Pretty simple fix, but I think I'm just too lazy to mess with it right now...
All of the Word files my teachers put on their websites are .docx files, and I only have Word 2004, which won't open those files. What do I need to do tobe able to open those files?

you'll have to reset your icons through candybar, reload your dock, and/or click on the icon for it to go back to normal.

I created a thread but have yet to receive a helpful reply/answer. So I hope someone here will be kind enough to help...
Apparently, some of my Word docs are infected w/ a macro virus. I'm not sure how many are infected, although I know it's not all Word docs. I'mrunning Office 2004 for Mac Student and Teacher Edition. How can I fix this? I'd like to prevent other docs from also becoming infected. I have noanti-virus installed and I'm still running Tiger, (hoping Apple releases Snow Leopard soon so I can finally upgrade) if that matters. I'd appreciatethe help.

Mac Platform: UB

FruitMenu is a haxie that gives you the ability to customize the Apple Menu and contextual menus.
Using a visual editor you can edit the contents of the menus to suit your needs and taste.
FruitMenu will also display the contents of the FruitMenu Items folder inside of your Library folder, launch applications and shell scripts from the Apple Menu and contextual menus, to allow easy file navigation and launching.
To make the haxie completely flexible and customizable, you can assign hotkeys to particular menu items.
Features:
# Put any folders and files in your Apple and contextual menus.
# Put complete disks in your Apple and contextual menus for easy navigation.
# Assign hot keys to your files, folders, and commonly used tasks.
# Access individual System Preferences immediately from a submenu.
# See your IP Address in the Apple or contextual menu.
# Speed up your system by disabling menu fadeout effect.
# Open any document with application of your choice through the contextual menu.
# Move any file or folder into your desired location.
# Preview graphics file right into your menu.
# Reveal and Get Info on files right from your Apple and contextual menus.
# Create individual configurations of Apple and Contextual menus for different applications.
# Use less-cluttered, faster implementation of Recent Applications, Documents and Folders than Apple's.
# Set desktop picture instantly with a single click.
# Browse contents of the selected folder in a menu, instantly.
# Organize the Apple menu the way you want or need.
# Easy to configure as it comes in usual Preference Pane form, accessible through System Preferences.

For the record I also posted this in the BB thread.
I have successfully tethered my BB to my MAC via Bluetooth. If you want to know how, let me know.Basically it uses the Bold's 3G connection so you can have high speed internet on your Laptop anywhere you have a 3G signal. Here is a screen shot of thespeed test I took while connected to my BB. Yes the latency is a little high but the speeds are pretty good. Also the download and upload speeds are nearsynchronous.

A program called Amnesty Widget Browser allows you to do it. It costs $19.99 though. There isa developer mode you can do for it, but it hasn't worked for me.

To expound on that, I can tell you from the viewpoint of a Windows user for most of my life until 2007 that my purchase ofa Mac was one of the greatest computer purchases I have ever made in my entire life.
With that endorsement comes a little honesty. Yes you can find a more powerful computer spec wise (at least as far as thenotebooks are concerned, cause the Mac Pro is a beast), yes you can even find a better value (that's just the truth) BUT!!!!! You will be hard pressed tofind a machine that blends hardware and software into a better integrated package AND an OS that is as powerful yet user friendly as MAC OSX.
Trust when you buy it, you will have so many "wow they actually thought of that" moments that you'll losetrack. Got one word for you...Spotlight. You'll soon find out. Plus guys like Cwrite and Doc, Googler, and sometimes myself will steer you write if youhave any questions. Plus there are too many tutorials and how to's on the web as well.
Hope that helps.
