What happens when you change the sort order, and then go back to Sort by First Name?

Charmap

Yep thats it but I press an icon on the desktop and the drop down looks exactly the same as Charmap

greenforde - 2021-06-06 14:51:00

Where is the icon for Charmap on the computer taskbar?

greenforde - 2021-06-06 14:52:00
23

It's not. Use the search function beside the start button at lower left of your screen to find it.

Here's mine:

Make a new shortcut on the desktop to charmap, and then drag it onto the taskbar.

in word it's insert -> shapes

But it would be real helpful if you started with exactly what program you are using when asking questions

Windows 10 as I said the icon looks like an O with little feet at the bottom facing out left and right.

greenforde - 2021-06-06 16:26:00

Windows 10 is the operating system. You will be accessing your emails using a program which is installed on top of that.

Also when you are writing whatever document you want to put these boxes, ticks, arrows or whatever into you will be using an installed program WITHIN Windows 10.

^There are many ways to get a screenshot. I would recommend the inbuilt windows software "snip and sketch" Here are a bunch of ways to do it explained. https://www.businessinsider.com.au/how-to-screenshot-on-wind
ows?r=US&IR=T

Once you have your picture here is how to upload it to the messageboard.

1. Go to your “My Trade Me” page, click “my photos”
2. Click “Upload photo”
3. Browse to, and upload your photo from your computer.
4. Click “view your photos”
5. Double click the uploaded photo
6. Highlight the URL in the top bar of your browser
7. Right click the highlighted URL, select copy
8. Right click the thread where you want to place your photo and select paste.

Use the snipping tool on windows to get the pic. Then upload it to trademe just as you would any other pic of an item you're selling. Then go "my trademe/photos', click view photos.click on the pic you've uploaded. Click into the address bar, then RIGHT click the addy and copy. Come back here and make a comment and right click in the comment box and Paste the pic addy .

You guys have been fantastic thank your for trying. I am just geting condfused as I don't understand what you are telling me. I really did try though. The Pesky icon can stay there

People like myself are really struggling to understand what you are looking at.

If you take a picture of the Outlook program you are using then will be much easier for us to help, as we could see what the mystery icon is. I suspect it is Outlook grouping your sorted emails but not clear.

You have done a lot of trades, so you must be familiar with uploading pictures to TradeMe.

While you could take a photo of your screen, Windows has a useful little tool built in to take screenshots of what you are seeing.

Just start typing 'snip' into the Windows search bar on the bottom right of the task bar along the bottom of the screen. You should be able to experiment with capturing what is displayed on your screen and uploading it to TradeMe so we can see.

Greenforde, here is a list of the outlook icons. Is it one of these? - If not, how many feet are pointing out?

Here you go, it seems to be just to separate email addresses that don't fit into an alpha-numeric system. i.e. those with special characters.

Good luck, it seems it is there to be helpful rather than unhelpful. check if your email addresses are entered correctlyt, and go from there.

zirconium - 2021-06-07 12:18:00

After 43 emails I finally got my address book back in alphabetical order how? just copied the email adresss that were out of order and put them in as new contact. I then delected them from my adress book. The pesky ohm symbol has gone Now can you please help me to just kidding

Sounds like you could have resolved it by closing outlook, then right clicking start, clicking run, and typing
outlook.exe /cleanviews
