    Applying a repeating whole page picture/letter background?

    @Harrylowt - Yes, that worked properly. The only problem being that the picture needs reducing to fit. Oddly, the picture that was made to fit the page is now too big...?

    Applying a repeating whole page picture/letter background?

    Yer 'tis. Like I said, it is a whole-page. I'm still writing my reports/letters, so I haven't got around to trying any of the suggestions yet. This afternoon hopefully...

    Applying a repeating whole page picture/letter background?

    Is this after saving the full page as a JPG? I shall endeavour to follow your instructions and report back. Thank you...

    Applying a repeating whole page picture/letter background?

    Windows Office 2007 - There is no better - however the migration to Win 8 ruined all my default settings! Anyhoo, I have already sussed out that one may apply headers and footers to repeating pages, but I'm very confused as to how one may apply ones business design - which is a WHOLE page, over...

    Solved Changing scales to metric? (Publisher, PPT, etc...)

    I looked forward to opening 'publisher' for the first time to see if I could produce an item to fit into a magazine/newspaper. I made my initial box-size and then discovered that IT'S ALL IN IMPERIAL! Considering that most of the people in the world use Metric and don't mess up our engineering...

    Folder Template - Set Default for All Folders in Windows 8

    Lovely and simple fix. I do wonder why some of these Win 8 'ideas' were made up by making it more awkward and involving more button pressing. I'm still saving up for a '7' Disk.

    'New window' selection is always the wrong size/type...

    No matter how many times I go to 'View' settings, every time I choose a new window (i.e. opening a folder) I am always met with a small-format window rather than a full-screen, full-size one. I also am met with random lists instead of 'medium-sized icons', which I have opted for and chosen as...

    Sound Problem

    I have a similar problem, which is that previously (Vista) the sound automatically configured itself to function from standard (and customising was EEEEEEEEEasy) and when one plugged into the headphone socket - headphones or ext. amp. - it defaulted to that output and muted the other one. Simple...

    Start Menu Toolbar - Create on Windows 8 Taskbar

    Alternatively, there's always the classic shell download, which gives the options of Classic ('97?), XP and Vista Start buttons and menu's. IMO, THE most annoying (missing) part of 8. Simply click on programs, then drag and drop your programs into the list of favourites. Much better than that...

    Others now unable to open emails made from Word '10...

    That's nice and sensible, ...but surely 'Macro saps' should have thought of this little gem and updated it into EVERY MS computer to foresee and overcome the problem...meanwhile, there are clients being lost because they can't open a simple email...!

    Others now unable to open emails made from Word '10...

    I have, only recently been told that it has been extremely difficult for those to whom I have sent emails to open them. I use office '10, which sometimes saves in '07...maybe because the original documents were 2003? The ISP is Aol and I use Firefox. Previous to the changeover to Win8, there...

    Headphone Jack Not Working

    Thanks, but it is just sound. When one plugs in the headphones or whatever in the same plug, the sound goes off at the speakers and onto the headphones - normally! but not any more. This surely can't be flash? All of my other programmes for sound say 'drivers installed and up to date' etc. I do...

    Headphone Jack Not Working

    I have a similar problem whereby I have to search at too great a length to get the sound to the speakers to automatically cancel (mute) when I plug the headphones in and then do the reverse when I unplug them. When in WMP all is fine, but on any other application - say Youtube, there is only...

    Mouse pointer accuracy has left the building!

    After some time playing with this, my only caveat now is that the newly made 'default' scheme is never there when I start up again. I have to go back to the 'personalise' - 'change mouse-pointers' to click on the saved scheme and have it be the default again, but it is never there after another...

    Mouse pointer accuracy has left the building!

    Semi-solved... Hello again, Well, after finding where the 'base-reference-point' (where the 'X' marks the spot) is, I successfully made my arrow and later on, made a little bar icon to use whilst typing, which is only 12 pixels high (should be 13, but old-wives tales etc...) and I have found...

    Media Player Playlist annoyance.

    Now, this HAS to have something to do with W8/New WMP! In the sidebar in WMP, a list is constantly being made of everything I put onto the computer and eveything I play. ALSO...WMP has enormous pleasure in making playlists, not only of the albums I put on, but then making MORE playlists of...

    Welcome to Eight Forums

    Welcome to the best forum I've come across so far. Just remember, if in doubt, right-click. Seems to be the 'new-thang'.
