MS Word 2008 - toolbar issue
Hi folksLooking for some help to sort out an issue with 'missing' toolbars in Word 2008.System details:iMac (current model) running MacOS 10.6.6MS Office 2008 for Mac: home and studentThere are three user accounts on the computer. 2 users have left all the preference settings as default and are not experiencing any problems. One user 'tweaked' the settings for their preferred font, font size, margins etc. That is the user that is experiencing problems.When opening a new document, or opening an existing file, in word, the toolbars are not visible. When going to View Toolbars the standard and formatting toolbars are already selected. When I deselect the standard toolbar there is no change, but then if I select the standard toolbar again all three toolbars (standard, formatting, review) appear, but only the first one of two items of each toolbar. If I then right click on one of the toolbars, and select 'reset toolbars' the three toolbars the appear correctly. However whenever you open a new document it does retain the changes.From this behavior, and the fact that the other two users are not experiencing the same problem I am assuming that it is an issue with the particular users preferences. So I tried to delete them, except that I could not locate the preference file. I thought it was under the 'microsoft user data' folder but when I trashed that - no change. Other than that I could not find a file that I could identify as the appropriate preference file.Can anybody point me to the correct file to delete and/or reset the user preferences for this user?ThanksDaniel F --TheWAMacintoshUserGroupMailingList-- Archives-http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/archives.shtml Guidelines-http://www.wamug.org.au/mailinglist/guidelines.shtml Unsubscribe-mailto:wamug-unsubscr...@wamug.org.au

Re: Screen Recording software?
Hi all, There are some good products out there. I've settled on Screenflow for the time being. It has a great feature set, and apart from a couple of crashes, is helping me to put together some professional-looking content with a minimal learning curve. Thanks again for all your advice.

MAcbook Air 11 powerbrick?
After going to the Apple store on the weekend to check out the air 11 only to find that: One: all the display laptops have their powerbricks hidden away Two: both the sales staff I spoke too didn't know if the powerbrick for the air 11 was the same as the standard macbook air (one said probably the other said I think it's smaller) So does anybody now if the Air 11's powerbrick is the same unit as the MB pro's (I know that it will be compatible same connecter and will run off a higher wattage (that is if the MB pro brick is a higher wattage). May sound trivial but trying to work out if a netbook bag I've got (that has a very small and narrow pocket for a typical netbook powerbrick) will store the air's brick as the one from my MB pro doesn't fit .. But only just doesn't print. mark.sec...@uwa.edu.au Mark Secker (Ba. Bus.

Re: MAcbook Air 11 powerbrick?
Mark, the power brick for the MacBook air is definitely smaller than a macbook brick. Rather cute, in fact.
