as)..
Office..
Then the install file.. dunno wot it is called sorry :(..
This ways illegal i fink.. you need to find a crack for it
once you have the file copy and paste to your laptop.. install the file and it should work

I've had other people send me test emails and I've tried emailing myself from a yahoo email address, but the Microsoft Outlook email address won't show any new emails. I've also tried deleting the majority of the messages from my sent and deleted folders, but nothing has changed....
ANY help would be greatly appreciated.
In the tools menu, select email accounts and in the new screen, click view or change existing accounts, in next screen, select your account. In the email account screen, click test account settings. you don't get a test mail, check and try to change the pop3 and
SMTP address. Goto Internet Supplier's site to get what addresses should go in here. One should be able to get the mail again.
Are you able to send out any e-mails. Are you getting any error messages. If you can't locate the cause, give your iSP a call and ask for their assistance.
try to set the pop3 server right...
check on the server
just check your mail setting or your mail's maximum capacity if is is over due you might not receive any mail and once check your pc for spy ware and virus may be there is some spy ware so u don't receive any e-mail in your mail box
I just got my PC reformatted from a PC business. I'm using the Microsoft Automatic Updates to Upgrade and download the Serrvice Pack 2. It Get's about 1/2 way done and basically stops downloading, or downloads EXTREMELY slow. My PC is brand new, no spyware...Anybody can help me out??
If it's peer-to-peer download you could have latched onto a slow or no peer.
It will take as long as it takes. I usally start that sort of download before I go to bed and let it have at it overnight.
download it manually off a website with a download manager.
windows update tend to not use all your bandwidth and sometime it will only download if you connection is idle.
try to get windows xp - pack 2 CD and download it.downloading from Microsoft is always problematic.you may have to switch off automatic downloads.though they created it,you don't have to believe Microsoft,they have become just ......... and try to thrive on our mistakes.i would even suggest you to do this if you get a pirated copy.
That happened to me before. The issue was with my harddrive, it continued to have spotty memory, and loose bits of data. Everything was great after I got it replaced, and the O.S. installed cleanly.
( Problem comes from missing bits of your O.S. )
OR
The website (microsoft) is unreliable and spotty themselves. But I know that isn't the case, they run on a pretty big CDN.

i open a .jpg image with microsoft office picture manager but its only shows 'other folder exist. the selected locations do not contain pictures to preview. Other folder or files exist but cannot be previewed.' how to solve it?
1. Check the format of the picture file and make sure that it's supported. (Is it a JPEG, GIF, TIFF, PCX, BMP, etc.)
2. Try to get another copy of the picture file. Maybe the data is corrupt.
3. Maybe office picture manager has been impacted by a virus or other malware. You could try to reinstall that program, or possibly look for a different graphics program.
4. If it is broken beyond all recognition, try to reinstall windows... that will fix anything (unless your hard drive has bad sectors or you have some other hardware issue).
I recently just got the microsoft office small business software and i wanted to know is there a limitation on how many different computers i can install it on?
i know when i bought my microsoft you could use the same license on three different computers. so yours might be the same.
One. Read the end user license agreement. If you install it on other systems it won't activate.
Normally, just 1. Check the licence you purchased.
Please vote for my survey. Only put Apple or Microsoft as your answer, not Linux or anything else, THANKS!!!!!!

After you enter the formula in the cell, you should be able to move your cursor to the bottom right of that cell, and click and drag. This will copy the formula along, and also try to dynamically adjust your formula's in case variable cells change.
Visit http://www.thetechjuice.com for more technology news, tips, tricks, and how-to's.
higlight the cels you want to have the formulas in and then type your formula in at the top formula bar...only do the cells you want though!!
in the cell you want the answer type equal sign (=) then the cells you want to addd subtract or what ever.
Example:
=A2+B2+C3+D5
then just click out if the box and it preforms the formula
There has always been such a difference in quality and user-friendliness between MSN and Yahoo, (and we know MSN hates Yahoo for it), and it appears Microsoft is into eavesdropping and New World Order fascism. Don't you think it will mean the end of Yahoo as we've known it, and be yet another step down into the pit of darkness and tyranny our country has been falling into?
There are going to be even more violations and deletions of accounts with Microsoft controling.
If you dare say a single thing not in line with Microsoft dogma, POOF, you'll be gone.
boycott microsoft. If that happens I'm quitting Yahoo! for Google.

Try Open Office, a free alternative to Microsoft Office and is completely compatible with Office programs.
OpenOffice.org is a multiplatform and multilingual office suite and an open-source project. Compatible with all other major office suites, the product is free to download, use, and distribute.
Yes its called open office. I believe the site is www.openoffice.org
I am using Microsoft Outlook for my Business email and for some reason there is an error saying I cannot connect to the pop server. When I click send and receive it only goes part of the way through it. This means I have email in my out box i really need to send and also can't get any incoming mail..I really hope someone can get me sorted cos I so so rely on this. Thanks
Check that you have the correct SMTP address. This is for outgoing emails and is not the same as the POP3 address for incoming emails. Check with your email provider / internet provider for the correct addresses.

