I presume you mean a DJVU file. An internet search for "convert djvu to pdf" gives several methods.

Can't you Insert the Word .DOC file into PagePlus?

Alternatively, can't you print the Word file (or the DJUV file - whatever that is) using a PDF printer, such as PrimoPDF? https://www.primopdf.com/

It is also possible to rename the .dpp file (or, better, a copy of the .dpp file) as .zip, and then unzip it. various elements can then be isolated and presumably copied. I have not investigated this in any depth. It is no doubt labour intensive.

It isn’t possible to open native DrawPlus files without DrawPlus

They can also be opened in PagePlus, and could be exported from there in a different format.

There is a Mute button on my phone which will silence the ringer. It's not BT, of course.

Was that the answer?

Each time I load in a saved coloured text frame, that I keep in assets, my design, it is automatically anchored

This is probably because you are dragging it into a text frame, and that is normal behaviour. Drag it to a blank area of the page, or onto the pasteboard, instead, then reposition it as required. Same for a picture.

Have you asked the Bing AI?

Seems logical. What did you think you should search for?

I've been having problems lately printing booklets. Using double sided printing I have to specify whether to flip long or short side. Logic suggests to me that printing, say, an A5 booklet on A4 sheets, I should specify "flip short side". However that would print alternate sides upside down, so I'd always called for "flip long side" and its been fine.

Lately however, the latter setting was giving me upside down pages, so I've been specifying "flip short side" and the printing has been OK.

Today, "flip short side" gave me upside down pages, so I had to use "flip long side" setting again. Very puzzling!

Something unusual then happened: I had a thought! Today I had reverted to using my older Win 10 Laptop, whereas lately (as in two paragraphs back) I had been using my newish Win 11 laptop. So I tried the same print job on my newer laptop, and "flip short side" was OK.

Therefore, using the same program (PagePlus X9, of course) and the same printer (HP OfficeJet Pro 8710) with different laptops, gives me a different flipping result!

Is it caused by the different operating systems (Win 10 and 11), or what?

People very rarely used the term "crown". If something cost 5/-, people might say it cost "two half-crowns", never "a crown".

There were also florins. Until George VI coins were issued, the 2/- coin was labelled "one florin".

Has she got the Cat Master/Mistress, Human Slave thing properly sorted?

Absolutely!

She was a stray, that we would see occasionally for a few weeks, and would run off when she saw anyone. It was quite  while before we could get close, but she eventually got us under full control.

It's quite dangerous for stray cats around here. No traffic, but coyotes, bob cats, raccoons, eagles and black bears, and once in a while, a cougar.

A bob cat attacked a couple of chickens recently, and one died a week or so later. Squeaky saw it from about 20 yards, and disappeared below the house in a flash. She can move quite quickly when danger threatens.

Just a few evenings ago we had a visit from a mother bear and two cubs out in the field adjacent to the house.

It's been a while since a cat post, so here are some pictures of the cat referred to in message 6 above.

She has a very tiny, highpitched "mew", so we call her "Squeaky". However she is not tiny in size! the cushions on the couch she is on are 2 feet deep, and she is just touching the backrest with her long fur.

By the way, she's a pretty good match for the carpet (see message 22)

I can't select "Clean Design" to switch it on or off. The box is grayed out

Hi Carrie-Sue. Welcome to the Forum.

Maybe you have Trimmed Mode selected. That is also on the View menu.

I already looked into that and there was no numbers or product key visible with WIN-7 OS

Are you looking at Help/Registration Wizard, or Help/About? You need the former.

Some people are just too fussy! It is something that happens in everyday speech.

I don't have the Product Key

Why not?

Was this AI in action?

Yes.

Did any of the links in your "localizable sentences" question connect to any of your articles?

It is a cunning device to prevent - by choice - people thinking

Artificial intelligence (AI) is not intended to stop people from thinking for themselves. Instead, AI is designed to augment human intelligence and help people make better decisions 1. AI can help people analyze large amounts of data, identify patterns, and make predictions that would be difficult or impossible for humans to do on their own 1.

AI can also help people automate repetitive tasks, freeing up time for more creative and complex work 1. However, AI is not a replacement for human intelligence. AI systems are designed to work alongside humans, not replace them 1.

In fact, some experts predict that using AI at a larger scale will add as much as $15.7 trillion to the global economy by 2030 1. While AI is changing how companies work, many believe that who does this work will change too - and that organizations will begin to replace human employees with intelligent machines 1. However, this trend has led some to conclude that in 2040 our workforce may be totally unrecognizable 1.

In conclusion, AI is not intended to stop people from thinking for themselves. Instead, it is designed to augment human intelligence and help people make better decisions. While AI may change the way we work in the future, it is unlikely to replace human intelligence entirely.

Bing has introduced AI power to answer your questions. Maybe that, or something similar  is what the Mirror uses.

I have found it to be quite handy, and quite accurate.

I think you will need the original CD (or original download if that is what you bought) and install from that using the product Key supplied..

I have PagePlus X8 installed and working on Windows 10, so I would expect it would work OK on Windows 11, just as PagePlus X9 does.

I'm glad you've got it sorted. A reset does things a re-installation doesn't, so its always worth a try when the program is misbehaving in puzzling ways.

Check the Arrange tab to ensure Lock Objects is not checked.

You might also try a Reset. Hold Ctrl key while opening PagePlus.
