How to make a type of file (.doc) always open in a specific program?

original title: How do a (.doc) file type always open in a specific program (my newly installed Word 2010)?

I use MS Vista and you have recently installed MS Office 2010 to replace my original MS Office 2003.  I want to affect Word 2010 for the program by default to use whenever I double-click a .doc (as opposed to .docx) file, attached or in a directory listing.  But I am unable to do it using the normal control panel installation because I don't know the name of the executable file MS Word 2010.  Please advise me how I solve this problem.

If its just .doc file then:

1. click on Start-> default programs.

2. click on associate a type of file or Protocol with a program.

3. Locate the .doc from the list of the types of files and left click to select.

4. click on the line of change program and follow the instructions by selecting the word in an appropriate place.

P.S. for future reference the executable file of Word is called winword.exe

    I'm doing a film type Brady Bunch for my wedding. The basic idea is that my bridal party mime along a song and its display in a mosaic of Brady Bunch effect... I am registered and just really struggled with Quicktime Pro - Ive downloaded the Pro part of it... but I can't work on how to make a grid of movie... any help would be appreciated!

    If I understand correctly what you want to do, the basic strategy is the following...

    (1) create video clips that you want to merge into a single player to create your space video editing (rather than temporal). (I.e., Audio and/or the content of each video clip is more later extracted from its source file merged together as independent data tracks in a single-file container with a maximum limit of 99 tracks.) NOTE: It is usually better to create or pre crop your videos to the format of image that you want to display in your final file. While the poster may change subsequently, chasing elongation may introduce distortion of object in the final poster.

    < image edited by host >

    Here is a collection of files that I used to create a file of example of which, according to me, you try to accomplish.

    (2) once the individual clips have been created, the next step is to extract/copy the data of your main working file. I normally recommend a workflow 'extraction' here to eliminate the possible accidental change in sourcing video clips that may or may not be needed later - especially if you can be prone to make mistakes during the learning process or need to re - edit track content later for one reason or another. In this case, the video tracks of the first 8 files posted above will be merged together as 320 x 180 'windows' in a grid 3 x 3, playing in a display area 960 x 540. The 9th (central area of window grid) will display a "title" image PNG which will be added later with a single audio track. The result will look something like this:

    < image edited by host >

    In my case, the videos are displayed is attached directly to the other and without borders. Show images title, borders, scaling and positioning of the content is all areas in which you can express your individual creativity so the image above is presented just as a small example of what can be done.

    (3) the next step is to open/create your 7 QT main window work (target player) Pro. To make this simple select the 'New player' option under the menu 'File' of QT 7 Player.

    (4) at this point you repeatedly open your video clips source one by one, extract data from a track audio and/or video you like, store their pointers in the temporary memory, select the target drive and then copy references to date of temporary storage track in the new player. Most of these operations, you want to open and use the 7 QT Pro fenΩtre 'PropriΘtΘs' ('Command-J' keyboard shortcut).

    The base this workflow is to open/select the video file source, open the 'Properties' window, select the data track, you need to extract/copy, press the button "Extract" to extract the data from a separate playback window (to avoid accidental loss or modification of the original file), select the player window newly extracted, press the "Command-A" keyboard shortcut to select the entire track (or change the track if necessary before using the shortcut) , press the keyboard shortcut "Control + C" to copy the reference to the memory track, select the target drive window, open the 'properties' if it isn't already open, make sure that the playhead is an insertion point in the timeline panel and press the hotkey 'Command-Option-V' (or select 'Add' option menu change) to copy the track to your target file.

    At this point, you can close any unnecessary player windows always open and repeat the operation until all the data of video clip has been added to your target drive. Your 'Properties' window for the target player should now look like this:

    (5) the next step is to scale and/or get compensation for the display of individual video tracks. This can be done immediately after inserting the video tracks individual or all at the same time. I encoded my files to the resolution and the appearance I wanted to display, I didn't need to scale my files in this example. In any case, go to the widow of 'Properties' of the working file and select the video track, you want to work. Once the track is selected, open the tab "Visual settings" piece of tat in the half lower the window "Properties". Enter values waterproofing if necessary, but try not to change the proportions of the display. Then adjust the values of offset for each track so that the individual display areas do not overlap each other. In my case, it was implemented first video track to an offset "0 x 0. Because my songs were to be displayed in the boxes to display 320 x 180, additional video tracks were offset 320 x 0, 640 x 0, 0 x 180, 640 x 180, 0 x 360, 320 x 360 and 640 x 360 with the offset of Center (320 x 180) reserved for future use by my 'title' PNG image. Video tracks are normally assigned to layers automatically when added to the target file. These layer assignments may be changed if necessary for duplication, but since none of my pieces overlap, I have all my video tracks placed on layer '0 '. (However, this was not something you need to worry at the moment.)