Can i use Microsoft Project professional to work as a centralised system so that people from various locations can see their project. Can i put it on the server?
If you just want to use a desktop product, then you don't need to buy MS Project Professional. You really only need that if you going to buy MS Project Server as well. Otherwise you can just get MS Project Standard.
You can certainly use MS Project Standard to achieve some, if not all, of what you need. MS Project Server would definitely achieve what you need, but its a significant step up in terms of cost and complexity.
Depending on the specifics of what you are trying to show, yes. It sounds like you need some professional advice on the exact task you are trying to accomplish. Email me if you like, I have quite a bit of project managment software experience.

need microsoft windows media center software, from which site i can get it for free. anybody knows please tell me the site.
http://www.softwarepatch.com
they have everything
Microsoft Media center software comes with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition. It doesn't run on every PC. It is peripheral specific.
You can try using this OS. Try any Torrent sites or try using Bearshare or Limewire for free download.
I spend more time on security patches and working around their mess ups than I do accomplishing what I want to. How did they ever become the dominant software vendor? If I thought I could be that incompetent and get rich I would jump at the chance. I can't think of any other company in any other industry that could get away with such incompetance. Could you imagine buying a tv, oven, car, radio, airplane, toaster (ok my toaster isn't the best) that only worked correctly sometimes? The companies producing those products would loose all their customers and go out of business. How is it that Microsoft is able to keep making billions of dollars....hold a near monoply with their operating system and office products and still not be able to get it right? It is so frustrating....
It's easy... Most people are ignorant pricks, and Microsoft used this fact to their advantage, I salute them!!
Daytripper, i take it you a programmer? and i assume you have written not only an operting system, but one thatll work one almost any computer in the whole entire world? ill answer the question, NO you ve written nothing, so you dont know how complex it is.
in microsoft word, tab function on outline to switch levels, eg. from A) to 1)
i want to, while outlining go from level to level ( A) to 1) ) by pressing tab after hitting enter to go to next line,
remote assistance on msn messanger avail; text instrucs accptble :)
thanks =]=]=]=]
First of all do View/Outline
Then do Format/Bullets and Numbering... then select the tab for Outline Numbered and choose the lower right panel that shows letters and numbers. Then it will behave as you want.
The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\WebApplication3\XYZ.... It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. ........plz help to solve this problem
Close the other application or restart and try again.
You should be asking this question at the Microsoft website help option not on Yahoo! Questions and Answers.
if i have a microsoft office for windows, can i install it on a mac?
Hi!
It may be possible! But this is just a workaround, and you may experience information loss. Now, there is only a way that I know of: use a PC simulator for Mac OS X, install the OS for that virtual PC namely a version of Microsoft Windows and then you may install a version of Microsoft Office on that virtual, emulated PC.
However, there are some issues!
For instance, you have to have loads of RAM (Random Access Memory) and enough free disk space in order to run the virtual machine. Keep in mind the, under emulator, running Microsoft Windows XP, 2003 or Vista under Mac requires that you have a quite powerful Mac PC. I recommend that you use Microsoft Windows 98 and 128 MB RAM with a 2GB HDD on the virual machine. If you know how to do it, then allow a partition on your Mac to be formatted with FAT 32 filesystem, so that both machines (the real one and the virtual, emulated one) can access that drive, this way you can share documents between these OSs. accessing an external partition (that is not included in the emulator) only depends on the emulator itself. Another idea is to use an external memory card (such as flash, if the emulator allows the usage of the USB port) to share such documents. If that doesn't work, than you may use an external server to store those files on: upload then form within Win 98 and download them from within Mac).
I hope I was helpful!
Good luck!
yes, but you need a seperate program. It's called parallels.
no u cant they are diffrent but i have something that can work on mac
vote me for the best
NO, it couldn't possible
Your retarded... Office.. for WINDOWS will not install on somthing that is not WINDOWS...IGNORE ME!!!!!!
no it actually wont because the manufacturer os Mac is Apple and the manufacturer of microsoft office is microsoft itself. Windows is made by microsoft and so ms office will only work on windows.
I have a lot of problems with speed and pop-ups and I have ran scans and found spyware. I tried to use the Microsoft drive cleaner and it wouldn't even work and I am unable to reach support/help.
I have ADSL and today I found IE 7 and Yahoo Mail to be very slow today. No problems ever in ten plus years with pop-ups.
Required by law to keep my pc 100% clean. The cause must be that the servers are overloaded.
In your case it is possible that you may have a virus or spyware that is not found. Here is a list of what I have used for the past ten years or so.
Here are program I use that will give you 100% protection. Ofcourse you must also have all your critical updates installed from Microsoft.
I use the free zone alarm firewall for many years. Excellent with free updates and all new versions free. Protects you from rouge incoming packets and keeping your private data from leaving your pc.
http://www.zonealarm.com Download their free home for personal use.
