Have you ever associated an application with a file type, and wanted to change that choice? For example, when working with an acrobat form, I accidentally answered "Yes" once to Acrobat's question "Do you want to open all files of this type with Acrobat?"
After finishing that project I wanted to return to using Preview, because it takes way too long for Acrobat to open, but it's not at all obvious how to change the setting.
Select a file of the type you wish to reassociate, choose "Get Info" from the "File" menu. Under "Open with:" select the application you wish to use. Under "Use this application to open all documents like this. " click the button marked "Change All".
And that's all there is to it.
By default, Excel sees the enter key as a signal to move down a row. To set it to allow the enter key to create a return or line-break within the text inside the cell, select:
Tools:Options:Edit tab: UNselect Move selection after Enter.
To make hard returns you may have to use alt-enter.
On my Windows 2000 workstation, occasionally, the tablet just stops working. It seems that this usually happens when the mouse (which is also still connected) has been moved accidentally. However sometimes it seems to just "happen" and I am not certain why.
This knowledgebase article talks about how the driver process can be interrupted:
Recently, Mail.app began having problems connecting to the various smtp servers I use. At first some worked, while others didn't but then all failed completely after a few days. Took me a while to figure out that SBC has started blocking port 25 - the port used to reach these types of servers. Except for its own, of course.
The irony is that even though SBC spams us all as much as anyone, they didn't bother to announce this change - or perhaps Mail.app read it as junk and disappeared the email. Anyway, it turns out that there IS a way around it. You can opt out of the blocking:
"To request removal of the filter, use the Abuse of Service form at http://help.sbcglobal.net/servabuse.php" to contact our Abuse team and choose the "Opt-Out Port 25" under Abuse Type. Enter your account Member ID (also called your SBCIS PPPOE Login ID or User ID) to opt-out. If you have multiple SBCIS accounts you want to opt-out, please submit a separate form for each Member ID. Do not enter your email addresses from the other mail hosting provider. You should expect that it will take SBCIS 12-24 hours to process your request."I suspect this is an attempt to block all the worm-infested zombie PC's from sending email to all the contacts in every victim's address book, but I find it inconvenient, and opted out.
