I was trying to do something in Microsoft Word and I did something that I can turn back to normal and it's driving me crazy for days already.
So here it is. There are some strange squares that show every new line, doesn't matter if they are blank or not. It looks like this:

EDIT:
The OS is Windows 10 if it is of importance.
How to remove them? Please HELP!
File -> Options -> Advanced (tab) -> "Show document content" section -> uncheck "Show text boundaries". As an advice I would suggest do not do "something" you are not sure about ;)

I have to take some long code that I wrote when I didn't know too much and change all the hard-coded numbers to something else .
The numbers are positions on screen, and now I need to make them relative to screen size.
So every 160 on code should turn into winSize.width/2, and 80 = winSize.width/4.
Is there a simple way to do that in Xcode?
Press
Command+F
when you are ion the file which needs changes.
You will see a bar at the top. On left side there is Find written. Click on it. Yoy will get an option Replace.
Choose Replace.
In String Matching write 160.
In below filed write winSize.width/2. Click on Replace All button.
Do it for value 80 as well.
Or Right Click -> Refactor... -> Rename also works as well as F&R. It gives you an automatic diff like preview of the changes as well, which I think F&R does but you have to click an additional button to get at it.
You can use the Find and Replace from the Project Navigator view
Using VS2010 I wanted to turn on line numbering.
I went to:
Tools -> Options -> Environment with the intention of going to "All Languages" but the option wasn't there - neither was there an option for C# (which was the environment I specified at installation).
So I thought I just need to click "Show All Settings" in the bottom left corner... but it's not there.
All I really want is to turn on the line numbers but I'm kind of stumped without the right options being available.
Can anybody help with this?
From MSDN
To display line numbers in code
1.
On the menu bar, choose Tools, Options.
2.
In the categories list on the left side of the Options window, expand the Text Editor node.
3.
Perform one of the following steps:
◦ To set this option globally, expand the All Languages subfolder.
Depending on your language or setttings, you may also need to select the Show All Settings check box in the Options window to reveal the All Languages subfolder that this procedure mentions.
◦To set this option for a specific language such as Basic, C#, F#, open the subfolder for that language.
4.
Choose the General option.
5.
In the Display section, choose Line numbers.
you can turn on the Line number by going to:
Tools>Option>Text Editor>All Languages> General> mark the the Checkbox of Line numbers as Checked.
Tools -> Options -> TextEditor -> AllLanguages
For C#
Tools -> Options -> TextEditor -> C#
Is it possible to change the width of the text editor in VS2012 - I've got a fairly wide screen and use fairly small text so I end up with a lot wasted real-estate in the middle of my screen.
I don't want to turn off word wrap - I just want the wrap to start further right on the line. If that makes sense!?
You can set this with HTML in Visual Studio 2012 but there is no global setting and it's missing in quite a few languages.
You can just put another "dummy" window next to the one you are writing in, so the actual editor window will be smaller. You can put it on the left if you want to pan the text to the right, and to the right if you want to shorten the lines.
I actually found the answer elsewhere; VS doesn't appear to provide this functionality but Resharper does. Resharper -> Options -> Code Editing -> C# -> Formatting Style -> Line Breaks and Wrapping -> Right margin (columns)
I put mine to 200 which fixed the issue
I know that this is not what you are looking for, but I believe it solves the same problem. I too have a fairly large screen and try to make use of it as optimally as possible.
I hate tabbing between code or design tabs and try to avoid that as much as possible.
VS has a feature that permits the user to create Horizontal or Vertical Tab groups and ever since I have started using it, I have found it very helpful. These options are present in the context menu by right clicking the tab or in the VS Window Menu (Menus are seen only if the tab groups feature is not active).
I have created a screenshot with Vertical Tab Groups created as shown below. In this example, I have a overview of both the designer and the code view at the same time.
We can use tab groups whenever there is a dependency such as comparing code, redesigning a module, etc. I know it takes a little time to get used to this feature but try it out and see :)
I can't find the Reformat button, I know I can use ctrl+k+d, but I wish to have also the toolbar with the button. can someone help me ?
You can use Edit > Advanced > Format Document and you can also move this as a button to any toolbar. Go to Tools > Customize > Commands, select Toolbar and push Add Command button. Then select Edit category and find Document Format.
Apparently VS2010 (maybe others) hide certain commands depending on the style you choose. I chose Web Dev (code) as my choice and the Document Format is not present to be added to a toolbar. But, if I change to C# Code (tools>Import/Export) then the Document Format command is right there in the Edit menu where others here have said it is.
I had to import the C# Dev layout, but unchecked colors and code formatting options (so it won't overwrite those). What section you must import to get the format document button, I don't know, I didn't experiment that deep.
Seems stupid MS chose to force us down specific paths for layout with no convenient way to get out of it.
If you can't find it in the Edit menu: you can also find it if you press CTRL + P and then type >format. The shortcut is SHIFT + ALT + F
In Xcode 3 I use to be able to select some text, right click and search for that text.
However in Xcode 4 this seems to have disappeared ?
Is there a quick alternative instead ?
EDIT
I'd select some source code and it would find all occurences in the rest of the source code.
Select text; cmd-E
Then Shift-cmd-F; return
Boom.
Select your text, hit command-E ("use selection for find") and command-G to iterate through results.
Find in Workspace appears to be fundamentally broken in Xcode 4.
Someone else posted a workaround: toggle the Assistant Editor button to enable the menu item. However it still is not available for text in the debug output area.
Search in workspace (you can read the keyboard abbreviation in Edit -> Find -> find in workspace
You can always try some keyboard shortcuts combination once your text is selected:
command+C
command+F (if you want to
search in the current file, otherwise
shift+command+F to look into the
whole project)
command+V
Then you can iterate through the results with command+G to go forward or shift+command+G to go backward.
Hope this helps.
