This is driving me crazy, hopefully someone knows the answer to this.
New work computer has Excel:Mac 2008 v 12.2.6 on it. The formula bar has somehow become a floating bar. How do I get it back into the toolbar at the top of each document?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

let me open up excel and see.
Go to View ---> Customize Toolbars, then select "dock"

It's been long enough that I can no longer give you the exact menu locations and which tabs to click on, like I was once able to do, but...
What you need to do is make sure the tool bars are unlocked (if the button rows up top have little ridges along the left side, and you can slide them around, they are unlocked).
Once you have the tool bars unlocked, you can make any toolbar a floating toolbar by dragging it away from the top of the window, or you can put a floating toolbar on the top of the window by dragging it there. Once you've done that, arrange the buttons and toolbars how you want, and then RELOCK THE TOOL BAR!
Otherwise you will continue to accidentally drag toolbars into floating toolpads, and forget how to put them back.

Go to View ---> Customize Toolbars, then select "dock"Yup, went there, and the only things that have the check box for "dock" are Standard & Formatting. Nothing for formula bar in that window at all.
The little floating window can be opened from the view menu. And close it. But it still stays semi-translucent and floating.

weird.
I guess what I did was dock it at the top of the screen and it has stayed there ever since. I don't know about the translucent issue.
how irritating.

how irritating.Yes! And with two screens, the spreadsheet is on one, and the formula bar is on the other.
Thanks for trying. Glad to know I'm not missing something simple.

I had something similar happen recently and I restarted the computer and it went away.

Is there a way to tell iPhoto "You already imported these, please stop asking about them"? The latest iPhone update is making iPhoto think it hasn't imported any videos off this phone.

Hivemind diagnosis help? I run Firefox on a Windows XP system at work. Every day around 1pm I have to restart the machine because my internet is getting annoyingly slow. Just rebooting Firefox doesn't help; I have to restart. The IT guy who looked at it couldn't find anything and told me I had too many tabs open in my browser (I usually have 3 open constantly: work email, yahoo mail, and gmail, and then anywhere from 1 to 10 others depending on what I'm working on; when I have a lot of tabs open it is because I am USING THEM FOR WORK.) I only use one Firefox extension (Fireshot Pro). Ideas as to what this might be?
