Re: Word 2010 Opening Old Documents
Adrian Spratt
Mike,
I notice you have a number of thoughtful responses. I’m wondering if what you’re looking for is the special paste command. Although I use special paste all the time, I haven’t done so for this purpose. Here’s how I’d try.
Open the old document in your version of Word. Control-a to select all, control-c to copy. Then create a new document and keep focus there. Press control-alt-v. You will be shown a list of several format options. I choose unformatted so that the pasted copy will take your default format for newly created documents.
Apologies if I’m writing from left field.

I don't know if getting rid of older restore points is deliberate or just something that happens when system restore gets messed up. Either way, I wouldn't count on it to do any more than undo something you just did. It is good for today's disaster, but I wouldn't trust it on a disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago.

I agree. The last time I configured a machine, I came up with a list of at least two dozen things I needed to install and configure. I guess starting over is fine if you just serf the web, I'd almost rather move house than have to do it. Image for windows has never failed to restore an image for me. I also keep the vast majority of my data on a separate drive than windows, I've been burned before.

System Protection (whether under Windows 7, 8.1, or 10) is NOT a backup and recovery utility in any meaningful sense. And it has a long history, as Glenn has indicated, of being flaky, at best, for what it's supposed to be good for - rolling back a recent change like the installation of a single program.

It is not even in the same class as a true backup and recovery suite. I keep it turned on for the sake of convenience so if I need to do a very simple rollback I can try it, but I long ago learned that one should never count on System Protection being a robust system that works each and every time, or even close to it. That's one of the reasons, among many, that taking full system images and separate user data backups is essential. And if the data is really, really critical, either taking multiple backups or immediately copying off the latest local one to remote storage, away from the source material, so it's available in the event of fire, flood, or other natural disaster. That may be overkill for most home users, but even some of them do this to have as much insurance in the event of a need for recovery as they can get. -- Brian - Windows 10 Pro, 64-Bit, Version 1909, Build 18363 The purpose of education is not to validate ignorance but to overcome it.

I don't know if it's different in windows 10, but
I've noticed that in windows 7 that the operating system only keeps a few of the
backup points and it bumps out older backup points.
Someone I know has tried using system restore only
to find that he could not go back as far as he wanted to in restoring his
system.

Hello,

I have not tried this particular router. I just set up a Nighthawk and I found the interface to be somewhat problematic until I learned that pressing enter will allow one to navigate around elements with JAWS that do not have links. Also, some items are further down the page than would be expected after pressing enter. Once I discovered this, there had not been an issue in setting it up.

Hi Brian,
Personally, I wouldn’t restore or backup an image, too much to go wrong, even on the same hardware.
I usually reset my PC and reinstall apps. I can back up my personal data just using Windows, but since resetting a Windows 10 PC is now accessible completely, that’s what I do.

When I tabbed while in Zoom Jaws didn’t say anything. I had the volume turned all the way up as it was a virtual spin class. When class was over the instructor and other were still talking. Since the volume was so loud I couldn’t hear Jaws very well. I did press control, alt and delete to bring up task manager and once again because the volume was up and people were still talking I couldn’t tell if task manager was open. Even it was I wouldn’t been able to kill the zoom session as I couldn’t tell which task it was. Iwonderif there is a way to route Jaws to one speaker and the Zoom meeting to the other speaker.

Did you try to just close zoom, or did you click on the Leave meeting button? My guess is you tried to close out without leaving the meeting, thus left yourself hung up in the meeting. If that isn’t what happened, the only other thing I would have tried was using Task Manager to end the Zoom task.

Hello, I’m using most recent version of Jaws 2020, windows and zoom. The other day I was on a Zoom call and when I tried to close out, Jaws was unable to read anything. I pressed alt F4 and still couldn’t get out of it. I pressed alt tab and nothing happen. I could still hear the people still on the call talking. The only thing I could do is a hard shut down. When I did this I heard a buzzing noise until the PC was shut down. What could have caused not being able to end call? Thanks, Kevin
