Thanks so much. I would've been banging my head against the wall trying to fix this myself for days... you made it happen instantly 🙂!
Thanks again.
I really need some help here.

I’m cleaning up a thesis, and I just noticed something broken. The very first footnote in the paper starts with number 3 😕 , and everything after that follows sequentially. The problem is there aren't even any footnotes numbered 1 or 2. When I try to insert a new citation, it automatically jumps straight to 3 instead of starting at 1 where it should be. What's going on? 🤷
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know.

I'm working on a paper in Word using several different sources. Right now, I'm reading one specific paper that I need to finish reading so I can incorporate parts of it into my own work. Is there any way to view both at the same time? I mean, having them both on my screen simultaneously without having to constantly minimize my document just to click on the other one to read a snippet...

If anyone knows a way to do this, please let me know. Working this way is incredibly slow, and I'm losing my mind jumping back and forth between documents all day.

Thanks in advance 🙂 .

Quoting myself because I see my post was moved. Just to be clear, I wasn't just asking about Office programs. I want to be able to write in Word while reading a PDF at the same time, and so on 🙂 .
I could really use some help or advice here. Hopefully, I'm making sense...
I’m working on a paper in Word using a bunch of different sources. Right now, I’m trying to read through one specific paper so I can pull parts of it into my own work. Is there any way to view both documents side-by-side? I don't want to keep clicking back and forth, minimizing my main document just to peek at the other one every single time...

If anyone knows a way to do this, please let me know. This constant switching is slowing me down and it's easy to lose my place...

Thanks in advance 🙂 .
Kyle Johnson2 said:You didn't mention which version of Word we're even talking about...

Just hit Ctrl + a to select everything, then click the Normal style... simple enough.
If you want to grab just one specific style, go ahead and click the selection option within the styles menu. For instance, if you’re looking for Heading2 =, just hit that selection button to highlight everything tied to it. In Word 2007, you can see how that works in the fifth image...Style selection...Or if you're using Word 2003, just check out the eighteenth picture... At this link....

I’d suggest you go watch some tutorials...
- If you're trying to build a Table of Contents in Word 2003, it's pretty straightforward, though the interface feels like a relic... First, you need to make sure you've actually used Heading styles for your titles. If everything is just plain text, the program won't know what to pull into the list. Highlight your headings, go to the Styles menu, and pick a heading level. Once that's set, head over to the References tab, click "Table of Contents," and pick a style. It'll grab everything you tagged and lay it out. If you change your headings later, don't forget to right-click the table and hit "Update Field" or it'll be useless... simple enough, I guess.
- If you want to build a Table of Contents in Word 2007, here’s how you do it... First, you need to actually use styles. If you don't tag your headings, the program won't know what to pull into the list. Go through your document and apply Heading styles to everything that needs to be included. Once that's set, head over to the References tab. You'll see the Table of Contents option right there. Click it, pick a style, and you're done. Just remember, if you change your headings later, the table won't magically fix itself. You have to manually tell it to update the entire table... otherwise, your page numbers will be useless.

Thanks for the help. I've done this exact same thing countless times before without an issue, so I have no clue why it suddenly decided to glitch on me this time... Managed to get it sorted out though. Thanks. 😉 .
Jack Hayes said:All those text segments probably have Heading 1 or Heading 2 styles applied. Click the link and check once you get to the document. Then try changing the style to something else—like Normal—to see if it sticks. It’s the same mess I dealt with when a coworker handed me a thumb drive to print; the formatting, images, tables... everything comes along for the ride. 🙂

Thanks for the reply, but I can't just drop the content as links right now. I need to do this "old school." Is there a way to strip all those headings away in one go so I can start over? Or some other way to actually see which text is stuck in which Heading?

No clue how this even happened 🤷.
I am losing my mind trying to build a Table of Contents in Microsoft Word right now. I honestly don't know where I'm messing up because I've done this probably ten times before and it was always fine.

