Neither of those options worked.... With "scale to fit paper size," the header and footer are printed just as close to the edge as before. As for changing the scale in the print dialog box to 90%, I don't get that option in Opera. For some strange reason, I *do* get that option in Safari. (I...

I'm using Opera 10.60 on a MacBook, system 10.5.8. I can't seem to set the header and footer margins in Opera so that they print about an inch away from the edge of the paper. Right now, they are very close to the edge. I went to opera:config and tried to modify the margins there, but the...

Sorry to be posting, but I can't find anything about these problems on the web. When I open my Word 5.1a documents in later versions of Word, the page layout is totally different. Namely, one page of text in Word 5.1a comes out as 1.5 pages in later versions. I can't seem to reproduce the...

Is there any way I can modify the way search results are displayed in the finder window? I know I can modify it for Spotlight, but I can't figure it out for the normal Search. I find it annoying that Images and Source Code (!) are the first two categories to be displayed and that Documents is...

I would have reinstalled it before posting my original query, but I've defined a lot of macros, and I don't want to lose them....

Dear Nixgeek--Yes, I tried repairing permissions from within Disk Utility (and then restarted the computer), but nothing changed. Dear Ra3ndy--Yes, the NeoOffice opens as per normal.

Today, when I opened NeoOffice, the icon in the dock and also in my hard drive turned into a generic "A" for Application. This is an OS X application, but I tried rebuilding the Classic desktop, just to see if it would work. It didn't. Is there any way I can change the icon back to the real...

Thanks, but--actually, it was EXACTLY after I installed "Print to PDF" from jwwalker that my printing capabilities went haywire!! I used to be able to print fine from Classic, but after I tried getting PDF capabilities for my Classic apps, I stopped being able to print (see my first posting)....

I *used* to be able to print fine from Classic apps (directly, just by clicking on the Print button). Then, I tried installing a PDF writer for Classic on my laptop (PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4.2), and suddenly I was 1. only able to print ONE copy of a document, no matter how many copies...

Thanks to both of you for the tips. And--wow, rebuilding the desktop worked! I wonder what happened to make the icon into an A in the first place.... Believe it or not, NONE of the staff at Apple support could help me at all. They seem to have only disdain for Classic applications. About...

Thanks for the clarification, ra3ndy. I tried it out, and it didn't work, so I just deleted the offending application (the one my documents kept opening up in). But one can't always do that, of course....

Sorry, what is "Disk Application"? I'm having the same trouble as Oakley.

I'm (still) a devoted user of Word 5.1a. When I type words into it (using Classic mode, of course), I often get multiple letters (the same character over and over), even though I type a particular letter just once. Also, there's a lag-time between keystrokes and when the letters appear on the...
