A friend was just telling me—and I have to agree—that pulling this off would be virtually impossible without having some pretty serious technical expertise under your belt.

For five days out of every single week, I find myself away from home due to my work travels—essentially living out of a suitcase—and I am looking to bring a small laptop along so I can stay connected to the internet. Within a roughly 100-yard radius of where I stay, there are about ten different wireless networks, all of which are password-protected.
A friend of mine actually sent me this link suggesting I look into this specific offer, but I am honestly torn—is this a legitimate solution for my situation, or is it just some clever way to scam people out of their hard-earned money?
The seller claims to be offering some sort of Wi-Fi booster equipped with an antenna capable of picking up weak signals from up to 500 meters away—which sounds plausible enough—but what really confuses me is the claim that they also sell software designed to scan for locked networks and unlock them without any trouble.
Is this actually technologically possible, or is it just a complete fraud? Because if it works the way he says, it implies that anyone could just hop onto my own Wi-Fi network whenever they felt like it.
Does anyone here have any insight into

Here you go—this is a screenshot of the folder WindowsImageBackup

Oh boy—I just went ahead and ran the "create a system image" process, and after about ten minutes of waiting, I ended up with a folder named "WindowsImageBackup" that's sitting at 7.6 GB. Now, I’m feeling a bit lost—how exactly am I supposed to actually perform a restore when the time comes?

I'll give it a shot. There is still one thing that isn't quite clicking for me—how exactly does the backup actually launch? Is it by selecting create system image or should I be going through set up backup? From what I can tell, the two processes seem to be entirely different things
.

I’ve been planning to back up my C: drive system partition—really important stuff—and I was actually stuck deciding which software to install (Paragon backup & recovery vs. EaseUS todo backup). However, I stumbled upon something today while browsing: it turns out Windows 7 actually comes with its own built-in backup tool.
Now, I find myself wondering—honestly, why bother installing third-party software if the functionality is already right there in the OS? That said, I am curious about the actual differences between the native tool and those two options mentioned above.
Will the built-in version actually get the job done as reliably and effectively as those specialized programs?

I can't quite recall where I stumbled upon this claim: "If you're running Windows 7, there's really no need to manually trigger a disk defrag—it just runs automatically whenever the system hits an idle state."
Does anyone know if that’s actually true? I just pulled up the defragmenter tool here on my Windows 7 machine, but I don't see any mention of an automatic scheduling feature anywhere in the interface.

Walter Jackson48 said:Just highlight the column you want to get rid of—then use the merge cells tool to combine everything in that column together. After that, go to the borders menu (it’s that little dropdown icon with the grid squares) and select "No Border."
The highlighted column will effectively disappear.

That’s heading in the right direction, but it doesn't quite solve my problem.
That just hides the column—it's still sitting there, fundamentally tied to the rest of the table.
For instance, if I increase the height of the last cell in the first row, the entire row expands automatically—which makes sense, since it's all one single entity.
What I actually need are two distinct tables—completely independent of one another.
Is it simply impossible to do this in Microsoft Word?

If that isn't an option, maybe this would work:
I could draw one table, and then try to insert a second one right next to it. Something similar to how you handle images when you use text wrapping.
The issue is that whenever I place my cursor to the right of the table and try to move further right using the spacebar, it won't let me.

Every single table I attempt to insert ends up snapping directly against the previous one.

When I want to split a table vertically, I just select a row, navigate to table/split table, and it works perfectly—it splits into two separate tables stacked on top of each other.
However, when I attempt to split it horizontally by selecting a column and clicking table/split table, nothing happens—the cursor just jumps to the very top of the table instead of performing the split.
Could someone please help me figure out how to achieve this?

I am having the exact opposite problem here—I am trying to get two tables to sit side-by-side horizontally, but I just can't make it work in Word.

There is one specific task I simply cannot seem to master in Microsoft Word—though I find it hard to believe it’s actually impossible.
When I want to split a table horizontally, I just select a row, head over to table/split table and it works perfectly—it slices the table into two separate parts, one sitting right below the other.
However, when my goal is to split it vertically, I select a column and try using table/split table instead, but it refuses to cooperate; the cursor just jumps straight to the top of the table without doing anything at all.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to achieve this?

It’s happening again—after I input that specific formula, instead of getting the actual result, I just get Microsoft

Walter Jackson48 said:If you really need it to include the value in cell E89 for some reason—though I'm not quite sure why—you can just type this formula directly into E89:

=IF(E4😈88="";"";SUM(E4😈88)), and once you've typed it out, make sure to hit Ctrl + Shift + enter to activate it. You should end up with a formula that looks like this:
{=IF(E4😈88="";"";SUM(E4😈88))}.

I tried all of that, but honestly, nothing changed—the result is still coming up as zero. I find it hard to believe that something should be this complicated!
Is there actually a way in Excel to convert every one of those figures into seconds?
Basically, I want something like 03:20 to show up as 200 sec, so then adding everything up becomes a breeze.

I went ahead and reformatted the cells and even tried re-entering all the values from scratch—but honestly, I'm still staring at the exact same result.

It simply won't work—no matter how many times I try. I selected the entire range and went under format/cells-number-custom to select h:mm.
Then, I highlighted all those cells again and clicked autosum, expecting a miracle, but all I get is that stagnant =SUM() formula sitting there at the bottom
. When I attempt to manually type out the formula, specifically =SUM(E4😈88), the result stubbornly displays as 0:00
.

Understood—but how exactly am I supposed to convert something like 01:12 into 1:12?
I have a massive amount of cells here—practically a million, if you can believe it—so there is absolutely no way I can go through and fix them all by hand.

I am having a bit of a struggle here—I just can't seem to get these values from column E to aggregate properly.
Here is the file in question http://www.2shared.com/document/8Z4w...d_poziva.html? so if anyone might be willing to walk me through the steps to make this work, I would truly appreciate the help.

I Excel has a column where I've listed values in minutes and seconds—and now, I need to sum them all up.
Does anyone happen to know the best way to pull this off?
Here is what my data looks like:

00:23
01:58
01:25
00:16
03:33
01:57
00:50
01:18
00:32
00:47
01:26
00:29
00:27
00:32
00:11
03:37
00:13
01:07

Alright, if you're up for it, could you walk me through how I can set things up so that when I hover my mouse over an image or a block of text, those little pop-up balloon tips—you know, the ones with the descriptive text—actually show up?

Well, I suppose I have some experience—I’ve been working in Word for over ten years now, and I’ve even put together a few basic websites myself. My hope was that if he had exactly what I’m looking for, I wouldn't have to jump ship to entirely different software packages.
If it turns out he can't handle it, then I guess my only option is to bite the bullet and try something else entirely.
Actually, I just stumbled upon an old disc containing Adobe Dreamweaver CS4, so I might just give that a shot if I can make sense of the instructions.

I have been attempting to execute a specific task in Word 2010—though I’ve used the 2007 and 2003 versions in the past as well—but I am hitting a complete standstill; frankly, even after scouring the help files, I feel more confused than when I started.
There are two distinct features I am trying to implement:
1 - A tooltip—you know, that little text box that appears when you hover your mouse over an image or a block of text.
2 - A functional drop-down menu that offers a variety of different options to the user.

I actually ventured into the web tools palette and attempted to select the dropdown box, which does indeed generate a field, but for some reason, it remains completely unresponsive to any typing on my part.
Does anyone here happen to have any insight into how to resolve this?
