What is the word used to describe a piece of writing which is suppose to be subjective but?

February 15, 2010 - 8:57 am 1 Comment

is littered with personal opinions which break down the value of it’s claims and therefore is obviously not objective and probably cannot be taken very seriously? I think it starts with a "p" but I can’t remember it. It’s not a word that you hear every day. In fact, I’ve never heard anyone use this word except English professors.
old man: thanks, but it is neither of those. Those are both commonly used words and this particular word I’m looking for is not commonly used.

I believe the word you are looking for is "Opinionated"
or you could say ‘presumptuous’

What is the word for having a prejudice against someone based upon personal experiences?

February 8, 2010 - 2:13 am 3 Comments

It might be a prejudice but I think prejudice may be something that is more a preconcieved view. What if you don’t have any pre-conceived views or prejudices against certain people but then when you encounter and have experiences with them, you find that you don’t like them because of the way they act towards you and find other people in that group very simliar and based upon those personal experiences you don’t like them.

Is the correct word prejudice or is there another word?

Dislike.

How can i remove special characters from my word document?

February 5, 2010 - 2:09 pm 1 Comment

My converter failed on my old microsoft word program, so i went from word 97 to word 07. When i transferred my file, about half the document appeared with special characters in them. How can i delete these without having to go word to word and manually doing it?

What special characters are you talking about? You can do a find and replace to delete almost any character – and you can choose to replace all instances in one operation in a document. Give us more details if you can’t do it this way.

I can’t remember this word and it’s not philanthropist or altruist. it’s a similar word with the meaning of living humble, saving and later donating money for charities or an expensive hobby. or maybe the whole meaning of the word is to live humble. can anyone guess which word I’m looking for?

I am doing an exam next week and want a few alternative words for the word "check" to enlarge my vocabulary.

Example:

"I checked the receipts to the bank account."

The more words the better.

Cheers for answers.
I should have also said it is Business type paper.

Examine – eg She checks her face in the mirror every morning.
Confirm the truth or accuracy of something – “I’ll just check with the doctor about your medication”.
Halt or slow something – the government are planning more changes in an effort to check inflation
Stop Suddenly: – He checked himself mid sentence as he realised the truth
Hand over your Baggage – Check your suitcase in at arrivals desk
In Chess – Check before Checkmate
Looking at somebody or something – “Check out that one!”
Squared pattern – as on a checkered flag
The Bill in a restaurant – “check please”
Checks & Balances – a system of distribution of power among the executive, legislative, and judicial branches of government to make sure entire government is not being controlled by one single branch

What is the best way to search for a word withing several word documents?

December 5, 2009 - 7:28 am 4 Comments

Hello,

I want to search for a word within the word documents in a directory. I use Windows Vista and Office 2007. I tried the Windows Explorer search engine but it didn’t word (although I had explicitly chosen the option that it should search within the content of the file and not only the names). For example, Adobe Reader has a beautiful search engine that allows one to search all the pdfs in a certain directory. Is there something similar for Word? Thank you.

You have to setup Desktop search and then filter files to *.doc and keyword.
