Mail yellowed a Word.  Why?

V10.11.1 El Capitan using, I was composing a message in Mail V9.1, somehow unintentionally a word highlighted thus became:

It turns out that this word had become a 'thing' which apparently can no longer be moved, edited or copied.  If I add a line above it, the text moves down, but this yellow 'thing' does not move down:

What we call this 'thing '?  How could I have created?

To recover, I just selected and copied my entire text, then pasted into a new message.  Fortunately, this 'thing' was not copied.  But I still want to know what it was.

I found it!  At least, I found the same thing in Safari.

"Find" (⌘F) greys window then the points of interest hits.  All the hits except the success of the first (or current) have a white background, but the current success has a yellow background.

If, then, you change the size of the text (⌘ + or ⌘-), all the movements of the text, but the hilit hits do not move, so that you get the above strange effect for mail.

This is probably a bug, and the simple workaround.

    Since the installation of EL CAPITAN, I can't open pictures and iPhotos with PHOTOSHOP CS6, nor my mails with office Word

    Hi denisb,

    If you are not able to open the Photos App images directly in Photoshop then, this is the expected behavior as App Photos does not allow for any third-party application interact with it directly.

    You must export images from the Photos App and then open in Photoshop.

  • you attempt to add as an attachment to an e-mail message block Thunderbird, why

    I, ve been using Thunderbird with success on my HP Pavilion p6060a (Vista) including attaching documents (pdf or Word) for outgoing e-mail via the notice that appears when the words "join" or "attached" are inserted at the end of the project email. However, in the past few days this installation did not work, and attempted, leads to a 'crash' of Thunderbird. I tried to uninstall Thunderbird and reinstall but it does not always help. I also sent several reports of accidents to Mozilla with no response. Help!

    You can attach files in the usual way of Edit/Attach (Ctrl-Shift-A), or it only crash when you join files after you type "join" in the body of the message?

  • I can't paste clip art into windows mail. (copied from word document - using IE8) How can I fix?

    I can't paste clip art into windows mail. (do not give me the option.)   I copied the clipart in Word document.  I use IE8, IE9, but unnstalled have in the hope of resolving the problem.   Thank you, Pam

    You cannot copy and paste images (especially the cliparts) of the word.  You need to refer to a disk image.  So use Insert | Picture to insert the image.  The image must also be a format that IE can display, as it is used to show messages in WinMail.

    IE9 is not a problem for that. See here for IE9 questions: www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#15

  • by clicking on the http links in windows mail will open word instead of the browser

    How can I replace a block if no information bar?

    When I click on links HTTP in a Windows Mail message opens a Word document. Windows Mail help seems to indicate that the link is blocked because it may be phishing and that the solution is to click on the link and type unlock in the InfoBar. I don't see an information bar. It started recently, so I think that I have installed a phishing filter updated. Can I remove the offending filter or?

    IE9 is blocking the information bar if you want to see it, and then open the message in a separate window and it will appear again or uninstall IE9.  As for opening Word instead of IE, go to the control panel. Default programs | Associate a file type or Protocol with a program, press page down to the HTTP and HTTPS protocols, and set IE as default.

  • Emailing Word documents as an attachment to e-mail directly from Word.

    I think this is a Vista problem, because I had no problem doing this before.

    When I try sending Word documents as an attachment directly from Word the screen becomes white and freezes and I have to give salvation to three fingers and restart to get things again.

    The only way it will work is if I send the doc as a .xpf, which is useless, because no one can read.  I need to be able to send it in .doc or .pdf format.

    I'm under Word 2007 in Vista.

    Make sure that all e-mail program you are using is set by default in Control Panel | Default programs.  If that doesn't fix it, then save the Word document in doc format and then compose a new email and attach it then.

  • Creating application from merger and mail merge using Word

    Hello

    We are in the process of developing an application web coldfusion that allows the user to download the document Word and a data source for the mail merge.

    After spending a few hours Googling, we are still unable to find a definitive solution. Everyone gives us a pointer to how we might be able to do this? If coldfusion maybe using Java may be able to access the objects of Microsoft Office?

    Your help will be really appreciated.

    Use the tag to coldfusion to create word application object below (you must have Microsoft word installed on your cf server).
    Word.Application
    Word.Document
    Word.MailMerge

    Then you can follow the same steps how a VW program to create the word more in ColdFusion. An example of vb code is give below.

    Dim oWordApp As New Word.Application
    Dim WrdDoc As Word.Document
    Dim wrdMailMerge As Word.MailMerge

    Set WrdDoc = oWordApp.Documents.Open ("path of model", ReadOnly: = True)
    Set wrdMailMerge = WrdDoc.MailMerge
    wrdMailMerge.OpenDataSource Name: = "file path", Format: = "format", ConfirmConversions: = True
    wrdMailMerge.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
    wrdMailMerge.Execute
    oWordApp.ActiveDocument.SaveAs FileName: = "path full & name", FileFormat: = "format".

    Set oWordApp = Nothing