Antivirus program I use. You only pay a one time fee of $29.99. and you get all updates and all new versions for life.
Read the webpage and if you like what you read this is the antivirus of choce I have used for over ten years and never one virus.
By culture the Chinese are very secret just about everything and that includes their software.
I am thinking about purchasing a 30GB microsoft zune. Is it a good mp3, and how does it match up to the creative zen and ipod 30GB video in terms of durability, ease of mastery, and quality?
My friend has one and she seems to like it but it is HUGE. Bigger than a Sidekick phone or maybe around that size but too big for an mp3 player unless you won't be carrying it around a lot. Just from looking at it I wouldn't want one that big but I have no knowledge on how well they work.
I've got one and it works fine. The screen is really nice. The only problem with it though is that the software for it sucks and is not user friendly. But once you get it figured out, you're golden.
I just read this in Yahoo news, that Microsoft is starting a promotion for students so they can get Office Utimate. Anyone try it yet??
http://news.yahoo.com/s/zd/215074;_ylt=A...
http://www.theultimatesteal.com/home.asp
Microsoft has done student editions of their software for years. This is nothing new, they just announced it for the latest version is all.
If you're not in college/university, check with your school counselor. Otherwise hit the student bookstore.
You need a .edu e-mail address to participate.
Microsoft will have an incentive program by offering up free downloads of songs you already purchased from iTunes if you purchase their player, http://tinyurl.com/lpuuv
I think they can. The features are there but what it will need is a flashy name and some good marketing. I mean ipod is a household name.
As for the name on the site MVNO, that sounds a lot like one of the older Creative mp3 players (Muvo, i think it was).
The Ipod is very popular but it's not the best there is. I have always felt that Creative's mp3's players are much better than the Ipod's, sadly the best products don't always become the most popular ones. From the point of services available the Ipod is definitly in a much better position.
The only problem microsft will have is trying to convince people why theres is better than anyother and convincing people they actually need one. Most people I know use thier mp3 players for a while and then it becomes a white elephant, or gets given to some kid. Kids seem to use them more.
They will have to make it a lot more reliable and safe to use than Windows
unlikely, two issues come to mind:
1. market saturation
2. lack of style of the part of MS
I make Microsoft excel sheets for others to use at the office, but some times people erase the formulas by mistake, how can i protect just some epecific cells from been modify, not the whole work sheet, cuz there is some info that need to be put in from others to work on regular basis.
Select the cells that you want people to be able to change. Go to Format, Cells. Select the security tab. Uncheck the locked box. Protect the workbook.
Now the unlocked cells can be changed and all other cells will be protected.
open a new blank word document and get a message that reads:
this installation of microsoft mac x exceeds the number of instalations permitted.
How to fix this. Can i undo automatic updates that might have caused this?
There is a Security Update to fix that, or else you can reinstall Office X with a different key.
You're trying to run too many instances of the app on your local network.
Pay for more licenses or switch to NeoOffice (it's free and does EVERYTHING M$ Office does).
i have a mac computer and up until tonight my microsoft has been working just fine
now i need it really bad to work on a school assignment and when i click on the button in the dock it bounces up and down a couple times then just stops and doesnt load
how can i get it too open
pleeease help, 1st person to give me an answer that WORKS gets 10 pointssss
To the other idiots who attempted to answer this question: She means Microsoft office.
If you really need to work on something, go to http://www.openoffice.org/ and download openoffice for Mac. Install it. That will open, edit, save (in Microsoft format do file-export Microsoft), and print the documents you need. That is a temporary fix. If you really want to fix Microsoft Office, I'll need more information about the problem.
What do mean Microsoft ; (On a Mac)?????
You might be confusing it with windows please revise your question.
Well you bought a MAC...
Thats apple not Microsoft.
Could you please define what you mean by Microsoft? That will help us answer your question.
I heard Peter Moore talking about the end of BC for XBOX games on the XBOX 360. Is this true? I thought Microsoft promised full BC for their XBOX library. What the #$%@!!!!!??????
Don't keep your hopes up. I agree with Carl and Timmy. It cost too much to satisfy a few customers. If for example Halo 2 wasn't backwards comp. Microsoft would of lost customers thinking about purschasing the system. I wouldnt of bought the 360 if i wasnt able to play halo2. The best thing you can do is just keep the old xbox.
Only on certain titles.
Peter Moore said he was sorry for saying that and they did not stop working on BC.
Microsoft seems to think that no matter how many new systems they introduce, people will still keep buying. BC isn't their problem. Look at how poorly they managed the conversion of systems from W98 to W2K.
Microsoft thinks that they have us all on a leash.
Yet , I keep buying their products...am I dumb, or what?
there is no money in making all the games backwards compatible
1st it costs too much to put a team on each game
2nd they would rather have you buy new games for the 360 (I would have to agree with the HD!)
Basically, my computer desperately needs to be reformatted. Its a Sony Vaio, a few years old. I have no idea where the original XP disc is, but i have the serial number on the sticker that came with it which is attached to the bottom.
