  • In the forum Coursera pages there are different icons and buttons, but I see that only holders of palce, small squares with letters in there. Any help?

    In the pages of the coursera.org forum, there are different icons and buttons. They do not display correctly. I can see only tiny forms square with characters in them. Hovering on them can display information in some cases, but it is not very convenient. Although they recommend Firefox, I use Chrome instead. Chrome has no questions here so far. Is it possible to view these icons correctly?

    Many sites now use downloadable fonts to create their icons instead of the traditional image files. So, there are some Firefox settings that might be a factor, as well as the NoScript extension, if you use this (blocked objects).

    (1) in the dialog box fonts Advanced, unchecking the checkbox which allows the site to use its own choice of fonts. To check that:

    "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Options > content > button "Advanced".

    Here you must "allow pages to choose their own fonts.

    (2) on the deactivation of fonts downloaded in: config. It's less likely, or you remember probably not, but here's how to check on it.

    • In a new tab, type or paste Subject: config in the address bar and press ENTER. Click on the button promising to be careful.
    • In the search box at the top of the list, type or paste the gfx and make a pause so that the list is filtered
    • If gfx.downloadable_fonts.enabled preference is bold and user, set false, double-click it to return it true.

    It's a long cut as short as vent. I've been miss sold a record of upgrade of windows 8 full disk-shaped, with norton and office 2010. My goal of creating windows on my mac for a course I'm taking. After that know I need windows 7, I bought it online. I created a partition of 80g on my mac charge windows 7, then norton. Until I loaded the office that I was invited to perform the update from apple in the windows software 7. Note before I installed norton, I load boot camp mac utilities according to the instructions. So, followed by all as should be. The prompt update from apple was quick time, iTunes and airport, I checked all and then updated. Then I loaded office 2010 and obtained throughout the process from the Microsoft site. On the last part of the installation, the installation failed due to a mistake of hanging iTunes. I tried again and again, I fixed the update to iTunes to add and remove the section of windows. Then, I got different errors. I decided to remove the whole score without uninstalling all programs again. When I get to the windows live, that this falls priming. I get various error messages whenever I try to start the process. As a header of Bank pool, fatal error and so on. Can anyone help? What is the damage?

  • I want to save the files in tif format in windows 7, 64-bit operating system and Office 2010.

    Hi team, support

    I'm using windows 7, 64-bit and Office 2010 operating system. I want to save web files(e-invoices) in .tif format.

    Because the tif format is only way to download web files(e-invoices) in the download system.

    Please tell us how can I save the files directly in tif like Window XP format.

    He had no problem when I used Windows XP. I could save the files in tif through Microsoft Office Image Writer as a default format.

    A tif file is simply an image

    Office 2010 does not include Microsoft Office Image Writer, he made the MS featured xps document writer and send to OneNote (according to the version of office)

    You can also think about saving to PDF

  • AppVolumes 2.10 and Office 2010

    Hello

    Can someone provide me with accurate steps how to package Office 2010 in AppStack? I installed office 2010 during the layout process, set the KMS server (without launching any office program), activated office and completed commissioning. Problem is that when I attribute this appstack to the user and when the user tries to start any office application, user gets nice message of reconfiguration of office and office complain license. I tried to activate office manually from this workstation user. And activation has complained that it cannot find the product key. Maybe there's some sort of bug in combination AppVolumes 2.10 and Office 2010? Thank you.

    Ray, has been able to find the root cause of the problem. I have no words... :))

    Everything is very simple - if you have MS office installed in the Standard directory not I have problems. When Office is installed in the default directory - no problem at all. I suspect that Vmware did not all properly until the end :)

  • Photoshop CS6 - shortcuts are very fickle and sometimes do not work.

    Lately acted strange my keyboard shortcuts. For example, if I Cmd + click on a layer have selected marquee, and then start filling it with a brush, I am unable to deselect it by using Cmd + D, or make a new layer with Cmd + N or any shortcut for that matter. I have to first click outside the selection with my brush keyboard shortcuts for starting work.
    Whenever I select a new tool, I can't set the opacity of the brush, for example, using the number keys. I had to actually click on the opacity, and then shortened numbers work.

    Someone had this problem? It seems as if the type shortcuts keyboard to work, but only at specific times.

    It all started when I upgraded to the Mavericks of OSX and it seems that many people have had similar problems, but none of their solutions worked in the slightest for me.

    Second idea: Edition > keyboard shortcuts. When the dialog box appears, hold down the Option key. Cancel will be Reset. Click on the one to bring it to the default values.

    Third idea: right or Ctrl-click on a tool in the Toolbar Options icon and select «Reset all tools»

    Hello

We can not open c: for it, if there is a registry edit where I can change the default location for this would be great. Thanks in advance.

    If the Win7 is a 64 bit system, you will need to upgrade Acrobat on XI. AA 7 will work with Win7, 32-bit, after some game, but will not auto. I am thinking especially of printing to the Adobe PDF printer. PDF Maker certainly doesn't work with OFFICE 2010 necessitating AA X with updates to a minimum.

    For AA7, AcroTray function will probably fail (it did for me on a 64-bit system). In fact, you won't probably even get a printer. I was able to install a HP PS printer (color should probably be selected) and change the name of the Adobe PDF printer. Then change the port in the file. When you print to the printer, it will create a PS file (actually ranked PRN) which can then be opened in distilling to complete the process of creation of PDF. For most users, this isn't an obvious solution - I even made with AA5 on a Win7 32 bit. Due to problems, it is strongly recommended to go (at this point, this is a new purchase AA9 is necessary for the upgrade at present) to AA XI. Sorry for the bad news but AA7 is 8 years old and is ancient in terms of software (OK, I always on some XP machines).
