re: Doing it your way with the Quick Access Toolbar: Crabby's Daily Tip

I would like to add the 'Close' icon to the QAT but it is only shown in File and the right click (great trick) won't work on it.

I've have tried endless variations to stop HSBC spam but still it pops into my Inbox. How can I stop it?

re: Just got Office 2007? Wanna upgrade for free? (Crabby's Daily Tip)

Crabby — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 18:57:38 GMT

Eric: If you bought a computer with Office 2007 or bought Office 2007 between March 5, 2010 and September 30, 2010, all you need to do is download Office 2010 or order a DVD (for a small fee, I believe); you don't have to wait for the email. (You had to have signed up for the email -- maybe you did and just didn't get it or it ended up in spam?)

In any case, here is where you go to download Office 2010: office.microsoft.com/.../tech-guarantee

Hope this helps.

I bought a copy of Office 2007 in June. It came with a free Office 2010 upgrade that I could download from an email I was supposed to get after the release of Office 2010. But, I never received an email. How can I get my free download?

A great place to ask your question is Microsoft Answers answers.microsoft.com/.../default.aspx. There are users like yourself who have questions as well as MVPs and other professionals who can answer them.

Well then, I guess I must be dense. Of course they can save it under a different name. But if they have the password to open it to fill out the various fields, what is stopping them from modifying the structure itself? That's my question: is protection necessarily an all or nothing proposition? I don't understand this notion of simply USING a template that somehow still guarantees the integrity of said template.

Maryse - That's the idea: Users CAN'T edit it; it is in its finished form and the author doesn't want anyone changing it. As for a template, they can't change the template; they can USE the template and write whatever they want in it (assuming they have the password to open it) but they'll have to save it with a different filename.

Make sense?

Um, I'm confused. If you lock, say, a Word form with a password so users can't edit it, how are they supposed to fill it out? Can you leave fields open to editing without freeing the entire structure?

1. I would like to have a command button similar to "save all"....which allows you to save all current word documents all at once...however, I am asking for a button that "save all as" button that allows you to save all current documents that you are working to be moved to a folder as a cluster.... Let us say that I am working on several differnt files that came from several different folders but are now current job priorities....but if I save all they all return to their prospective folders and since the My Recent Documents is no longer as accurate as it used to be I find that I may miss one when I come back the next work day. I I can save them into a folder and label it by date then I can go back to that cluster with more facility and speed.

2. The journal and the My Recent Documents do not seem to be as reliable as before.

3.I would like the option to see the location of the document not just the name. The name is clearly visible in the very top blue ?tool bar. But sometimes I am working on different versions of documents or documents that I am not familiar with and to go to the properties section to know exactly where the current document is at is clutchy in this day and age....a view option to add a toolbar for us who have a large amount of documents from different files from different drives would be helpful.

4. An easier to find suggestion box/comment page/contact us with.... would be helpful........I still don't know if this was the right place to submit this...........if this is not the right place....I apologize....but then could you forward it for me please..........

re: Dear Crabby: Dollars are lovely; cents make them what they are

B Eric Scott — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 02:36:36 GMT

The easiest way to get the cents sign on your document is to simply "Cut and paste this ¢ or the one above."

That is what I did and it is easier and faster than control this and control that.

Just save it to a notepad file and you have it forever.

Try it. You will like it.

Easy and simple.
