SELECTION OF TEXT WITH THE TOUCH PAD AND WINDOWS 8

Why can't I select text by using a tablet with Windows 8?  I can double-tap to select a Word and triple tap to select the paragraph, but it seems no possible select a sentence or phrase.  What I am doing wrong?

Hi Doug,.

Thanks for posting in the Microsoft community.

Doug, I understand that you are unable to select a sentence or phrase using the touchscreen feature.

To select a sentence or phrase, you must press on the left of the sentence and drag your fingers through.

  • How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?

    It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.

    I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?

    Thank you. -David

    I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".

    With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-

    • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
    • (menu bar) File > Exit

    -and then restart Firefox.

    If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

  • Text with the letters No. and TM sometimes display as exhibitor.

    On some web pages, words that begin with the letters NOT or include TM were part of the word displayed as an exhibitor. For example, if the sentence starts with the Word no, the part not of the word has triggered o and stressed that it is an abbreviation for the word number. A reference as STM32F103 number will have the letters TM raised as if it were an abbreviation for the word mark.

    I tried to place different fonts and found that specifically put a font while not allowing the site to replace, it avoids the problem. Unfortunately some sites use characters that I can't identify just, so I normally run with the option to allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of using fixed fonts.

    On ebay, for example, I have the problem with the characters superscript. I tried to use Google Chrome is a point of comparison and found that the pages display correctly with chrome, but not with Firefox. Search on Google or Yahoo gives me a results page that does not have the characters superscript.

    Is there something that I am missing in the configuration of Firefox which is the cause? I need like sites to choose their own fonts, because otherwise I find myself with looking for very strange pages (even weirder to have numbers or TM poster evil).

    What the font is used for these characters?

    You right click on a web page and select "Inspect element" to open the Inspector (Firefox/tools > Web Developer).

    • You can check the font used for the text selected in the tab fonts in the right pane of the Inspector.

    You can try different default fonts temporarily disable fonts site to test the selected default font.

    • Edit > Preferences > fonts and colors of content > advanced
    • [] 'Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above'

    You can do a test of fonts to see if you can identify not police work.

  • Firefox works with the touch screen technology windows 8?

    Plan to buy all-in-one touch screen pc and want to know if Firefox browser works well with this technology.

    Yes it is on the right. as the article linked in my response earlier said that the touch interface is currently available in early development builds, which are mainly for the developers and users very advanced and not recommended for daily use. Firefox 26 will come on the aurora in mid channel one to beat late October - these build would give you the opportunity to test and to discover the new format in a more stable form (provided that the calendar holds).

  • Problem with the Satellite A200 and Windows Vista startup

    Yesterday, my laptop had some mistakes and tried to stop.
    He remained on the screen closed for quite a long time, so I decided to push the power button until it turns off.

    When I went to turn it back to the a started going through the normal screens, the Toshiba screen and then the white screen with the Microsoft flag down. At this point, the screen goes completely black and rest that way.

    Through starting initial power cord, light is turned on, the power supply is on the HARD drive light and then when the screen turns white HARD drive light turns off and stays off.

    I tried to do a system repair using the F8 key at startup and it goes into the Advanced Boot Options menu when I select 'Repair your computer', the light of the HARD drive temporarily, I go through the screens and select System Restore, I selected a date a few weeks and then click Next on the screen indicating the (c :)) system disk is ready to be restored then it returns an error -" (c) drive has errors. Windows has detected corruption in the file (c) system.

    You should check the drive for errors before you can restore it "- and at this point, I can only click on the 'check' the drive to find errors, and then click Start, as he chose the option 'Automatically fix file system errors'."

    When I click Start nothing seems to happen just on the same screen, the HARD drive light does not come on at all and there is no internal HARD drive noise. The only way I can get out of this screen is to turn the computer off again.

    If someone is able to help I would really appreciate it!

    Thank you!

  • Various installation with the Portege R100 and Windows XP issues

    Hello

    I recently bought a used Portege R100. It came without OS and I wanted to install XP SP2.

    I know that restorations only work with PCMCIA readers adapted, but the HARD drive is formatted, so there is no recovery possible I guess.
    Here are my problems:
    -with my very old Freecom PCMCIA CD player the Windows installation CD is recognized, and it starts to load the XP drivers until he wants to start copying files installiation--> then I get the blue screen of Windows with the error 00 x 7 (virus or driver)
    -the same thing happens with my former W2k Pro installation disc.
    -With the even more ancient W98SE, strange things are happening too: installation seems to work fine, but when it comes to start with W98SE, for the first time, the system hangs up with pixelgarbage.
    -Make the 6 Bootdisks with makeboot doesn't work anymore.
    -J' also tried MS-DOS! And guess what! It worked! Loading the Freecom drivers and copy of Windows I386 folder on my hard drive with the volkov Commander (something similar to NortonCommander) worked too! So I got hav files on my drive but after running Windows NT in the i386 folder, the system hangs after some time, when it starts to copy the files to a temporary folder.

