Somehow I turned on the display paragraph marks, spaces, and other special characters in my outlook 2007 new email messages and I can't find a way to turn it off.
I am looking for the outlook equivalent of the Word 2007 Show/Hide command that is in the paragraph section of the toolbar ribbon, whose icon in the toolbar is a paragraph mark.
None of the other answers worked on my outlook 2010. However, ctrl+shift+8 did the trick.
Found the answer :
Create a new message.
Right click on the tabs line of the menu and
select -> Customize Quick Access Toolbar
select -> Display
Uncheck box -> Show all formatting marks.
In Outlook 2010, when viewing a message, choose
File
Options
Compose Message
Editor Options button.
Then under Display, tick/untick the box to 'Show all formatting marks'.
However, Microsoft doesn't provide this easily because it's under the group 'format text'/'paragraph' when customizing the ribbon, which is greyed out when viewing the message.
To add it yourself, create a custom group (I called mine 'View Format' in the ribbon (eg under the Message tab), then show all commands on the left. Choose 'Show All' and add it to your custom group.
Press CTRL+SHIFT+8 to toggle the “Show markup” feature on/off.

In lf at the bottom status bar on the right-hand corner where it says 9/37 or something, basically, which file out of all files you are on, it also shows a red box next to it with the number 1 in it. What does this red box mean? is it linked to permissions or something? if so how do I disable it?
When I run lf as sudo, the red box is no longer there and the colors also looks like ranger regardless of the lack of config for root. When run normally, the lf file manager has lots of yellow background highlights and all and the red box at the bottom.
What is this box and how do I get rid of it?
I tried getting rid of any lf config I had and put it back to defaults, but it just looks more different. Why is the root one soo different regardless the lack of config instructions (lfrc) and what does the red box at the bottom mean.

I am writting some document with links to external websites, but some links are to large to simply be tossed in to the word file and i was thinking if there's a way to attach the hyperlink to any word/phrase in the document for example:
www.google.com/verylonglinkhereforexample
As if i would do in for a hyperlink tag:
check the site here, where clicking site, would take me to the desired link behind site word. Or is there any alternative at all to reduce links instead of tossing large links to the document?
This is an easy one.
Assuming you're using Office 2016/2019 (I'm not 100% sure about the others, but I'm sure it would be pretty similar), the easiest way to do this is:
First, highlight the text you want to go to the hyperlink.
Go to the insert tab
Press 'Link'
At the top of the dialog box, check that the text to display is the text you highlighted
At the bottom of the dialog box, enter the actual hyperlink
Press OK
Enjoy!

I have two questions I was hoping the community could help me with. I'm specially using CSL in Mendeley with the Microsoft Word plugin.
Do you know how to control the spacing/tab between the number of the citation and the author names? I want this to be a space, but in the style I have it is a tab. I an unable to find this option! Please see screenshot #1.
example of the space between citation number and citation text in the bibliograpy
Is there a way I can control formatting of the bibliography using a word style? For example, I want it to remove the hanging indent and match the font/size of the rest of my document. See Screenshot #2.
example of the difference in formatting between the bibliography list and the remainder of the text of the paper
Many thanks for taking the time to answer these questions!
You can address by removing the second-field-align="flush" from the bibliography line of the style and instead just setting a suffix=" " on <text variable="citation-number"/>. However that will mean (by definition of what a space does) that subsequent lines will not start flush with the text, but will begin at the beginning of the line (though it sounds like that may be what you want anyway?). If you just want the tab to be shorter you can fix that in Word.
No, Mendely and CSL do not allow you to automatically address the Word style you're using. I believe the bibliography will get inserted with its own Word style, though, so you can modify that once and have the changes stick.

I seem to have gotten Microsoft Word (from Office 2003) into a weird mode.
If I select some text with the mouse and "type over" it, the new text is inserted before the selected text instead of replacing it. Same thing happens if I use the Delete or Backspace key to eliminate it.
The following do work as expected:
1. backspace over the characters I want to delete, one character per keystroke
2. Same thing with the Delete key
3. control-X to "cut" the text.
Does anybody know how to return to "normal" behavior? And for that matter, how I managed to get into this mode?
You have activated the overwrite function!

The comment by MyDog led me to the right answer:
Tools menu ->Options, select the "Edit" pane and check "Typing Replaces Selection".
I have also found out what causes the problem -- at least the immediate cause. If I copy an image from another app (e.g., Irfanview or MS Paint) and paste it into the Word document, that turns off "typing replaces selection". I'm not sure why MS thought this would be a good idea, or if it's just a bug, but at least now I know what causes it, and that I have to turn typeover back on after pasting an image.

I often want to type Alt+Shift+~ while using emacs (to run its command "not-modified"). However, since upgrading to Debian Wheezy (which upgraded Gnome to 3.4), I find that when I type those keys, Emacs doesn't "hear" the keystroke; instead, I see a popup window that looks like the window I see when I hit Alt+TAB (except this window only ever has a single icon in it, for Emacs, as opposed to the window that Alt+TAB brings up, which has one icon for each application).
I've fixed many similar stolen-keystroke problems like this in the obvious way: I click my name in the upper-right corner of the screen, choose "System Settings" from the dropdown menu; click the "Keyboard" icon, click the "Shortcuts" tab, and examine every entry on the right side to see if it's the guilty party; if so, I disable it. However, in this particular case, I cannot find any entry that refers to the tilde or the backtick key, so I don't know what to delete.
I've also tried examining the output of gconftool-2 --recursive-list to see if I could find anything likely, but saw nothing that looked relevant.
Some diligent googling for "gnome alt backtick" found this:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-group "['disabled']"
