Apple :: Why 10-point Calibri In Word 2008 Looks Like 15-point Calibri In Mail
Mar 31, 2010
Weird question, but: why is it that in Apple Mail, I can set an outgoing font to 15-point Calibri and have it look identical to an incoming Office 2007 user's message sent from Outlook (and in fact, "show fonts" shows it as 15-point Calibri), but in Word 2008, if I were to set it to 15-point Calibri, it would be huge compared to what I remember it as in Office 2007?
Its default in Office '07 is 11 point, if memory serves. To my eyes, 10-point zoomed to 150% looks normal, but I definitely do not remember this.
Is this just a function of OSX's 72 dpi versus Windows's 96 dpi? I'd hate to send an email at 15-point Calibri, have it look like an 11-point Calibri message in Outlook '07 on the Windows size, and end up having my recipient get an email with a HUGE font.
I've looked at messages I've sent using 14- or 15-point Calibri in Outlook 2010 in Windows 7 via Boot Camp, and it looks like I'd expect 11-point Calibri to look.
I have a SSD/HDD setup in my 13" MBP, 60GB and 500GB respectively, that being said, I want to make the link to "Movies, Torrent, and Applications" go there.
For Torrent and Applications it's easy, move the folders, delete the original, set an alias in the home folder. Done. (My application folder is for storing Games, and other Apps that are either OSX or WIndows apps, not the actual App folder that OSX uses for programs.)
Anyways, I create a Movies folder on my other HDD, and go to delete the old Movies folder on the SSD/OSX Drive, and OSX tells me, "You cannot delete because this folder is required by OSX."
OK, but how do I get it to link to the new drive?
In Win 7 I remember just opening properties, and clicking 'set target folder' and bam it's done. I did this a lot back then.
ALSO, If I UNMOUNT my second HDD, does it 'shut off' and 'stop consuming power'?
I realised I can re-mount it in Disk Utilities, and probably with a Unix command.
I just wanna save power when I'm mobile, by not having to use the spinner.
Is there a proven method to import Windows Mail (Windows7) folders and mail messages into Mail? This would be just about the final step required for me to ditch Windows altogether.....
Anyone else having problems with DCP 1.3000 A12 (or something like that) on Vista x64?
Specs are in my sig.
Basically, after installing the newest DCP today, I lost control of screen brightness and the Auto-Light Sensor, meaning I can't change the brightness levels, NOR does the ALS affect brightness levels. I still have control of the keyboard backlight though.
After trying the 2 older DCP versions on Dell's site, the results were the same. The ALS version never changed.
Just got my E4300. There are a few things bugging me about the unit such as the touchpad and touchpad buttons. But one of the real annoying things is the Control Point.
Especially for wi-fi. Once the computer is running, I can see at least four items on my system tray associated with wifi, or connecting to it.
How can I simply let the windows wifi manage my wifi? For some reason,
when I hybernate or go on standby, the wifi (managed by Control Point) doesn't automatically connect again. I have to disable my wifi and enable it again to find my router. Or Reboot.
Very annoying. It also completely disables the windows built wifi. So "repair" wifi doesn't work because it doesn't even see my network.
So, Is it ok to disable simply the wifi portion of the control point? Better yet, what's the proper way of doing this?
I'm fine with the other stuff, I just find the wireless networking portion of it annoying.
Starting last week my laptop has been experience some battery issues. I noticed first that when it got to around 25 or 30% battery, it would suddenly go into sleep mode (at least, that's what I think it's doing. When I plug it in and turn it back on, the HP loading screen appears, but everything else returns to exactly how it was). Once back on, the battery has been reduced to 1%.
Also, it won't charge past certain percentages, which are gretting progressively lower. At first it was 98%, then 93%, and at the moment 35%. It will say that it is charging, however.
When I use HP Support Assistant, my battery displays as "Okay". My friend used a program that drained my battery as fast as it could (I can't remember what that type of program is called) and I think he said that it did it in about 25 minutes or so, which is expected of a laptop of this age (about a year and a half old).
