All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Numbers/Excel issue: I created a file in Numbers and exported it as an Excel file. Everything worked great... except the column that had images in it was blank. Any suggestions? I could go find all 500 images again and plop them into Excel but I'd really rather not. (Plus, I didn't have to resize the images for Numbers.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Finally. Apparently Google's DNS service is down, so if you're affected and are having slow browsing, here: [link] I changed mine to OpenDNS and getting to some sites is much faster now.

I was using the ctrl+ to zoom in on a jpeg in Chrome, and somehow my windows display settings were frelled to super-big. Not just chrome, but my entire display I went into display settings and manually adjusted my settings back to what I preferred, so technical support not needed, or at least not if it will take any effort on your part. But if you can guess offhand how the fuck I managed to do that, please let me know.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

You're on a Mac? Ctrl-mousewheel will do that.

Aurelia, no clue. Can you try different export methods?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

aurelia, there's some explanation as to why that happens here [link] but I am not finding an easy way around it...

Tom I'm on windows. Still makes sense that there is either a windows shortcut, or possibly a shortcut built into my video driver.

Hey. New board.

Windows+ does a magnification thing over your current mouse position, but that doesn't sound like what you mean. Do You mean your resolution got changed? If so that sounds like a video card thing. Otherwise I'm not sure what you mean by display size.

Actual video card settings. Went to a lower resolution which made everything bigger. In all programs. Which is a standard windows setting that interacts with video card. I just don't know what shortcut key i accidentally hit to change that with a single keystroke.

Hm. Ok. Maybe I'll make PDFs for now and revisit this when there aren't more pressing matters.

Thanks.
