Why isn't my language proofing tool showing up after I installed it?! I've already tried restarting, but it's still not recognizing anything. What gives?

p.s.-Microsoft Office Word 2010

Alexander Wells82 said:When you ship via FedEx/UPS, there's an option for the recipient to cover the shipping costs.

For any other type—certified/insured/package—the sender usually covers the shipping.
So if you go that route: COD amount = item price + shipping cost (assuming you agreed the buyer pays shipping).

so when they pick it up, the receiver pays everything, but what am I actually paying at the counter?! the shipping or...😕

It would basically look like this:http://forum.us/showthread.php?t=258202

Shipping COD costs $8.25. You need to agree with the recipient beforehand on who's footing the bill. If the recipient is paying, you have to increase the total amount by $8.25 (like in the example above where it's $33, so you'd set it to $42). If you're paying, just stick to $33.

so does that apply to express or certified mail too? now I'm just confused.😢

I'm just trying to send one DVD. So I'll do certified, with the recipient paying shipping... which means they pay the value, say $17 plus shipping $5.50= $22, and that's the total COD I get back... do I write that on the paper myself or does the clerk at the post office handle it?

What's the safest way to ship a CD or DVD?

I've mostly just been shipping books via FedEx, where the buyer just pays the COD amount (the value of the books) upon delivery
But this part confused me:

Basically, it weighs about 10 ounces.
Shipping for a certified mail item under 50 grams, with COD - $5.50
On the package, you write: COD = $9.00

When I ship stuff, the COD is just the book value—say, $33 2 books—and the recipient covers the shipping, so I just pay $33. Is that right?! :S (Based on what's quoted here, they'd have to pay $137.80 since the shipping would be $13))

Also, I know it varies by person, but seriously, what's the standard going rate for CDs/DVDs? I don't want to price them too high or too low. I'm looking to sell an entire 11-DVD series, but instead of sending everything at once, I'll send one first as a test. If they like it, then I'll send the rest.

Help 🙂

Just wondering... okay, Adobe... what am I actually getting myself into here? 😕Look, I wasn't even talking about trimming the footage, just the file size... but whatever. No big deal. I just downloaded a new one.

Daniel Robinson4 said:Look, you can find whatever format you want in HD. My advice? Just grab a Blu-ray rip using DivX—maybe 1280 * 720. It'll be around 1-2 GB. Besides, you don't even have a DVD rip of Harry Potter 7 part 2 yet, let alone a Blu-ray rip. Just wait a bit and download a DVD rip instead; the picture is fine and you won't have to convert anything. I have no idea where you found that 8 GB file, because usually, a Blu-ray rip is best, then DVD rip, and everything else is just garbage (TS, CAM...).

I get it. That was the only one being offered, so I grabbed it. But alright, lesson learned for next time.

wanderingfox42 said:Hey there! 🙂

...so, I've got a Word question...
Does anyone know how I can take a style I built in one document and apply it to every new document I make?
(...and I don't want to have to use the original document as some kind of template every single time...)

Just set it up in your options/settings... what version of Word are you running?

Douglas Garcia52 said:you can compress it, but you're gonna wreck the picture quality. better just grab a new one between 700MB and 1.3GB🙂
if we're talking about downloading movies in HD, that's a whole different ballgame😁

so what software would I even use to shrink it... just asking... yeah, fine, I'll just download a new one😁

Jerry Ross74 said:Exactly!! That’s just not gonna work!!!!

Fine, I get it now.
But seriously, how do I shrink a movie file?
I just downloaded Harry Potter part 2 and it's sitting at 8.04GB... is there actually a way to downsize this thing or should I just find a different version to download?

Joshua Garcia3 said:It all comes down to a few things:

- your PC setup (CPU and RAM)
- the file size (whether it's a 700MB CD or a 4.3GB DVD)
- the resolution you're aiming for and the quality settings
- etc.
- there’s no magic wand here. It's all about your hardware and how you set up the software. 🙂

CPU is 2.6GHz
RAM is 2GB
The movie is 1.35GB (so a standard DVD)
I'm converting to HD Video, trying to get it looking sharp (that's why I'm using HD Video)
p.s.—the movie is about 2 hours long, but the conversion takes twice as long, like 4 hours... driving me nuts.

Anyone got a clue?!

How do I "speed up" the subtitle syncing process in HandBrake? It’s taking forever... at least 3 hours. Is there any way to make this go faster? Or does it just depend on the movie? Because it takes this long no matter what I throw at it.

Downloaded a movie and BS Player immediately loaded a subtitle that’s only right for about 70% of the runtime. After that, it starts lagging or jumping ahead by a minute or two at a time. Tried fixing it with a Time Machine, Subtitle Edit, and even the Workshop, but nothing works. Apparently, this one is just "perfect" as is.

I did... still nothing.

Thanks, but it’s not doing much for me.
Every time I click on WLM, I just get an error message and nothing else happens... just stuck in a loop... 🤷🤷

how do I "activate" Outlook on W7???