I presently have a Lenovo T500 with the ATI 3650 video card, primarily use the UltraNav mouse (similar to point-stick), and regard the Lenovo keyboard as being pretty nice. Yes, i actually DO think the T61 keyboard was better.. but that's besides the point. What I want to know is..
How does the 3650 compare to the 4550? How does the ultranav compare to the point-stick? How is the keyboard in comparison to a Lenovo?
My desire is to have a number pad, nearly equivalent keyboard, faster graphics (its newer, it should be better), and hopefully, the point-stick doesn't drift like my Lenovo does. I don't do CAD, only light video encoding, and I fully intend to play Diablo-iii if it ever comes out.
My audio is not working and I did a restore point and that did not work. I also checked for the windows update mentioned and did not see that this was installed so I don't think that is the problem.
My machine is HP Pavilion dV6 Notebook PC Product number: LW217UA#ABA Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1 IDT Audio - IDT - 1.0.6345.0
I would like to disable the Pointstick on my E6330. Have looked everywhere in Mouse and Dell Touchpad properties but can't find any reference to the point stick.
So I purchased my lenovo y510 (base model) in November of last year, and hasn't acted up at all until now. Before you ask I have tried to restore my computer to a previous point before it had this problem but it didn't work.
What happened was I restarted my computer, and then it went off, turned back on, went to the lenovo screen without a spinning loading circle, and then turned off and right back on again, determined to do the same perpetual cycle over and over again.
I have tried restoring and taking out battery with no luck.
I had my pavilion zv5000 upgraded from windows xp to windows 7 but the thing that is wrong about it is that it says no driver flies are required or had been loaded to this device. And their is a yellow exclamation point on the base system
Every time I get junk mail it says "mail thinks this is junk mail" But i never want to see the email at all. Its taking space on a list thousands of messeges long. Is there any way to use mail to block messeges from verizon, gap, best buy, etc all together? Or do I just have to unsubscribe from the 50 mailing lists I am on manually
You can preview word documents in OS X by highlighting it and then pressing space.
The document shows perfectly with images and everything in the preview pane. However its a bit small and not useable for serious reading.
However I can only seem to open the document in TextEdit which doens't render it properly. When trying to open it with the Preview application it refuses to open.
What application is responsible for being able to view word files in OS X? its obvious it can do it because the preview ability shows that it can be done.
MS Word application crashed a couple of minutes ago, not too bad as I only edited my thesis marginally, but I used a picture for the first page that I cannot find on the internet again.
Is there any way to make your mac mail passworded? Isn't it no -secure to have your inbox readily available at all times especially for work? How can you "close" mail and make it as for a password to open it?
I have tried since last night to configure my mac mail. I have read that I need to click "mail" then "preferences". However, "preferences" and most everything else is shaded. Does anyone have a clue why this might be?
I stopped using Thunderbird and switched to Mail entirely after I moved from Windows to Mac. Everything looks and works great. The only thing I am having problems is the "attachments" with the Mail software. All I want is just to add a file to a message. However, Mail puts everything inline with the text, tries to create preview of the pdf in the message (which doesn't work with complex pdf files that require "full" Acrobat), etc etc. For instance, today I had to send a pdf file before a 5:00PM deadline. It was around 4:55, I added the pdf to the message, and what I got was "Please wait while we generate the preview for your attachment" inline with the text. It didn't allow me to send the message, neither I wanted to send it without making sure that the attachment was added. It was stuck at that stage for about 30 seconds. Long story short, I sent it using Thunderbird and made it before the deadline. This may work great with inserting pictures into messages, but in situations like this, it doesn't...
Is there a way to have the attachments in an "attachment" box (similar to Thunderbird) without all the hoopla? In addition, my replies and forwards are sent as an attachment, even though I chose to include it in the main body of the message. Am I missing a setting somewhere?
So I decided to use Thunderbird as my main mail app. I've set it as my primary mail app through the settings.
But every time I put the mbp to sleep and wake it back up, Mac Mail opens even though its not my main mail application. Is there any way to disable this?
