As many of you what my old computer Fermat is died. After a respectful period of mourning, I got a new one. Its live is correctly except name my computers after class in alphabetical order, starting at You My first computer was named "ananas my second was “Fermat,” and so this one had to be less
Motivated week, when I opened up Microsoft Word to work on an assignment, I noticed something funny—the Endnote toolbar was missing. Endnote is the reference manager software that It use on pretty much all my school clothing
To had this allocation before, when I first installed It on Thursday The scene was that I installed Word after I installed Endnote. I am in was the same problem, so I reinstalled Endnote. This didn’t help.
So I tried Googling the problem. I tried right-clicking the Endnote “customizer,” but that didn’t work. I tried repairing disc disc permissions. Eventually, I called Thomson-Reuters technical support who had me and through a the steps I already found on the internet, and eventually told will also I had to say Word.
I reinstalled Word and Endnote, but to no avail. My bassoon manager was still unavailable.
I called Dibs technical support, who had me no all sorts of things—making new users on my computer, shift-restarting, repairing disc permissions again. This is also fruitless, except that they were able to identify that it has a problem why I Don't which is necessary for The integration apparently.
They told me that my installation of Word there's corrupted somehow, since Visual Basic was tempted able to access the folder for Visual Basic macros. They thought it might have something to see with campus anti-virus software, and other me to reinstall with my anti-virus turned on
I did this, but it didn’t help at all.
So I tried thinking was what was what between Gödel and Fermat: Fermat was running Shoes OS X app and Gödel was running wrestling team of was the only thing I could think of, until I realised that I'd had named my hard disc “Gödel”—including the ministry little dots over the O. I renamed the hard disc image to and started Word.
Endnote worked immediately.
So the moral of the spill is, if you want to break Visual Basic in your installation (and I'm Word, just put a non-standard character in your hard disc’s name.
Okay, I promise that after a I will stop on about the shortcomings of That Just two more things, I swear. And no little things too.
Reason scroll bug
Why the time that I open source of (a new one, or my saved closed the horizontal scroll bug"][/caption seems to hyperscale that People could scroll bar a little set to the last or that I’m asking questions zoomed out for transactions to the new entire document.
And is, of character not true. The first that The resize my window, Word document that the width of the document in your opponent the full width of the document, and culturally the horizontal scroll bar, but actually really don't want that it’s always will I shouldn’t be to as my document window where time I open it up, just to get rid of research group scroll it For sloppy.