Unfortunately, to make matters worse, the CD-ROM functionality of the drive is no more, and it will only read DVDs, so even if I had the CD, it wouldn't do me any good.
So basically I'd like to know if microsoft sends out replacement copies of XP to registered users, and if so how much they would charge, and if it would be possible to request it on DVD.
Any help or any options I haven't thought of would really be appreciated! As far as I know I can't boot from USB, because this laptop is not that new.
Thanks!
I have never used Microsoft's replacement program, but I listed their link below. However, I am sure that XP installation disks do not come in a DVD-Rom version. Anyway, the CD should load from your DVD drive (as long as you have it selected as the boot drive).
Additionally, you could try the TechMedia company (under links). They sell replacement recovery disk sets, with the full operating system and all the original drivers for just about any PC. And, they are very reasonable.
Good luck!
I was to do a sign that say Merry Cristmas but I don't know how to flip the page. I use Microsoft Word 2007. I also use windows vista so please help!
Ahh, I have Word 2007. Very confusing.
I have just checked for you on my Word, and you Click 'Page Layout' as one of the tabs at the top, then Orientation (a picture of two pages, one landscape, one not), then select Landscape.
Hope this helps xx
In Microsoft Excel 2003,when i try to put the digit 3.68,it changes to 24800 or any other number.What should i do?Done everything........
I think it may be reading it as a date 3.68 = March 1968, which is about 24800 days since 1st January 1900.
No idea why though. Try setting the number format in the cell to Number or General
Make sure the cell formatting specifies number and two or more digits and there is no formula changing that value.
Its a format Issue.
I tried running some format changes to see if I could replicate the change from 3.68 to 24800 , but nothing.
As near as I can figure a formula is being applied to that cell.
Just format it to what you want, or use formula painter to change the format from another cell to fix the problem cell
I can't stand Word or Excell. They are way too complicated and do too much for me. Usually, all I want to do is type a document. I don't want it to auto-anything! I'm also much faster typing a word than having it suggest words I've already typed earlier and pressing enter (or hitting backspace because it inputed a word instead of letting me go to the next line when I hit enter)!
I know I can turn the features off, but why do they start on? Shouldn't I choose the features I want to use before the program uses them?
I'm just curious if there are others out there who can't stand Microsoft products.
The only thing that annoys me about Word is that little paperclip "helper" that looks like it's making lovey-eyes at you.
I realize it's supposed to be a reminder of "Hey I'm here... you stopped typing and look like you could use some help" but seriously, it looks like it's trying to come on to the person on the other side of the computer!
Gives me the creeps as much as the Burger King guy...
You can turn that automatic stuff off, and I have it turned off on my PC because of the very reason you're complaining about. I find that all these applications have pieces that drive me crazy, but fortunately those features are the ones you can usually configure.
sorry! I don't have much knowledge about computer!
I think all the Microsoft Office products are wonderful, I'm in college and they are really helpful. I don't think I would be able to get 1/2 my work done if it wasn't for Microsoft.
Your problem is not Microsoft products.
I need to know is there any testing certification which is from Microsoft corp?
Yes there are Microsoft certification tests given at selective sites especially your business schools or vocational technical schools in your area.
I think I accidentally deleted the microsoft XP with front page. Now I have ZERO programs and cant open the files I saved already. No word, No excel HELP how do I get it back?
try a system resore, which can be found by: clicking the start menu, highlight programs, highlight accessories, go down to system tools, and you'll see system restore. Simply restore it to a date where you know you had it installed. hope that helps! =)
Reinstall, you will need the CD with Office on to do this.
first, do not panic. Then do a search on your cornputer. If progs not their U may have to reinstall them.? Not likely event for anyone to accidentally remove an entire program. One has to know how to do that. If desktop icon was removed, the program is still loaded in the cornputer. Good luck.
Do you have any desktop icons at all?
I want to buy a membership for the ORIGINAL Xbox, but my friend told me that Microsoft doesn't sell membership for it anymore.
yea they should just call your internet provider and talk to them about it and you should still be able to buy it.
The original Xbox庐 and Xbox Live庐 introduced the concept of premium content to Xbox Live subscribers, but there was always a catch鈥攏o credit card, no premiums.
The folks behind Xbox 360鈩?and the new Xbox Live have a different idea: Microsoft庐 Points, the new coin of the Xbox Live Marketplace realm. Microsoft Points is a new universal system that works across international borders and is even available if you don't have a credit card. Here's how they work.
How Do I Get Points?
Microsoft Points let everyone in on the Xbox Live Marketplace action. First, though, you need to get some. Purchasing Points is like putting money into a special account that you can use on Xbox Live Marketplace. You can buy them online from the Marketplace itself by using your credit card, but if you don't have a credit card, no worries. You can also pick up gift cards at hundreds of participating retail locations and use the number on that card to buy your Points.
You can also get Points as part of the Xbox Live Gold Pack, available at participating retailers. Points will also be awarded to users for various promotions in the future. It's a simple thing, but it opens up all of the amazing premium content on Xbox Live to a whole new community of gamers.

