Haven't tried it but you will have to shrink one volume and extend another to the disk space freed up by shrinking the first. Since when you first install it's all one volume, you'll have to shrink, then create new ones as ripken mentioned.

sometimes you can get your windows xp compatible software and drivers to work in vista. right click the program and select properties. then click on the compatiblity tab. then choose windows xp sp2. I got the following working with this: * The Microsoft Office keyboard (I extracted the driver, then changed compatibility and it installed without a problem. Works great!) * Sound driver installed... the first time I ran the configuration utility and closed it, Vista asked me if it ran correctly. I told it it did. No problems. * US Robotics modem driver installed perfectly. * Most of the other programs work without any issues - like Winrar, Winimage, UltraISO, Roboform.

What you need to do is insert a section break. Whether it's a section break continuous or section break next page depends on what you need to accomplish. Most likely, it seems you need section break next page since you want to be able to modify the headers and footers of pages. Once you create the break, play around with header and footer options. You can have different ones for different SECTIONS. If you want a different one for each page, you have to make that many sections.

Is there a way to show the total file size of the current folder you are viewing in the status bar of the explorer windows? It used to display in Windows XP. (See image below.) Sometimes, I think Microsoft is annoying people on purpose. Like the defragmenter in Vista... it doesn't show the GUI anymore. But that's ok.... what's more annoying than that is it doesn't even show you the progress in terms of percentage.

first, click on an entry under "group or username" - preferably Administrations. Then click on Edit, then check full control. The boot screen is nice but it's static. I like to see a progress bar. I need to change it back but after setting it, I'm too lazy to change it back right now.

Ummm. Nevermind. It just needed a reboot to refresh the icons. Reboots... still required... go Microsoft.

I didn't think of that. Thanks for tip. One question, though... since I screwed up my icon for that file type, how do I fix it. Editing the registry for the DefaultIcon does not work. It simply will not take the icon that I want. I even tried deleting the key.

I'm just venting my frustration at Vista's file associations. For one thing, that tab we were familiar with in Windows XP is not there anymore. It was convenient where it was. Now you have to go to control panel. Second thing, the control panel replacement for file associations, called "Default Program", is pathetic since you cannot CREATE your own file association. (I know you can do it in regedit). I usually create a file association for ghost files so ghost images open with ghost explorer (BTW ghost explorer works fine with Vista). So, I created my own file association by adding an entry for *.gho in regedit. Then I used Default Programs to associate Ghost with .gho. But now, I can't change the icon for the file type. It shows the generic file with the program icon in the generic file icon - which is not what I want. I tried to change it in regedit but didn't work. Seems Microsoft improved a few things but messed up a few things at the same time. You just can't win with Microsoft.

Yes, I have plenty of free space on Vista partition - 10 GB to be exact. I don't think it would require more than 10 GB, would it? Anyway, putting computer to sleep doesn't require any HDD space at all - at least it didn't on Windows XP SP2.

Yes it is, according to my device manager. See my screenshot below: Maybe I don't have enough memory? I don't know.

My system can't sleep or hibernate. When I click on sleep, it simply logs off and Vista goes into lock mode. When I put it on hibernate, it seems to go into hibernations but then it restarts from beginning and then it says resuming from hibernation and comes right back up again. System Specs: MOBO: Asus P5GDC Graphics: Onboard intel HDD: two Maxtor's sata Memory: 512 mb Anyone know if this can be fixed? It works on Windows XP SP2 perfectly!

You can't! The white border is there because your printer can't print all the way to the edges. Depending on the printer's margin specification, there will always be a white border. All you can do is set the margins to as small as possible so the white border is small as possible. What you can do is set the margins to 0. When you do this, Word will says that is not valid and it can automatically adjust margins to the smallest possible number.

Here's a shorter code: Sub removeallhyperlinks() For Each myHyperlink In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks myHyperlink.Delete Next myHyperlink End Sub

You can do it with the following macro: Sub removehyperlink() Set myRange = ActiveDocument _ .Range(Start:=ActiveDocument.Content.End - 1) Count = 0 For Each aHyperlink In ActiveDocument.Hyperlinks Count = Count + 1 With myRange aHyperlink.Delete End With Next aHyperlink End Sub

What seems like a problem is not really a problem. When you first mail merge, you won't see all the records. You only see the first page. But where you print, you will get all the pages, in your case 3 pages (24 + 24 + 2). Word handles it this way. A mail-merged document does not have a set # of pages because as you add records, the number of pages change. Therefore, you can't just print say page 3 only. Word will make you print all the pages. If you have Adobe Acrobat, then print to that and you'll see all the pages. If you don't, install the Document Write of Office and print to that.

It appears you must have additional languages installed as part of Windows XP. I have Asian languages installed and I see two. One is for English and one for Asian. Therefore, you can set the default for each separately. If you don't have additional languages installed, you won't see two.

what are your system specs. Maybe due to insufficienty memory?

sorry, actually can't make it float. i thought you could. sorry for mis info.

It's not possible as far as I know. All you can do it let the QAT float and add buttons to it.

That's easy. A simpler solution is to add a text box to the side and change the text direction. Here's a screenshot:

Yes, it's sad it's complicated. But the fact that it's complicated gives it a lot more functionality that what you can do with simple drag-and-drop. Also, if you customize your Ribbon, you can take pleasure about what others can't do. Hehe.

This is not difficult at all. The partial code would look like this: <group id="mygroup" label="My Group"> <button id="button1" label="Button 1" onAction="RibbonXOnAction" tag="mymacro1"/> <button id="button2" label="Button 2" onAction="RibbonXOnAction" tag="mymacro2"/> <button id="button3" label="Button 3" onAction="RibbonXOnAction" tag="mymacro3"/> </group> This way, you can have as many buttons as you want. The only way you can add/remove buttons freely is programatically. This requires more programming. I don't know how to do it.

Are you sure it's not your printer? Can you scan and post the printout?

I don't think it's possible.

Please give more detail. I don't understand at what phase you are having a problem. Have you customized your ribbon with the button? What does your vba script look like for you macro? Please post screenshots too.
