MS Word for Dummies
 
Help.

I got a new computer a while ago, and with it a new copy of word. Somehow, the first time I used it, I think I changed the blank document template or something, so that every time I open a new document, there are already words on the page. (These words, for those of you who want to know, are "My name has been changed pursuant to").

Can someone please oh please make all of my new documents blank once again?

Thanks.

search for "normal.dot" and open it (look at the top to make sure it is .dot, and not .doc or just Document 1) and edit it and save and close it.

According to the Apple web site, every single store in NY has stock.

okay. my kid downloaded some crap on my macbook, i think. when I first turn it on an icon comes up that says there are no devices to update, and this is associated with something called superdrive update 2.1. I can't put the update in the trash, and I don't think it belongs. there also was some limewire downloads that I hope have all been deleted, but I can't be sure.

anyway the Macbook will periodically tells to shut down as it has locked up. umm I know that isn't right cuz I saw the commercial. my shuffle won't show up in i tunes, plus it does all sorts of odd things, like just stopping.

Wonk, did you steal hank's login?

I believe there was a recent update for superdrives on Macbooks. Do you have a superdrive (burns DVDs)? Once you've run the update, then you can ditch the file. Don't know why you can't put it in the trash . . . try running software update, and then try to trash again.

What causes it to lock up/shut down?

I would get the limewire stuff off as best you can.

Also, have you repaired permissions recently? Go into Disk Utility, and select hard drive, then repair permissions. Then restart.

Actually a fucked up apple update.

System preferences
Accounts
Select the account, then pick the tab that says "Login items" highlight the update then hit the minus key.

MAke sure your DVD drive still works. This update fried DVD drives all over the country.

The Princess's iBook is freezing up again. Another faulty logic board. This makes 9 so far.

However, she wants to get a new computer for college, so we'll be buying her the new macbook. I'm hoping this one works better, because I would actually like to believe macs are functional.

If she can keep the new one going for the whole school year, I may think about getting myself one for my photography. The graphics kicks ass, and Aperture is probably the best photo software around.

I'm surprised Apple hasn't cut the Wonk Princess off, like Sprint and its customers.