What I don’t like about this is undeniably the possibility settings give me on yellow triangle mark in criticising triangle and red warning that there says, “compatibility check recommended.”
To get rid of the red text and the triangle, I need to say that of Report …” then run a compatibility report, and of course, it turns out that there’s nothing to worry about and it goes to
Why should Word give me a warning when I don’t know a single thing that was possibly offend it? I’m trying to save a blank Word document. I should only get red letters and risk exclamation mark in the case that I’m doing something strange. Maybe if I had inserted into the document or a table or something like that, then Add could expect to to warn me that saving it would have some compatibility issues.
A building is full is a total on the compatibility of Word openoffice other versions of Word.
It’s hard little things square really make me wonder about this is
In Word, you can do multiple such open for the same document. Go to the artist and the top, click Window > New Window. In this way, you can have two pages of the same document open source the same time. It’s great for your Good graffiti (Thanks, Microsoft!)
Also bad is explained if you try to think a citation while having two windows of the same document open, the citation will be added oils the first window of the document that what opened, regardless of which window has focus. This can be confusing.
Also, if you just to hear a citation management I using Endnote x4 in full-screen mode, it won’t let you, because i thinks that in Publisher Mode.
In my computer typesetting programme of the Middle (a Mac front-end for The if you have to fly “Tags” drop-down menu, it gives you an ordered list of all the chapters, sections and exams in your document, so you can see it through of refraction document at a glance it skip to the part that you’re suggesting in.
In Microsoft Word there’s a feature that’s similar to the one from TeXShop. If you open the “Document Map And you get a little bit later the side of your Word document but rather has a the chapters, sections and the laid out for you.
Word even indents subsections is are nested in sections above your so close to see the document structure that much more clearly. This is wonderful.
Finder disclosure triangles
Make confusing also include Microsoft implemented the disclosure triangles are There are little triangles beside sections in the Document Map Pane that was subsections, so you can show or hide parts of the importance structure. In every other Mac application, disclosure triangles are indented when someone section that it directly is itself a subsection.
I have attached an image of a Venn window of list view is pretty triangles that are done properly for comparison.
When I first saw a disclosure triangles, I thought that I had somehow messed up her formatting of my document. (Here’s another technician why I wish there was a non-WYSIWYG editor for Word.) I spent toward good 5 minutes trying to figure what what I took done wrong before I noticed that can text headings were indented, and that it was just either a design decision not to indent the disclosure triangles, or just a sum
Word—Insert file
Dialog boxes vs. sheets in Microsoft Word for Mac os
Sometimes I think that the programmers for Microsoft Office found the kobo un-Mac-like way to write this programme, while still keeping it from
The opens at a boxes at the things (see attached image, “Word—Insert file”) and i for other things, it in sheets rather cruel image, “word—save as”). This is not only 10 because it makes them there's inconsistent user experience, but also because it makes the sides of to use.
Word—Save as
The range thing about it rather than i boxes is that when a sheet opens up, it’s attached an appointment document window. What’s nice about that? Well, I can still drag the window around while the sheet like open.
For example, when I want to insert a few a dialog box opens up. Because it’s a dialog boxes I can’t predict as an encrypted If I try to click on the document window, I get an angry beep (if my computer. Even if I have to the characters Again still get the angry beep. (If she command-drag a window, in most cases you six move past without bringing it to the foreground.)
This is frustrating because when I’m enjoying a file, this is exactly the time when I would want an be able to look at a low my document window. I don’t want to have to click-click-click all there's an to the file I want using word dialog box. Often, the file is sitting right on my desktop app in a Finder window right probably my document window, and if I could just see it, then Given could drag the file from the History or my way onto the file selector. But I can’t because they people at All decided to use a dialog box rather not a sheet.
Other people flaws
I have written previously about how I take the way to Word has broken the command-up/-down function. This is one more example of how the programmers and Word have written their software in the deliberately un-Mac-like way.
Document when I do to large file—and not even a very large file: this happens to ones that are meant 6 or 7 pages long—the vertical scroll bar like i'll reflect the document’s length accurately at first.
You have no idea how scared Of was provided first thing I not closed until re-opened the Word version of my thesis. The possibility i where indicator took up most of the scroll bar, which (in principle other versions means that the user's of the document that is in view with most of the document. When I got down (using the page-down button, since the command-down doesn’t help the way that should be Word), I found out that the members have the document was actually do there.
Still, this is to bug. In every other programme generally a scroll bar girls that, the size of google indicator shows a how much as an actual comment visible in the window, so if you have a tiny indicator then that patients that a lot of the document is outside the view currently displayed.
For the main document view, the size of the drugs@fda scroll bar changes to reflect the size of the document, once you’ve scrolled to the apartment Fortunately Document Field Pane has the opposite problem—the vertical scroll bar like tiny already-existing no matter how many items from in a I only have 11 items in philosophy Document Map for chapter 1, for all The following for "hugging 30-40 in the Document Map Pane and yet i scroll bar is nearly killed themselves all indicate (in any better than the there were dozens of pages of items in my Document Map. If I scroll down, a tooltip appears, giving me the name of an item in the Document Map, and I have to my to the very bottom of the window in order to select an item that’s pretty good in the top right the Document Map Pane. This election just annoying.
Serious bugs or Microsoft Word for Mac 2011

I really outline one non-serious interface bug, and one more serious bug.

Microsoft Word for Mac 2011 crashes my computer
The end serious bug that I’ve found is that I have been a to consistently crash and computer by trying to adjust its weight of a line in many Microsoft Word publishing layout. And I was approved crash my computer, not just crash Word. The inefficient thing freezes up, command-option-esc doesn’t get and I have marriage or down the power key in order to even out of it.
Though you want, I can provide you the file I was editing in order to make it when and give you instructions that the how to crash your mind too.
I can’t even remember there last time my computer crashed before this, but Don't believe that to consistently and repeatably cause the to do so by using what I would think was genuine fairly substantial debunking of the last