Sounds like you have a pirated copy. No serial you are out of luck.
You can always try your luck this way: do a Google search for warez... you will lprobably find a key, but make sure you have an up-to-date anti-virus program running.

Just modify it to periodically log the coordinate values to a database or log file. From there, you can simply create an applicaiton or web page that will query the database and return the coordinates.
Does Microsoft Wins Xp Home Edition Service Pack Two cause alot of probs?what probs?tell me!thx...10 pts will b awareded
Here's what Microsoft have to say about trheir SP2.
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=884130
Here's what others are saying and a work around on some of the problems with SP2.
http://mywebpages.comcast.net/SupportCD/...
http://www.winsupersite.com/reviews/wind...
http://techrepublic.com.com/5100-1035_11...
YES. That is why many gamers have "dumped" it and gone back to 98SE. This is REALLY a problem if you have an Intell CPU. An AMD helps due the way it handles "floating point math". If you are only Web browsing rather than Internet surfing (alt's, bbs's, ftp's, news nets and use groups) then it isn't all that bad. Off line it just sucks.
Great big after thought cause I don't mean to mislead you. No on SP2 as re above, but again a big fat YES on XPhome as an operating system. MS knows it. That is why they will scrap it same as ME soon as they get LONGHORN , now Vista to work. Should be out this fall. The pro ver. is out now.
Service packs don't cause problems, they fix'em. In this case service pack 2 is installed for better security.
The first time that I tried to obtain SP-2, I tried downloading from Microsoft and it caused my computer to freeze or lock up. I was able to get it restarted and removed it from the computer via the control panel. Then I requested a disk from Microsoft for SP-2 and have found no problems with installation or using my machine since then. My recommendation is to get the disk from M/S and follow their instructions on installation and you should not have a problem.
It has some hardware compatibility problem,
but it is very rare. I installed SP2 on my desktop and laptop works just fine.
thanks
Sandip
It has alot of security patches. Overall improvement.
Microsoft service pack 2 does wine its downloaded on to your computer but if u buy the up grade CD labeled Microsoft windows home edition with service pack 2 and reinstall the computer with the CD it works that's how i upgrade all my computers and my Friends and family's
I heard that Microsoft developers hide data in the excel spread sheet. Is that true, and if so how can you find it?
They're called easter eggs:
http://www.eeggs.com/tree/279.html
In Microsoft Excel, what DATABASE FUNCTION used to find many largest or smallest numbers in a very HUGE column? (It means that you cannot use single function like MIN, MAX, LARGE, SMALL).
In other words, with one function, it will list many values (not only one)
Sorry Vinh, there is no single-cell function that returns multiple values into a single cell. However, check your built-in help for database functions and you will see DMAX returns a single value from a database if it is a named range.
Hope this helps,
Kind Regards,
QwertyKPH @ Yahoo
Excel function are working to get only one value in one cell
Means you can not return more than one value from one formula in one cell
But you can create one function in a cell, copy it to another cell and those two cells will bring two values but from one function
This is what Excel all about, and also the most of programming languages
Instead you can use DGET to do waht you want

when i got microsoft vista, i couldn't enable the windows aero feature. it was the replacement for the alt-tab feature sub-ed with win+tab feature. when i press win and tab nothing happens how do i get the windows to cascade across (or on top of each other) alright.
thanks
Vista Home Basic does not have Aero. You need Vista Home Premium or Vista Ultimate to get the Aero feature.
Compare Features of Vista versions
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/product...
the only reason why your aero feature doesnt work could be, you have poor video graphics card or your graphics card does not support that feature

In microsoft excel, is it possible to change the color of the font on the little tabs. I have multiple sheets all named by numbers, is it possible to change the color of the font of the numbers??
possibly.. !!!!
yes. of course
Top right, Tool Bar Options.You should see a letter "A" with a color.
Place the cursor on the cell/s and click on the V to select the color.
Yes, highlight all the cells whose color you want to change. Then up top choose format, then cells, then font and in the middle is the color choices.
yes you can. at the far left of the excel toolbar, there should be %26gt;%26gt;. click that and you'll get a small drop down. the A with the red line changed the font color.
Ya sure , you can
it is. just click the tab for font color. =)
I've not seen the ability to change the font color on the worksheet tabs.
Did no one actually read your question?
Yes. Just right click on the little tab, itself, and you'll be able to do it. On the right click menu it will say "tab color." Select that and choose your color.
I have followed all the instructions to set up my pop3 email in Microsoft Outlook. Even the SSL instructions are correct.

