I Need Help

[4getmenot]

Is anyone out there a computer wiz? I have been sent some documents that I need to change to change the colour on and add lines but it really wont let me. Can anyone please give me their email (or a temp one) so I can send what I need doing and send it back to me?? or even tell me how I do it.

Cut and paste the whole document into a new doc of your own making...you should then be able to edit....

[WyeDyed]

What sort of document is it? .doc, .docx, .xls ect.

[murraymints]

I'm assuming it's a word document created by someone else and sent by e mail...

[4getmenot]

I have murraymint but its text within tables etc and I just cant change one thing without changing the whole lot

[SlackAlice]

You trying to change one row or one column? Is this Word Document?

[4getmenot]

its word. i know how to add, change, change colours of columns but it just wnt let me highlight them.

[murraymints]

What if you simply place cursor and back delete ? Then retype..

[WyeDyed]

Is it actually opening in Word or is it just a preview? Also it may be flagged as "Read Only"

[murraymints]

Or cut whole table and replace with your own ?

[4getmenot]

its not just a table or i would just redo it has a pic attached that i just cant seperate. thought someone might want a challenge. nevermind.

Can you alter anything at all? Put the cursor anywhere and hit the enter button if nothing happens, ie the line doesn't drop, I agree with WyeDyed it has probably been sent to you as Read Only.
Can the documents be sent again with the Read Only unchecked by the original composer.

[murraymints]

Sounds like it yorky ! Agree original creator needs to resend with restriction lifted...

[4getmenot]

yes i can alter, its in edit mode

[murraymints]

Did I not say edit in first answer ? Lol...glad you've sorted it ! X

[4getmenot]

i havnt sorted it. i was just saying its not read only, i can edit some but not all the bits i need to. i think the table i need to change has been inserted onto word as a pic

[Yorky Lass]

If it has been inserted as a pic then you will never be able to edit it. I suggest you delete the whole page it appears on and retype.
Sorry I can't be more help.

[4getmenot]

thought that may be the case. thanks
