Can't get The Word to "look" right

Post by NorrinRadd »

I'm migrating to a new PC -- going from an old Dell Dimension running XP to a new Toshiba Satellite running Windows 7, 64-bit. AFAICT, I'm using exactly the same settings in my "Bible View Options," but the Bible view is totally screwed up and useless on the laptop.

Would I be better off just copying some configuration file from the old system over to the new system?

Simple way to get a screenshot is to press "Print Screen" on your keyboard, then paste Ctrl+V into MS Paint, Crop the image and save the file as a .JPG file, then upload to the forum by following these instructions viewtopic.php?p=20194#p20194

Also: Pressing the keychord Alt-Print_Screen will only copy the window which has the focus, not the whole screen.

Thanks, but, um... Never mind. I found the problem. I thought it was Footnotes and Cross-References, but it was actually the Inline Commentaries. As soon as I adjusted that, it was fine.

After you press print screen you need to paste into MS Paint, or some other graphics editor.

semi-related / semi-off-topic

After pressing alt-prnscrn or prnscrn you can paste the image results into a TWM module (if it is write enabled) like your personal study notes, or whatever.