If you are using yahoo email beta you need to upgrade to yahoo mail plus to get the full pop service
http://billing.mail.yahoo.com/bm/Upgrade...
You can use Yahoo! Mail Plus to send messages from an external email address, even if you don't receive or "pop" messages from that account. This means that you can configure Yahoo! Mail Plus to send all your email from one place and choose the address you use to send each message. (Of course, being able to send messages from an external email address is especially useful if you also check external (POP) mail and want to reply to emails that were sent to you at a different email address
Or try this download if you are using original yahoo mail

When is Microsoft going to release a new Xbox product?
Generally speaking, from an R%26D (research and development) standpoint, there's always something new in the works. And when something is as far off as 2 1/2 to 3 1/2 years, (at least in the game industry), the company won't say a word about it. So nobody except Microsoft knows for sure, and even then they're only beginning to make projections.
The Xbox 360 initially launched on November 22, 2005. Historically speaking, a game console lasts about five years before it is replaced with a new model. That would suggest a new Xbox may come out around November 2010... slightly less than 3 1/2 years from now. However, Microsoft has a shorter track record, having released the original Xbox in November 2001. That's only a four-year gap, and if they match that again, the next Xbox could launch as soon as November 2009... slightly less than 2 1/2 years from now.
At the opposite end of the spectrum is the fact that high-end graphics are reaching a saturation point, and it's becoming harder to tell the difference between generations. Even though there's a big difference between Xbox 360 and say, Wii, that difference is inarguably minute compared to the generational leaps we saw in earlier consoles. So it is possible, even if not all that likely, that future new console releases may take longer to roll out.
What actually happens when I don't install any updates from Microsoft?
actualy it wont happen nothing,just use security software like av and firewall and no problem actually the xp sp2 doesn't has not even the smallest problem so it wouldn't be a good idea to install some uptades as I heard that some of them "called security uptades"block the 3rd party programs......
nothing really
Your machine will be vulnerable to those attacks identified by Microsoft and you just have to pray no one will exploit those security holes.
://Well I have a paper that is due tommorow%26I want to try typeing it useing Microsoft Word but the problem is that I don't have it in my coumputer%26 I wanted to see if I can download with a free trial , but I dont want to mess up my coumputer after the 60 day trial so what should I do? ;[
You can download a free trial of MS Office 2007. It will not have all functions, but many. At the end of the trial period, either you buy, or it will not work.
You can consider Open Office, a freebie. I have read many good things about it, but if you every have to open it on another computer, you may have to convert it to Word or whatever software the other PC uses.
Here is a free, online converter:
www.media-convert.com
download Open Office at: http://www.openoffice.org/index.html
Open Office tutorial at: http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/
Download Open Office: it's totally free and works almost exactly like MS Office.

can i give a mcse exam from home...if yes then on what site...
what are the benifits of mcse and do i still need a 4 yr course in computers to get a job in microsoft beside a mcse...
can a mcse get me a job....
First off, your grammar is horrendous, and I can't imagine that you would even be able to pass a test.
That being said, no, Microsoft does not offer these on line...everyone and anyone could take and pass the test, thereby devaluing it.
The benefits? Having an MCSE proves that you know your shtt.
You DON'T need a four year course, and an MCSE alone will not get you a job.
Most employers are looking for someone with verifiable experience, not just a piece of paper.
does this question need an answer?
you need to go to a Microsoft Certified testing center.
i got my MCSE and MCSA in under 2 years and have not had 1 problem finding work. every business needs a tech. i did most of my learning inline and went at my own pace. there are several paths you can go with regards to certification on what O/S and there are several different exams to take.
good luck enjoy
I don't know if you can take the tests online. You can register for them there, I believe. Just look at the Microsoft website for more info on how to sign up.
As for when it comes to jobs.. it sort of like a thing you can use to brag about on your resume if it needs some sprucing up, but it doesn't really do anyhting other than that. You need a college education to get a good job.
My microsoft office symbol has been replaced with a big ugly symbol (a page with a window on it, very old fasioned) it still works and I wouldn't mind but i've got vista and it's like a big spot on a beutiful face!
You`ve probably hit the classic view option some where on the right hand side.If not,go to your last save point and try to find it there by using back up option.Also check your control panel first and see if that's set to classic view.
Ah well, you should have paid your taxes, pay them and I'll give the symbol back, x
On my pc I run off of windows xp which included Microsoft works, I just purchased a laptop which also inlcludes Microsoft works, but it does not have the photo editor loaded into it. I was expecting the program would have the same components. Is there a way to import or download the photo editor into my current Microsoft works? I checked the Microsoft website but had trouble finding any answers.
photo editor is part of msworks 2004

