lisah,
After working with Word 2007 for 4 months, I said "fuck it" and I moved over to a Mac. I am someone who found it so objectionable that I never adapted. I hope you find it easier than I did.
This is not funny. This... this is a morality tale about the evils of sake.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

I'm trying to copy a windows disk onto a mac. I was using the help button to figure out how to copy and looked up duplicate, and it and instead of explaining the duplicate function to me, it started it. It the duplicate function just an extended copy or will it do something I hate? If I need to, how do I stop it?

On mine, you can insert a page break from the Insert tab.
Yeah, but not a section break. Random.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
For a regular page break, can't you just hit control-enter?

Wow, so I really shouldn't migrate, huh? We are change averse.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Typo Boy, what exactly are you trying to copy? Are you just copying the contents to a hard drive?
The easiest way to do that is to click on the disk, hold down "option" and drag it to a folder or the hard drive.
It will then copy the entire contents to a folder on the hard drive with the name of the disc.

I'm trying to copy an entire windows hard drive from a dead computer (Now successfully mounted as an external hard drive on the Mac) into a folder on the MAC. When I drag and drop it creates a pointer rather than making a real copy. The "duplicate" eventually generated an error and left a garbage folder which I deleted and emptied the trash. All I want to do is copy the windows hard drive onto a folder on the mac. But I want a real folder, so I can disconnect the windows hard drive and still have the files.

Can you trying copying a folder on the external hard drive to the mac?

As opposed to copying the whole drive? Yeah that makes sense. This is for a friend whose windows machine died and bought a MAC. Salvaging her drive, moving it to an external case and attaching it to the Mac proved the easy part. I'll try that in the morning.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
yes. just to see if you can copy anything at all.
