Strange codes on word printout?

Just encountered this issue. The text in word looks all fine in side the program.

However, when I try to print the document out, I am faced with code, or field codes more specifically. Moreover, when printing the document out, it's the same gibberish codes that got printed.

Ended up, this is because I must have checked on the "Print Field Codes instead of their value" previously when attempting to troubleshoot something else.

The issue is easy to resolve.
1. In word, click on File->Options
2. Inside of the Word Options window, click on Advanced.
3. Under the "Advanced pptions for working with Word," scroll down to Print and uncheck "Print field codes instead of their values."

C'est ça! Bon Chance!

Set up Canon Pixma printer when the router has no WPS button

I went to get a new D-LINK DIR-612 router today because the old router is really dead since I can't seem to be able to wake it up. Setting the wireless network up was a breeze.

The problem came when I was trying to connect the Canon Pixma printer to the wireless network, as directed by the running text on the screen of the printer "Press WPS button for about 5 seconds ..." while this model doesn't come with a WPS button.



Ended up, this is a step I can skip by simply pressing the "Stop" button on the printer.

After pressing the "Stop" button, I saw something like the following screen about Standard setup.

After pressing OK, the printer search automatically for access points near-by and all that I had to do was to use the arrow keys (or not) to locate my wireless network and press OK again.

Since it's a secured Wifi, it then ask me to entire the passphrase. When it's entered, mission seemingly impossible is completed ... setting up Canon Pixma printer when the router has no WPS button (while the printer asked for it).

Missing Quick style function in Picture Tools (Format) in Word?

I inserted the same picture in two word documents and was given different types of format tools.

 One has the quick style selection under the Picture Tools (Format) tab.

One doesn't have it.

After monkeying around, I realize that, in order to see the picture tools, you need to use the "Insert Picture" function provided by word as opposed to dragging the picture in directly onto the document.

C'est ca!
