  • If I can score a Word and have all the duplicated words included in book index automaticlly

    I have FM10 and would mark the key words that are used repeatedly in the book or document and all have duplicates of these words in the index automatically. Does anyone know if there is there a function or an easy procedure for this? Thank you, Glenn

    1. Save (in which case the change to all of the unintended side effects).
    2. Mark an instance of the word/phrase for indexing.

      I suggest to insert the marker, or moving the marker to the word, so that the marker is selected (and also so that is the word begins with a marker of weft-inserted, the markers are not superimposed).

    3. Select the word/phrase, including the marker.

  • Each folder in my external hard drive and Flash Drives have all been replaced by cmd shortcuts by accident

    I don't know how it happened but one night, I unplugged my external hard drive, and I remember vaguely the prompt being opened by accident after I plugged the external drive again the next day. The computer says my drive needed for formatting, that does not make sense because my drive was not related at the time. Well, when I reconnected my drive and restarted the computer, each folder in my external hard drive, I created in recent months, had been changed to shortcuts by the computer. The target location for each folder on my external hard drive and readers flash is (C:\Windows\System32). So whenever I click on a folder for documents, it will open in another screen, but I can't ever see as a folder only content inside, I need to find a way to cancel some setting in my computer that changes every folder I creat in a shortcut that reads-card: cmd (C:\Windows\System32)

    Hi Gordon Gekko.

    It seems that the data on the hard drive is damaged. I suggest you plug the drive on another computer or another port on the same computer to see if the data is accessible.

    If you take a backup of the data in the drive and try to format the drive.

    For more information, see the following link:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/formatting-disks-and-drives-frequently-asked-questions

    You can also use your favorite search engine to download third party software to recover the data and then format the drive, so it's is more corrupt.

    Note: The use of third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

  • My file extensions have all been replaced by "lnk". How to reverse extensions to what they were previouslyn?

    I don't know how my file extensions have been changed to "lnk".  I don't know what should be the extension of each file.  How can I change file extensions to what they should be?

    LNK is not a problem in itself.  It is simply a shortcut file.  For example, you have a lot of shortcuts on your desktop, open your Media Player or web browser.

  • I tried to copy the pictures from my digital camera on computer memory card and now I can not find them, and they have all been removed from the map. What should I do?

    I inserted the memory card from my digital camera in the slot on my HP laptop.  I went into my computer and 'file' tab and press "copy".  He asked a folder name called 'Photos '.  I then went in the 'photos' file and it says it's empty.  I then inserted the memory card in my camera and were not the picture about it.  I am so upset... There are 665 photos that can never be replaced.  What should I do?

    Hello

    The operating system that you are running on your computer?

    You may have set the option "Erase after importing" when importing the photos. At the end of the import process, then pictures should appear in the Windows Photo Viewer.

    Open the Windows Photo Viewer and check if you can see these photos.

  • Hesitant to import my old photos into Lightroom as they have all been published on my Sony play memories... wouldn't be better to just start with the new pictures that I take every day?  (not published)

    You could start with new photos which gives you a good idea for the application and use of cursors to develop. The change of Lightroom is completely non-destructive. All changes are stored in a database (catalog) so your original is never touched. Perhaps you could bring more old photos already on your computer, a file at a time, when you're ready. Use Import > Add.

    To import new photos from a camera or card use Import > copy

  • HP Officejet 6500 E709n wireless. Will not print Word documents or text edit.

    I'm connected wireless with an iMac Snow Leopard and MacAir 10.8.2, Mountain Lion 10.6.8.  I have used this system for a year, had no problems printing to date.  I am able to print a .jpg attachment but nothing else, we try to print (from computers) is printed.  I tried to print a Word document as well from a text edit page with no luck.  Two days ago, I was able to print from a Word document - nothing has been changed on the computer or the printer.  I am naïve.

    How is the printer connected?  Would it be a network, what router?  You've restarted the router by pulling its plug momentarily?  You've restarted the printer?

  • Word documents corrupt after the installation of Microsoft Office 2010.

    Original title: problems after installation of Office 2010

    Hi all...

    Installed 2010 using SCCM 2,000 desktop computers.

    After installation I had about 50 clients with different problems, and the only solution I have found so far is to delete and recreate the user profile.

    To be more precise, some clients when you open a word document have an error advising the document is corrupted and running document recovery tool.

    This is followed by an error and you have the option to send to MS or not.

    No matter what you select documents recovery starts to recover and then throws to the top of the same mistake. This happens three times with the same messages whether to send.

    Word closes and if you try to reopen the same doc the process is exactly the same thing.

    Documents can be on a server share or local hard disk.

    Some documents are opened without problem.

    If I disconnect the client, and log back on with any other account, the document opens fine.

    After the deletion and re-creation of the profile of users, documents open without error.

    We also use groupwise to email (urghh) and the same customers don't have any address book once the office install.

    After the deletion and re-creation of the profile, the address book also works OK.

    On the PC, the only change was the installation of Office 2010 and errors have appeared that immediately after deployment.

    All PC are patches and A / V is trend (latest updates.)

    PC include a laptop HP 6730 and 5800's HP desktop computers

  • Restored HD from a Time Machine backup of my old iMac (stolen) from my new MacBook Pro.  Not all the files have been restored.

    My iMac 27 "(2011) so my wife 13 '' MacBook Pro (2011) were recently stolen after our House was robbed.  My wife got a new MacBook Pro and I restored it successfully its data (selected "backup restore Time Machine" during the installation of its new MacBook Pro).  However, I also got a new 15 "MacBook Pro in lieu of the iMac 27".  I have, once again, selected "Restore from Time Machine backup" (selected the iMac as the backup source) when installing my new MacBook Pro.  When it was finally over, I told Time Machine to inherit from the backup.  Unfortunately, none of the files in the My Documents folder or the photos in my photo library have been restored.  Was it a bad idea to try to use the backup of the iMac as a source for the MacBook Pro (both running El Capitan)?

    is it possible that your documents are stored on another drive which was not part of the backup plan? or is the HD in the big enough MBP to inherent the old backup.

    If you open the time machine with the original backup disc, you should be able to browse the content

    If the files are found, you can restore by right-clicking (or CTRL + left mouse)

    If the document has never been saved, there is nothing to recover. The exception is if the Word crashed, in which case there might be a file of ASR left; We should give this file the next time that you start Word.

  • I deleted several accounts of users, but after that I have restart the laptop all user accounts have been restored?

    I deleted several user accounts and need to restart to changesw can take effect, but after that I have to restart the laptop then all user accounts have been restored?

    Hi GhettoBoy,

    How do you delete user accounts? Is it just C:\Dosument and settings users or accounts under the control panel? If you don't want to keep all these account data, you can try to delete the profile of click Start-> settings-> Control Panel-> system-> Advanced-> user profile and select the profile and remove. Also check under 'User accounts' in the control panel to remove the names of users.

    I hope this helps.