    So I tried almost everything I know. at this moment I am download knoppix to try it.

    I ran Memtest86 and 9 Diskmanager to test the RAM and HARD drive, finished two withut errors, so the priority of main parts in the installation process seems to work. Maybe it's that my IDE controller is broken?
    I have no idea, WHY does he not move windows!

    Help is hot!

    Thank you

    It should work out that way, run you own your HD first in Fat32format - file-system, otherwise it won't work!
    Don't forget to use "smartdrive' in your BACK-commissioning, otherwise it will take a lot of time, even the 'freeze' is possible.

  • Unable to connect to the internet with the NETWORK card and Windows Millennium Edition.

    Hello

    I turned on my old computer yesterday, who has installed Windows Millennium Edition. At the back of the computer is an Ethernet port which is marked as LIEN ACT. The NIC with this port is Realtek 8139 PCI Fast Internet Adapter. I spend two hours on the Internet configuration and I did and finally got connected, but then, a few hours after, something went wrong and the Internet and the NETWORK card has stopped working! And the card has disappeared from the Device Manager, but he's still showing in network in Control Panel. I opened the computer and I reconnected it to the slot, but it did not help. At the back of the computer next to this port are two LEDs - green indicates the power that lights up when I plug the Internet cable and the other orange indicates actual connection. But now these two LEDs are not indicating something even when I plugged in the cable to the Internet, which comes from my router. In the computer a Dial Up connection PCI is installed too, but I disabled it. I used Dial-Up in 2002. So, I need help.
    But I know that I can connect with this Ethernet card to the Internet because it worked for 3 hours, I've loaded the pages and downloaded programs.
    Please don't point, should I upgrade Windows!
    Thank you.

    Hi friend,
    You can try a Bing search on connectivity to Win ME, I don't know there are still a few old sites that are not taken down you will find a few FAQ on.
    I saw not a ME machine in too many years to count!
    Good luck on your adventure.

    Hello

    I guess you checked if the Tablet has been properly connected to the docking keyboard.

    Have you tried to unplug and plug the docking again?
    Note: there is a latch on the left you have to move and in order to remove the tablet.

    Perhaps there is a connection problem.

  • HP 15 ab019na: clicking on the touch pad does not work

    My laptop newly purchased has just been upgraded to Windows 10. My problem is with the touch-pad. Clicking on most of the things with it (left or right) turn simply on the element, but it does not open the item. For example, the cross that appears in the top right, to a screen, to cancel this screen does not when you click on it. I have to touch it with my finger so he could work (the laptop's touch). A lot of hypertext links do not open when you click on it, but their contact works. The Start button at the bottom left does not open when you click on it, but it's when they are affected.

    Clicking is sometimes more convenient than touch, so I would if the issue is resolved.

  • I have a Toshiba satellite L455D laptop and the touch pad does not work

    If I plug my usb wireless mouse that works, but when I unplug it the touch pad does not work

    Have you checked to see if your laptop model has a physical button around the mouse pad that allows & turns off?  If it does not, many cell phones often have a software switch that can toggle the on & off power mouse pad.  It is usually triggered by a combination of function keys (key Fn + one of the F1 to F12 keys).

    Take a close look at the row of the top of your keyboard and see if you can find a key that has a small symbol that looks like a mouse pad.  If you find one, try pressing it in combination with your Fn key to see if your mouse pad features returns.

    Your touchpad driver is maybe defective. Go to the Toshiba website from the link below and enter your laptop model number and the operating system that you will find on a label on the back and download it and install it the Touch Pad Driver and see if that fixes the problem.

  • find and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds

    Hi writer... .new question from here:

    mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

    alert (mySelection);

    throughout the document, I need search and delete blocks of text with the same geometricBounds.

    If possible, the same dimensions, but not the same positions.

    Thanks for the help!

    OK Bala... .in to decimal differences, some executives have not been removed.

    I solved with "Math.round' instead of 'number '.

    ===================

    mySelection var = app.activeDocument.selection [0] .geometricBounds;

    var myWidth = Math.round(mySelection[3]-mySelection[1]);

    var myHeight = Math.round(mySelection[2]-mySelection[0]); Alert (myHeight);

    var allFrames = app.activeDocument.allPageItems;

    While (t = allFrames.pop ()) {}

    {if (t.IsValid)}

    var myTextframe = t.geometricBounds;

    var myTWidth = Math.round(myTextframe[3]-myTextframe[1]);

    var myTHeight = Math.round(myTextframe[2]-myTextframe[0]);

    If ((myWidth == myTWidth) & (myHeight == myTHeight)) {}
