I've experimented a bit further and have found that if I uninstall the Alt-Tab Task Switcher powertoy the problem (IE refusing to give up the focus to other apps when I try to cycle to them using...

I did have the TaskSwitch Power Toy installed. I've just tried uninstalling it and so far it appears to have solved the problem. I guess I'll leave it uninstalled now, which I suppose is ok. Just to...

I just upgraded to IE 7.0. Now when I try to cycle through my open apps, using Alt-Tab, IE isn't always willing to give up the focus. In other words, when I try to use Alt-Tab to move to another open...

Yes, that wasn't the problem. It turned out that the issue was that I didn't have ownership of the Documents and Settings/username folder (and subfolders). As admin you'd think you'd have access to...

Worked perfectly! Many many thanks!

My old computer died but the hard drive survived. I'm in the process of moving all my old files over from the hard drive on to my new computer. I've attached the hard drive with a USB/IDE interface...

Maybe this question should go in the Windows forum rather than the OE one but I'll try here first. My old computer died but the hard drive survived. I'm in the process of copying all my old data over...

Bingo! That's exactly it! My university requires that dissertations be set to exactly 24 point, instead of just plain old double spaced. I changed the paragraph mark for the picture to a different...

Hi Phil,

Thanks for the response. When I go to Format/Picture, they do appear to be inline. Just to clarify, it isn't that the text is showing "through" the pictures, so much as that only 1 "line"...

Yes, changing the Macro setting enabled me to run the macro. Thanks!

Unfortunately, the macro didn't work quite right. Sometimes it inserted a space between the colon and the numeral when there...

The pictures are already set to inline, so I don't think that's the source of the problem.

In addition to the margin issue that I mentioned in my original post, some of my pictures are also...

When I try running Find/Replace, I get "The Find What text contains a...

Wow, thanks for the fast response. I see the setting, however it doesn't seem to be working. That is, whenever I print it still seems to draw all the paper from a single tray. I've tried playing with...

Is there any way to insert a couple of different options for boilerplate text in a Word template? For example, "I will be attending the [A/B] meetings in [LOCATION A/LOCATION B] on [DATE A/DATE B]...
