Word & Excel Problems

[soybean]

I don't know whether you really do not have the ability to clearly communicate in writing or you're playing games here but I think we're not going anywhere with this discussion until you say something in a clear, coherent manner, and that hasn't happened yet.

If you look at the WORD doc. At the top where the icons are.  Under each one there is a link.  ie.  In the HOME Tab there is at the bottom of the icons - Clipboard.  to the right, under the icons - Fonts.  Both og these are grayed out and cannot be clicked on.

For Excel - There is a bar above where you are typing, that shows what line you are on and what column you are in.  This bar is missing.

I think the message "compatibility mode" in the title bar may be a clue.

Is this in Excel?

If it is in Excel...how do I access it?

We still aren't getting clear and coherent replies from you.  And, your images are two large to effectively serve as an aid in the communication. 

You did not answer my question about why you posted image with two Word windows, one on top of the other.  If an image is going to be helpful, it needs to clearly show the problem.  Your image does not do this.  As I said in previous posts, cutout the specific part of the image that relates to the problem; by doing this, that part of your Word window will appear larger and be easier to decipher in the forum.  For example, see my attached image from Word 2007.  I show only the upper left corner of the window.

OK How do I do that?  How do I take corner photo?

[mis2ko]

It shows what I mean - it shows Clipboard, Font & Paragraph.  These are grayed out and cannot be used.

That is not confirmed by your image.  Your image seems to show nothing abnormal.  Again, a closeup image could be more helpful. 

For the third time, why did you impose one Word window over the other in your image? 

[mis2ko]

I did not put them over each one.  Maybe the Editor did it.

[soybean]

Well, create a closeup as, as I suggested, that will show more clearly the buttons you say are grayed out.  I've already told you about cropping an image.  And,  you have a Snipping tool in Windows 7 that works very well for screen captures; it will let you capture only the portion of an app window that you want.

[mis2ko]

I don't know how to find the Snipping thing???

[Salmon Trout]

click the Start Orb and type Snipping Tool in the "Search programs and Files" box

[mis2ko]

I found it and tried to send it but it won't load.  it is a .jpg and small file.

Was this ever done?  Have you tried to reinstall the software?