All those 360 failures and long service times must be annoying. If Microsoft offered you a full refund, or a partial refund for your system only. Would you take the refund?
No refund on the games or accessories
If it was a full refund, sure. Then I'd go and buy one of the newer 360s that will include HDMI, as well as newer hardware that will hopefully fix the overheating problems for good.
Yes, I can understand the rationale behind Microsoft fixing broken 360s and shipping those back to customers, instead of just grabbing brand new units, but that doesn't make the 2-3 week wait any shorter now, does it? ;-)
naaah, I have too much invested in games and peripherals at this point.
They COULD give me a credit toward a new system, tho! ;)
no way
too true I would
then buy another
I have 2 ideas I want to contact them with and I'm beginning the process of getting patents on both of them. How can I contact Microsoft directly to see if they like the ideas? Thanks in advance.
That sounds interesting!
I'm not exactly sure Microsoft welcomes or accepts product development suggestions from people other than their own employees, but there's no harm in trying.
Go to this link:
http://support.microsoft.com/contactus/?...
Your enquiry is most appropriate under Product Help and Support.
Click the link that reads: 'Participate in online technical chats with Microsoft technology experts.'
They will direct you to the actual guy who will listen to your proposal.
Good luck!
Palm recently announced a working relationship with Microsoft. Does that mean that Palm OS will phase out? Obviously Palm claims that is not the case, but does it make sense to focus on two operating systems?
Simply no. It's just like Mac OS X and Windows, there is plenty of room in the market for 2 or more handheld operating systems. There was rumour of the decline of Palm as they are bringing out a windows based treo but this is not as a replacement but an alternative to give consumers more choice. Palm recently renewed it's licence contract for the OS until 2010 so it's safe at least till then.
Yes, it will. I have a Palm Zire 72 that I'm delighted with -- it has everything I want including a camera and MP3 player. But I can see that it's lacking many features of a real operating system. For example, font support is weak -- each program has its own fonts -- and it won't synch with Windows Media Player (or iTunes for that matter).
It's true that the average user doesn't care about font support, but eventually weaknesses in the underlying operating system will affect the functions that users care about, and that will be the beginning of the end for the Palm OS.
Microsoft has a tremendous ability to use differences in functionality to hammer competitors. For example, one effect of the PlaysForSure program (which has both a technical and a marketing component) is to drain market share away from non-compliant MP3 players like Palm PDAs.
i have microsoft works Not office..so im trying to set up the outlook express acct. and its fine until it asks for my email server..i typed in hotmail.com but it didnt work..how do i know what my ISP and all that stuff is? please explain it in general terms seeing as i am not very computer savvy!! i just want to try and set up the account.
Many times Outlook Express will not work getting internet e-mails - like Yahoo unless you subscribe to their preferred accounts. If hotmail allows this, go to the hotmail site under mail options and it should give you what their server name is.... It's not just hotmail.com..... there will be a 'pop-server' type thing you plug into that in Outlook Express. First make sure it's not a 'paid' thing from hotmail. Outlook Express usually will work fine for your "PROVIDER" (the people you pay for your internet service) e-mail, like Roadrunner....
Call your service provider's support phone line. They can tell you all the things to put in when setting up Outlook Express. That's what they're there for.
I want to know whether Microsoft Office 2007 and Windows Vista can be copied or not. Please tell me if it gets copied will it have all the features as the original one?
Not legally. Microsoft, for some reason, wants to make money selling them, and frowns on copying them. They call it piracy, and can sue you if they catch you doing it.
Beside that, I would not use any third-party site that claims to have free copies: They might just be slipping you a few unwanted extras that will take over your machine for their purposes.
Copying is the simple part, the difficult part is to activate them, there are illegal copies on the internet where you can use without activation, but very soon, Microsoft will start to block these, and you may end up without options but to pay a full amount.
Yes they are but i think doing that is against the law. If you do you need to know the product key or it is usless. Whatever you copy will have the same features as the real version. It all depends which version you copy. Again doing that is against the law and you can fined.
Of course they are able to be copied. I got some copies off of the internet just yesterday!
What do you mean copied are you trying to move it to another computer if so, all you need is the orginal cds and your Product/key serial which should be on the seal of the cd-rom or on your computer if it came with it
In Microsoft Excel , what function used to find the two (or more than 1) largest/smallest numbers ..in a column?
Well the smallest numbers would be the numbers closet to 0 or 1. The largest...... well since numbers can go on forever, take the last three furthest from 0 or 1. Hope that helps.
Percentile is a useful one. You can use it to calculate the top 20 or bottom 20 percent for example.
SMALL(A2:A7, 1)
SMALL(A2:A7, 2)
SMALL(A2:A7, 3)
LARGE(A2:A7,1)
LARGE(A2:A7,2)
LARGE(A2:A7,3)
Offcoursce A2:A7 is range, you will put your range
1 means smallest/largest
2 means second..so on
You can sort it using the alphabetical sorting, and it will sort the numbers for you.
MIN and MAX are the usual functions in the formula for this
This site gives MIN and MAX examples:

