  • With the help of Microsoft Office 2003 in Windows 7 that has been changed in Windows XP

    The company I work for recently had to buy a new computer because our hard drive crashed.  We were accustomed to using Windows XP, so the newcomer with Windows 7, but they managed to install Windows XP on it, which is good, since that's what we are used to.  However, the new computer came with OpenOffice and not Microsoft Word or Excel.  Some of the functionality is the same, but it is quite different and slows me down because the formatting of the documents is not the same and we don't have time to reformat all of our existing documents.  We have been using Word 2003 and Excel 2003.  Can someone tell me if buy us Microsoft Office 2003, if it will work on our existing Windows 7 with Windows XP change?  If so, our existing documents created in the 2003 version will remain unchanged or anyway should I reformat them?  Any help you can provide is MUCH appreciated.  Thank you!

    If your company has put Windows XP on it - which was a 100% wipe.  This computer has no idea that he had never Windows 7 top because it cannot read some sticker is on it (product key/certificate of authenticity), nor can it read the invoice which was purchased with it.

    When they suffered the (formatted) system and installed Windows XP pn it cleanly and updated it - they should have installed other software you needed in the context of your work.  Which probably included Office 2003.

    OpenOffice is free - anyone can get it.  If you own a license for Microsoft Office 2003, you do not - you might have installed on Windows 7, or you can install it on Windows XP now. (License and support).

  • Someone stole my phone and when I came back, their iCloud account was on him and the password has been changed. What can I do?

    My phone was stolen recently while I was at Walmart. Sprint located the phone 4 hours later (after saying earlier that they could not do it at all) and sent a message to inform him that had the phone that he had been located. The phone was found at Walmart soon after. When I got the phone back, I noticed that the phone has been restored to the factory settings and the password has been changed. I restored the phone myself using iTunes, but now I'm stuck on the activation screen because they put their iCloud account in my phone (I never put one up myself, not knowing that this would cause this kind of problems) and I do not know the password. I've lost all the photos of my son (he was two weeks previously and I had not copied to my computer yet) and voice messages, I have saved my father who died last year. And now I have a rental phone that costs me $60 / month, that I can't use. Sprint said there is nothing they can do. I called Apple and received no help from their part is there something I can do?

    It requires the Apple ID and password of the thief. If you don't have it and can't get it, then the device is useless to you.

  • ActionScript to: if (text has been changed) {do something...

    Well, my title says it all. What is some Actionscript I can use so that an event may occur only if a dynamic text box has been changed? I used the onChange event, but I don't know how to use it in logic. Ideas?

    Thanks for any help

    If tf1 and tf2 are your textfield instance names, you can use:

    var n: Number = 0;
    var tfNum:Number = 2;

    for (var i: Number = 1; i<=tfNum; i++)="">
    This ["tf" + i] .onChanged = f

    n = Math.max (n, n ^ (1)<>
    {if (n == Math.Pow (2, tfNum + 1 2)}
    Activate your btn

    1. Open system preferences in the Apple menu
    2. Choose the network
    3. Select a Wi - Fi connection on the left
    4. Click Advanced... in the bottom right
    5. Choose your network from the list of preferred networks
    6. Click on the '-' at the bottom of the list
    7. Click OK
    8. Click on apply

    Once removed try to connect to your Wi - Fi network normally and you will be prompted for the password.

    Sincerely
