Spike ,'Conversations with Dead People'
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!
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.
Hold down the option key when dragging the drive icon to the Mac HDD or a folder or even the desktop. A + symbol will show, let go and it copies the whole thing.
thanks to both
I finally upgraded from Firefox 2 to Firefox 3.6! And, what the hell, it...appears to be a better browser. Things load faster, and the website-specific issues I was having (pop-ups on TWoP, hanging scripts on io9 and other pages) have disappeared!
I'm a little annoyed that AutoCopy doesn't seem to work anymore. The ClickCutter AutoCopy extension is somewhat annoying and mildly obnoxious.
And, hallelujah, the Flash plug-ins remained intact, so I am free to watch YouTube videos at work, unlike Michael Scott.
So I bought the Virgin wireless broadband thingie for my laptop. I'll let y'all know how it works.
Another Word 2007 question, I cannot figure out how to insert the total number of pages as in Page # of #. It used to be on the handy header/footer toolbar. I can figure out how to insert and format the page number but not the total pages.
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.
Oh how I wish that were an option. The Government wants me to be in pain.
lisah, is it under the option called "Quick Parts"? I haven't used that, but it looks like you can go to Fields, DocProperty, and then Pages.
(Quick Parts? WTH, Word?)
Can you just go to the "Insert" ribbon and select one of the Page Number styles that has 'Page X of Y'?

That's the only way I've found but I don't want it to freaking style my document for me!! It's so ridic. Seriously. I feel very alone in my office about this because nobody else really cares how things look, I guess. possibly also I'm not the most patient person in the world.

I can get to that field but I can't figure out how it works.
Can you reformat it after it's inserted? It'll put in the fields for you, but you can change it after that.

Well, yes, but what a pain in the ass!
EVERYTHING ABOUT WORD 2007 SUCKS WAH WAH WAHHHHHHH
thank you for listening