The program was installed when computer purchased. Will Microsoft help me?
Insert your Office CD and select repair or modify
If other Office applications are still installed, open Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel, select Office, then click Change. In the Setup Wizard, select Add or Remove Features and click Next. On the next page, select Word; continue through the wizard. It may require you to insert your OEM Recovery CD to complete the installation.
if you are havind a license version of mirosift then he will help you. otherwise the best way is put your microsoft cd %26 repair the office.
try to go to control panel %26gt;%26gt; add/remove programs %26gt;%26gt; click add/remove windows components (left side) %26gt;%26gt; look for ms office applications..
gud luck =)
If you have a Microsoft Office cd, you can reinstalled. If no, then try another programme which is free e.g. Open Office.
Do you think it is a bunch of guys at a big table and the Microsoft guys slide a peice of paper over to the Yahoo guys with "$44,600,000,000" written on it. And then the Yahoo guys are like....can we think about it?
I think it's exactly like that.
TY Report It
I can picture this in my head....quite interesting!
They will VIOLATE Microsoft for CHATTING!
It's a little more involved than that. I think it was more like a bunch of guys in an office (all Microsoft guys) thinking to themselves "How can we take over the world? What should we start with?" Yahoo was the first thing that came up, and the price for it was second.

"Big Stakes" Monopoly Game...!!
LOL, it's like you read my mind.
As President Hillary Clinton Took control of Microsoft and the others as well as declaring herself supreme leader and suspended the constitution.
is there a name for these and are there examples from past history
It would be a coup.
Generally speaking, there are not that many examples of corporate leaders taking over nations and then declaring themselves dictators. It's not good for public relations.
They already have the influence of the elected representatives through "campaign contributions".
They can try but again the People's Militia of Texas will prevent this from ever happening. I know THIS for a fact.
I can't see how it would be much different. How many crap products has Microsoft put out that need patches, can be corrupted, or need constant babying to work?
and close this down.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080201/ap_o...
expect layoffs i'm afraid..yahoo answers wont close thats the main draw for me anyways to yahoo(answers)
i would hope not this is on eof the most popular web sites
well it was nice answering your questions....
so long now
Are you "All" on Microsoft's payroll????? That's the only way you could get fired. I'm sure not getting a paycheck from Microsoft. Good thing... I hate Microsoft. Nothing new though... the possible takeover has been in the news.
If it goes through won't look good for Yahoo employees.
From the article: "Besides helping to boost its online ad revenue, Microsoft believes it could mine more profit from Yahoo by jettisoning workers and eliminating overlapping operations."
Don't sound to good.
EVERYTIME i go on microsoft word (even if it's a piece of work that's been saved), it doesn't work and i don't understand why. It keeps saying that the program is not responding and i press end now and it says you chose to end the nonresponsive program and i click don't send. Does anyone know wat's wrong and how i can fix it?
Sounds like your Normal.dot (or Normal.dotx, with Word Vista (2007)) may be corrupt. Try this:
1.Close all copies of MS Word.
2.In Windows Explorer (My Computer) go to the directory
c:\Documents and Settings\your username\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates.
(Word Vista may use a different directory.)
3.The Normal.dot template should be in this directory. Change its name to Normal.dot.bak. (So if this doesn鈥檛 work, you can change it back.) If there is a file ~$Normal.dot (note the funny characters at the front), delete it.
4.Try Word again. It should find Normal.dot missing, recreate it, and, hopefully, give you back your functionality.
Good luck.
reinstall word.
or use wordpad instead.
start-%26gt;programs-%26gt;accessories-%26gt;wordpad
Next time choose the "send" for the unresponsive. Sometimes Microsoft will generate a report for that particular problem. If so, follow their advice.
My guess is that some of the WORD files have been corrupted and the program needs to be reinstalled.
You might do an error check for XP. That's a long shot possibility. My Computer, right click Disk C and choose "Properties." Go to error checking and click. You will have to restart the computer for the check to run. Takes a half-hour or so.
Also is there any way to write exponents in microsoft word 2003.I need them to make worksheets for my students.
Use the Insert %26gt;%26gt; Symbols option for common equation symbols.
Exponents can be written by using a super-script format, available in the Format%26gt;%26gt;Font menu.
Highlight the exponent part of the equation, select Format%26gt;%26gt;Font.
Click the "Superscript" checkbox towards the bottom.
Hi
Any computer whizzes out there that can help with this? On my old e-mail which I think was Microsoft Outlook 98, I could set it so that when I received an e-mail from a certain person, their name would appear in a different colour. I cannot figure out how to do this on Outlook 2003. Does anyone know how this is done? Its just really bugging me!
