In the “for goodness sakes!” category: I lost my formatting palette in Word. Showing and hiding it from the View meny just got me an animation of it flying off the bottom of the screen. Some searching showed I’m not the only person to have mislaid it in this way, and look! There’s a script that brings it back! Hereby blogged for future reference.

Searching an application’s help files for “lost” was quite amusing. I might make it a daily habit. Which other words should one search help files for?

    Cheese. I’ve always thought of cheese as being something of a surrealist word. No, I don’t know why either.

    Thanks for this. Same thing happened to me and I was starting to panic because I have an important university essay due soon. Thanks again.