    (6) using the same basic strategy, I opened my PNG image in a window of player QT 7 and used the keyboard shortcut "Command-A" and "control + C" to copy the image into the temporary memory. However, since I want this image image displayed during the entire period of the reading of the final file, I use a different strategy to copy it in to target player. In this case, I select the target player and the keyboard 'Command-A' to select the length of the file. At this point, I can use the menu 'Edition' the option "Add to selection and Scale" (shortcut of keyboard 'Option-shift-command-V') to display the image copied for the duration of the file.

    (7) the last data track, which I have added to my sample file was the audio track. Here once again the strategy of the video track is used to extract everything first and then copy/add data to the target file. This concludes the copy of data workflow and I recommend that you use the "save under...". "Option from the file menu to save your project as a MOV file standalone.

    (8) at this point, you can cut your file if necessary. In my case, all video tracks (as well as the audio track) was of different lengths. In my case, I started reading all the content at the beginning of my file, but you can offset the departure of any track anywhere in your timeline if you want. (Another chance for you to express your individual creativity that can be desired). However, since each of my video track ends at a different point during playback, I found it interesting to cut my file at the point where the audio track ends and before the last video track ends playback. Basically, you can use the 'I' and keyboard shortcuts "O" to define 'in' and 'out' points for your target video if you want. Once these are defined, you can use the Edit option "Trim to selection" menu to physically cut your project file.

    (9) when the project is complete, you can export it to a format of final distribution. In my case, I used the El Capitan Finder 'Convert' possibility of embedding to transcode the project file M4V h.264/AAC high quality to "flatten" all the contents of simple video and audio tracks. The target format was probably "overkill" for my purposes, but provides a good example of what you can do according to the time and effort that you can invest.

    (10) this is the URL to the 'project' and the final output files "" in case you want to review. (Option-click on the link to download copies.)

  • How to get the Types of files - not associated with the applications Adobe CC

    How can I prevent Adobe creative cloud files of type to come in my research.

    I don't know how to use I or PS I accidentally a license and an image that cannot be opened with the help of HAVE or EPS (which makes all this shit even average?)

    I just want some png or JPEG files or any files can be used without having to use adobe software.

    So now I'm forced by Adobe to pay $22.99 per month for access to their software, just so that I can open a picture - what the mini-bars

    I'm not a designer, I can't use these programs, I want just the images that I can use on my site - is it so difficult?

    It is very easy in fact. Just deselect "Vectors" in your search. Which will remove all the .ai files. The rest you can use without any Adobe applications at all.

    And to be sure, every detail of the image indicates the type of file. If she says .ai/.eps you probably don't want to.

    You can use the api for that call. Here is a code:

    Invocation of the invocation = new Invocation (fileUri);
    invocation.setAction (ContentHandler.ACTION_OPEN);
    The Registry = Registry.getRegistry (getClass () .getName ());
    Registry.Invoke (invocation);

    You can probably find a few samples, recently saw an article about it.

    In Windows Vista and 7, make changes to the files in Program Files is strongly discouraged.  It is possible, but requires a security change / property rights.  Well-written programs should look to the folder tree of data program for these kinds of things, or sometimes the user Appdata folder.  There is not another location course serve this in Autocad 2010?  There should be.

  • How to make a large texture file from a .png file small?

    Hello: Level: intermediate/new > OS: Windows 7 64-bit > Ps: Cs6

    I learned about Textures and I was playing with different and so, I came across a great site with a lot of Texture files for download... http://subtlepatterns.com/paper-1/

    Well, the files are small for example: 38 x 38 and 76 x 76 and I have no idea how to create a larger image with these small images. In addition, they are in .png format... so what counts.

    What I read a Texture is a model... right? So, I searched the FAQ, manual, etc. for things like: how to make a great model, how to use a small file to a large model and so forth but I can't find the right info.

    Am I suppose to only be used to create a model of repetition? Can I do and make them be transparent?

    Just thought I would ask for help while I continue my quest for answers.

    In the meantime, I'm heading to the manual to learn more about the making of the bosses.

    Thank you for your time

    Hello

    How to make a color picker, as shown in the attached photo and vi? I thought to use control of the ring, but I couldn't put a colorbox as the element inside the ring. Someone familiar with this?

    Thank you.

    PS: attached vi is for Labview 5.1.1 I want to rewrite in labview 2010.

    It's a picture ring control.  It seems that the programmer has used a rectangular flat decoration, says color, copied in the ring of photo control.
