    - Hidden Folders I back up selected files and folders to a portable Iomega USB 250GGB hard drive, using Iomega backup software "Iomega Automatic Backup Pro" The software lets you create a backup data set folder into which the desired files and folders to be backed up are copied into. You can create multiple backup sets, and I currently have four. But for some reason, while the older three display and behave normally, the most recent backup set folder does not appear in My Computer or Windows Explorer. However, I'm certain the backup folder is present on the drive, for the following three reasons: 1. When I request a backup to that folder, during the copy process the Iomega software provides a running list of files being backed up 2. During backup, the external hard drive is in continuous read/write motion, and finally 3. I used Properties to check the hard drive capacity before and after. It increased by about 7 GB, the approximate volume of the other backup sets. So why do three appear, while the fourth is invisible. I've checked to ensure that folder options display both hidden and system files. Is there some other way a folder could remain hidden? Or should I pay Iomega their $25 pound of flesh for tech support? -- PT Tag: Status bar missing Tag: 100932

    - no spell check in word - 2007 Hi there. Word is not helping me at all. It seems as if Word has no spell checker installed. I even un-installed the whole package with no luck. Words spelled incorrectly aren't marked red and therefor no option to correct it. Another funny thing is that New documents after opening word, start at Document2.

    - How do I avoid wasting space with a large picture in my document? Hello, I have a Word document (Word 2003 if it makes any difference), and I want to insert a flowchart that I created in PowerPoint as a picture. The flowchart is pretty much the full size of a sheet of paper. My problem is that if I insert the picture, it goes into the text where I inserted it. Normally this is exactly what I want, but in this case, I would prefer it if the text before and after the picture would move around to fill up the space before the picture, rather than leaving a (potentially) large amount of space on the last page before the picture. Can this be done? If so, how? I hope this is clear. If anyone has any ideas, I would be very grateful.

    - Email "Send-To" Question Our church office has begun using MS Word 2002 to email a newsletter, using the File>>Send To>>>Mail Recipient function. So far, no complaints, but I was asked a couple questions I couldn't answer - What happens if the recipient does not have Word installed? How about incompatibility between Word versions? I can't find any incompatibility issues on the computers I've checked, but I cannot find anybody who does not have Word installed on their computer. Is this a problem waiting to happen?

    - Can't delete file after rename/save as So I am going about converting my .doc files to .docx files. (I don't know the compelling logic behind the change of extension, but it has definitely been a big productivity boost for me.) I load a .doc file and "Save as" ,docx. Now I have 2 files with the same name and a different extension. Since I opened it from Explorer, I just Alt-Tab back and try to delete the old one. But it won't let me do that. Even thogh Word is no longer editing the old one, the error message says that it is. I have to close the new one before I can delete the old one. Do these guys do any testing at all? Is there a utility that will convert all of the docs in a folder to the new format and erase the old ones? I tried just renaming it, but then Word is too stupid to load it. Too simple and obvious, I guess. Anyone have a better method? I have several thousand to do. I am actually starting to like at least some of the new features, but the migration plan is a disaster.

    - Setting options globally (2007) I am having trouble getting settings to apply to *ALL* documents. Perhaps I need a tutorial on global vs local settings. If I change some setting, how do I know whether it applies to thay document, to all documents based on that template, or all documents period? The settings I just struggled with are (a) display hidden text and (b) a printer option to display all colors as black. In both cases, I changed the settings in one document, but would like them to apply to all documents. I have thousands of documents and dozens of templates. I really don't want to change them all manually. -- Office 2007 Pro on WinXP Tag: Status bar missing Tag: 100837

    - can lost doc be recovered from system? I just purchased a laptop w/Vista OS. I have a Western Digital external USB hard driive connected where I save all of my Word Docs. I installed Office XP on this laptop w/Vista OS and began editing a doc. I worked many, many hours on the doc and a message appeared telliing me it could not save a .tmp file. The document is now lost. I saved it about every 3-5 minutes while working on it. It is no longer on my external WD hard drive. I hope it is still recoverable somehow from the computer. I have searched everywhere for both the name of the original file AND the name of the .tmp file that is lost. I then copied the entire WD HD contents to the desktop and it copied all files except this .tmp file. That is how I was able to get the name of the file, when I was informed that it could not be copied to the new location. Can anyone please advise how I can search on the computer for a backup copy of this file. Needless to say, I began revising the doc as soon as I got the computer before enabling any backup system! -- LuLu Tag: Status bar missing Tag: 100770

    - Copying macros, keybord shortcuts, icons from 2000 to 2007? Just installed 2007 on new computers. Had been using 2000. I had 8-10 fairly simple macros. What the best way to get them over to Word 2007 on the new computers? Both PCs are networked. Should I open the VBA editor on 2000, paste the macro text into a shared file, then open the VBA editor on the 2007 PC, and copy-and-paste the macro text into that editor? Some were assigned to keyboard shortcuts. Do I just reassign those manually? I had defined 4-5 custom toolbar icons such a adding "..." to the New, Save, and Print icons to get them to open up their dialog boxes. How can I copy those custom icons over?

I'm not even sure if status bar is what you call the line that shows up at
the bottom and shows any error messages, the page number, etc. I can't seem
