I need an Excel update
Ten years ago in my previous job I used Excel a lot but since I've been in admin I can't remember when I last made a pivot table and honestly can't even remember how to do them. There's a job I know will be coming up with my current employer analysing data and I'd like to apply; please can anyone recommend an online course…

Apache OpenOffice Spelling Check
I have the Apache OpenOffice 4.1.5 and when I use OpenWriter I cannot get the Spelling check. The spelling box gets open but, although I selected it, it seems inactive and says ''Spelling None". Furthermore, in a different version of OpenOffice the misspelled words were wavy underlined in red and that was quicker than…

Have I allowed myself to get [Facebook] scammed?
Scrolling away this morning & saw an ad which caught my eye. Get this [item] for [dirt cheap]. I thought ok this will be nonsense or a scam but on looking further the comments were full of people who'd received their item (apparently). I checked some profiles & they weren't the glossy photos that some scammers take off a…

Google Photos & the photos on your [Android] device...?
So I thought (and am 99% sure I've also read somewhere) that if you delete a photo from Google Photos then it'll also delete it from your device (and vice versa - assuming you have the backup turned on of course, which I do & pay for the Google One sub) But for me at least this turns out to not be true. Say I take 3 photos…

Laptop 2016 - I want to install Windows 7 on
I have an older laptop that came with Windows 8.0 but upgraded to 8.1. I want to carry on running CorelDraw X4 that won't work on Win 10 or 11. It's been suggested that Win 7 run on this old laptop would work well with CDX4 - and will not be connected to the internet. But I can't get the Win 7 installer to work. Changes…

How did this Coinbase email get into my Yahoo inbox?
I've had nothing to do with crypto currencies so I was surprised this didn't make it into my spam box. But I'm not asking about that, I'm asking why I received it at all because it isn't addressed to any of my email accounts. If this is some sort of scam or data harvesting aimed at me, what would be the point of making it…

Sony Bravia TV KDL-32EX524 - internet access
I was given this TV to replace my analogue set. It works fine through the standard aerial but I'd like to get it set up for internet. Firstly because of that functionality, and also because I believe it will allow me to do some software updates on the TV which will stop the really annoying pop-up on BBC1 which always asks…

How do I stop this pop up on my phone?
Hi all, hope someone can help me. I keep getting a pop up on my phone for creatihk.com. This happens most times that i access the internet. Mostly they are adverts, and I just click the 'x' box to get rid of them, but it is really frustrating. I use Google to search the internet, and it looks like these pop ups are via…

Sound delay when gaming
I'm playing Rocksmith plus which is a game that enables you to play a guitar, bass or keyboards along to songs in the game library. The problem I'm having is the sound from the instrument, a bass guitar in my case is out of sync with the game, there's slight but noticeable delay between playing a note and the sound coming…

Print M&S returns label from ipad or iphone?
My partner wanted to return an M&S item from her iPad but there does not seem to be an option from the app to print the label (we have AirPrint that works fine with other apps.) The only option in both the iPhone/iPad app is to "download" the returns label but in fact it just shows it on the screen with no option to print…

Anyone good with SQL?
Just wondering if SQL can be made to ignore character case when
selecting a field dependant on content. I have some SQL that
I use to allocate a ‘Type’ number in a table in LibraOffice Base.
This looks at a field called ‘Description’ and allocates a Type
number accordingly, like this: UPDATE "tblSpend" SET "Type"
= '4'…

Microwave query about butter
OK so not about computers but I thought the brainy types here might be able to help answer a question about softening butter in the microwave. OK so usually I take the butter out of the fridge, put it on a plate and leave it on the dining room table overnight. By morning it is normally reasonably spreadable. But sometimes…

Email domain renewal
Hi! I’ve been using GoDaddy for my email address domain (via Microsoft) that I use as a sole trader. It’s up for renewal for what will be my third year. I’m thinking I might be paying over the odds; I paid a mere £4.99 in the first year which is clearly to get you in as a new customer, but this year it is £86 with VAT.…

Voice controlled land line or dumb mobile phone
Is there such a thing? My wife has very limited vision and struggles when dialling a number that is not in the phone's memory. She has to use a magnifier to read the number and can only enter a few numbers at a time. The pauses during this result in the link beng disconnected. Neither of us can cope with a smartphone.

New PC - It all starts with the Motherboard yes?
