I've poked around many, many a day on the forums here, and finally made an account today. I would love to get an herb garden started this year. My interests are in tea and medicinal herbs, succulents and cacti, and trees. However, more than anything I enjoy surprises- so add "random/grab bag/any" to the list, too! I prefer indoor planting / potted planting, if this makes a difference. (But, I'm up for anything!) Sad story time: When I was about 11, I had to move across the country about 2 months after I had 3 tiny maple trees start growing in a long trough-like pencil holder in my windowsill. My parents said I couldn't take them with us, even though I said I would hold them in my lap the entire way there (in the car!) I loved my "tiny trees". I planted them in my favorite hiding spot, but when I moved back to the area, construction had destroyed where I planted them. Ever since then, I've wanted to grow more trees but just can't seem to get them going... :( But, that hasn't stopped me from trying!! Therefore, I am also looking for tips, advice, and suggestions on how to plant and maintain any seeds or plants provided me. Thank you so much for considering me!!

Thank You zep516! I uninstalled Foxit Reader and reinstalled it according to your directions, and that worked, but do you or does anyone out there know how to make Word 2007 my default instead of Works? Thank you again zep516! When I did the PDF test it said I already had Acrobat 9--Thank you! If I only understood what is going on!--sigh...

Is this computer YOUR OWN PERSONAL COMPUTER owned by YOU, or does it belong to your employer?

If this is the case, your should talk to whoever in your building is responsible for computer services and find out if they can assist.

Open Word, click Tools at the top of the screen, Click Options in the drop down menu. If the 'View' page is not on the top click the 'View' tab it to bring it on top. Now look down the left side to the second set of choices named 'Formatting marks'. Yours should have a tick in the 'Spaces' and 'Paragraph marks'. Click on each mark to remove it then click OK and you should be good to go.
