Default Profile not setting Backgroud
Hello, this is driving me nuts! I'm just preparing our template for Windows Server 2025 VM rollout. I try to set a solid background in the default profile (c:\uses\default\ntuser.dat), so every new user gets this as default background. I have set HKCU\Control Panel\Colors Background REG_SZ 50 84 154 HKCU\Control Panel\Desktop Wallpaper REG_SZ HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\DesktopSpotlight\Settings EnabledState DWORD 0 HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Wallpapers BackgroundType DWORD 1 but every new user/profile still gets the windows default background image (C:\WINDOWS\web\wallpaper\Windows\img0.jpg). Don't want to use GPOs, as the setting should be optional. All other settings from teh default profile copy all right. Anyone any idea? Thanx! Cheers __Leo

Grammar Checker Not as Good as It Used to Be
I'm an editor, and I've been using MSWord since it took over the market in the 1990s. I have my settings set rather tightly. Yet, this summer I find spelling and punctuation errors that the grammar checker would have caught a year ago. And it's suggested fixes includes more semicolons than anyone uses today. My gut says that it uses AI rather than whatever engine it used to use.POSETTE - What’s New with Azure Database for PostgreSQL - Flexible Server in 2025 🆕

Hi I'm trying to figure out a way to make a line that covers the entire row and sits in the middle, until a text is typed, then it starts to get shorter until it should eventually disappear as the text fills the whole row. I've tested lot's of options but none of them provided a desired solution, such as inserting a text box which just get's pushed onto the next row, etc... Unless there is a setting directly in word that would allow this, it might have to be a job for VBA, which I've never tried before. if anybody knows how to achieve this I'd be most grateful. Visual representation of the desired effect in the picture bellow done with line shapes and manual adjustment.