So, here’s the deal: I manually tagged my headings and subheadings as Heading 1 and Heading 2, saved everything, and then went to generate the table. Instead of a clean list, it spits out this massive, multi-page mess filled with huge chunks of body text and tables that I definitely didn't mark as any kind of Heading.

I need some help 🙂, I have no clue what to do next... I've always made my contents this way 🤷...

So I went ahead and installed this other program too. This is what shows up under the RAM section, though I'm not even sure if this is what you guys are looking for 😁:

Taylor Morales31 said:Fine. Why does the order matter? Why can't you just remember what an icon looks like or which program it belongs to without having to read the label? Is it really that hard to grasp? After using this thing for two years, I find that taskbar actually helps quite a bit...

Why are you guys showing up here once a week just to complain about nonsense?
If you hate it that much, go build your own OS and leave me alone. Don't annoy me...🙂

@natalie, I see you're running on 1GB of RAM. You should probably grab another GB if you want this thing to actually work. Not sure how heavy your workload is, but 1GB isn't doing you any favors. While you're in Everest, check what specific RAM stick you've got installed...

Thanks for trying to help me 🙂! Sorry, I'm lost. I have no idea where to look to find the specific RAM details. Under "Memory," it just shows the total amount and what's currently in use... What exactly am I looking for? Which spec do I need?

Benjamin King2 said:Download this little tool and list your hardware specs (processor, RAM, motherboard, graphics card...): http://www.piriform.com/speccy

The request seems a bit odd to me. If you're already handling Windows 7 at work without issues, I don't see why you'd need to test it out at home...

Thanks for getting back to me. It’s not just you who thinks the request is weird. We haven't started using that OS at the office yet—that starts Monday. They’re dropping the machines off tomorrow, so we’re still stuck on Windows XP for now. I have this Everest program, which I think is similar to yours, so here are the specs.

I need some advice 🙂.

Work is sending me to some training soon, and they told me I need to have Windows 7 installed because that’s what we use at the office. They’ll be covering the basics, but I want to be able to practice and mess around with it at home too. A coworker mentioned he wasn't sure if my current setup could even handle it, since I bought this PC about seven years ago... How can I tell if it'll work? And if Windows 7 won't run, am I looking at buying a whole new computer, or maybe just a few specific components 😕?

Thanks a lot.

There aren't even any drivers for that keyboard...

James Fisher11 said:The point is, this keyboard doesn't have any indicator lights for Num, Caps, or Scroll lock. I don't really know what kind of answer you're looking for here...🤷

My old Logitech keyboard didn't have indicator lights either, but at least every time I hit Caps Lock, a big green "Caps Lock On" or "Caps Lock Off" message would pop up on my screen.
With this one, you don't even get that. 🤷.
Caps Lock issues on my Logitech keyboard in Computer Peripherals ·
I need some advice here. This might sound stupid, but it's driving me crazy.

I picked up a new wireless combo, a Logitech MK250 keyboard, but I have absolutely no way of knowing if my Caps Lock is on or off. It’s infuriating. There isn't a single indicator light on the keyboard itself, and unlike my old Logitech setup, nothing pops up on my screen to let me know...
What gives? 😕???
I'm honestly at a total loss.
Nicholas King said:A double space between paragraphs just means hitting 🙂 twice at the end of the block. If you're using size 12 font, it's 12 points. If it's size 48, then it's 48.

It all comes down to how "smart" whatever software you're using to generate the PDF actually is. Acrobat handles turning bookmarks into hyperlinks without breaking a sweat...

Thanks a ton 🙂!

Ordering in Word

Thanks, I actually stumbled on that tutorial earlier, but I'm not sure if 12 pt is double spacing? I can set individual spacing, but I don't know what "12" actually means. It feels like double spacing, but I'm not certain...
Can someone help me out? I'm trying to figure out how to set double spacing between paragraphs in Microsoft Office. Is it one of those settings in the paragraph options, maybe 12, or more, or less? 🤷

Thanks in advance.
