Hi Rafael:

Are you sure you are logged in to the correct user account?

If you have logged in with a different user ID, nothing from your previous
life will be visible.

But yes, it's still there on your hard disk, in the "other" folder of the
"Users" directory.

Cheers

Hi,

I don't know if what has happened is related to my current work on
Word on this ng. A my personal settings are gone. Everything. I'm
having to reenlist in macmail, which means all my mail and settings
are gone. Had to redownload firefox. All my history and bookmarks
are gone. Anyway. I'm sure you get the picture. What's happened is
that MacMail froze, was frozen the whole time during my Word NG
participation this morning, and nothing would get it to close, the
beachball wouldn't go away. I tried to restart and that didn't work.
I tried to shut down and at first that didn't work until various
system wondows came up
(I don't remember what they were). None of the keycodes for dealing
with this kind of stuff worked Finally the computer shut down. I
opened it an hour later and all my material and settings are gone.
Macros, I imagine. My custom toolbars.

I'm devastated.

Any clues? Does my stuff exist anywhere? Shutting down the computer
isn't supposed to do this, is it? Maybe there's no connection with
the stuff I 've been doing with Word in the newsgroup hasn't got to
anything to do with this problem.

Thanks, Rafael

Hi little_creature,

I must have missed yours of the 22nd. I tried that. I played around
with it. Don't remember what exactly I pressed (Arrange All) or Bring
All To Front or when I Pressed option and it didn't exactlycascade,
it did that thing I've been wanting to get away from which is it made
little windows of all the regular size windows (@9) I had open. Then
I did I think 'Bring All To Front' and Word crashed. When I opened it
the window the small window said that all changes were in a normal
file, the button was blue, and I pressed it. One doc. came up, and
all my menus were scattered around at the top of the screen. I don't
think I lost any though. Many of them were custom toolbars, but I've
learned to press the "save all" with the three-cascaded zips
frequently. Also, I now have the red and green wavy lines u8nder
incorrect words Spelling and Grammar check. Also, the 'work' menu
won't open at all.
Right now I did a sp[elling grammar check. Worked fine, but the
comment window after the grammar & sp check didn't come up.
I've never before used "arrange all" or "bring all to front", and
I've never looked them up.

Yesterday I posted separately on this group about getting the black
bar option+command+minus (think-I know I pressed the right ones. I
just don't remember right now, and I'm wary of pressing/anything/
right now. I mention this because it could be related to the above.
I do have 10.4.9.

Best. Rafael

Hello Rafael,
I'm currently out of mac so I will just direct you. If you go to menu
Window, you can play with all the Arrange all ... options which are
there if this will help you. I think casacde is PC feature, but I
cannot check it now.

Another thing to try I found on macosxhints.com
10.4:Cascadeall windows via a hidden menu option
Tiger only hintI've never seen this before, so I'm guessing it's new
with 10.4. In any program that has a 'Window' menu, you'll find
"Bring
All To Front." However, if you hold down the Option key after opening
the menu, this becomes "Arrange In Front." Select it, and you get a
(nasty IMO) Windows-esque cascading arrangement feature.
Hope this will help a bit

How do I layer (stack) windows with only the title bars showing. I
recall doing this, but I've forgotten, and Word help doesn't
understand my request. I think the windows stacked from upper
left
corner of the screen toward the lower right. If there were
multiple
windows, each title bar was visible.

Thanks,

Rafael
