Can I plug in my Time Machine external HD from that Mac into a MacBook Pro to manually copy a file or two to work on while the problem is hopefully fixed – without the MBP thinking the TM disk should be used for...

    Hyperlinks in Word

    Hi - I have Word 2004. Up until today it has been creating and displaying hyperlinks in the way I prefer - I highlight the words I want to link, go Command K and put in the link, and it displays the words in a different colour in my document. I click on the word to test the link and...
