Hey,

I'm working in Excel (2010) using nested dependent drop-down lists. If I pick "Fruit" in the first menu, the second one gives me options like banana, apple, or pear. That part works fine. What I actually want is to have an option in the first list that says "Select then Fruit," "Select then Veggies," etc. That's working too. But I can't figure out how to make the second drop-down reset to blank whenever I select that initial "Select" option—I need it to look like nothing was picked. Also, I've got a headache with cell height. I want the row to auto-adjust to the content, but it only happens if I manually trigger the autofit command. I don't want to click that every single time; I want it to be automatic. How do I fix these two issues?
My goal is to pick "Fruit," then "Banana," and then have a description of the banana pop up in the next row. It's almost there, but these two bugs are stopping me. Need help fast. 🙂
Thanks.

Hey,
I'm stuck with Microsoft Word 2007. I've been handed a finished document that I can't mess with—I have to keep it exactly as it is—and I don't even have the permission to set up a template or anything.
It's got headers and footers, and let's say the file is 25 pages long. I've only used 20, so I need to kill those last 5 pages. Here's the catch: I can delete pages 22 through 25 without any drama, but the second I try to wipe out page 21, the headers and footers on the rest of the doc just vanish. If I hit delete after the last bit of text on page 20, the page disappears, but then the whole layout at the top goes to hell. Basically, I need to trim the end of this thing without ruining the formatting or losing my headers and footers.
I'm out of ideas. Googled it and found nothing useful. Send a link or some help if you've got it. Thanks.

A buddy of mine pulled together a massive list of useful language learning links last summer. He was trying to help me pick up some French 🙂
I accidentally wiped my entire Gmail inbox, so those links are gone. I'll hit him up on Messenger once he's free, but he’s got finals right now and so do I. Should have them by the end of the week if you can hang tight.
