Residency
Contrary to John’s post you do need to renew your residencia after five years, the one you get then is permanent. You go to the same place you got the original. In Torre del Mar it is the Comsaria de police. When we did it last year we only needed passports, application form and original residencia. (and copies of course) We then had to take the form we were given to the bank and pay the fee before returning to pick up the card. A form to download is available here http://www.ub.edu/uri/Documents/ex18.pdf
Note though that this is renewal, to apply in the first place has become more complicated with questions on income and health care being possible. From what I have heard it varies from place to place so anyone seeking their first residencia may be well advised to go to their local office and ask what they need first.

Open Office Problem
Despite having written four books, dozens of articles, quizzes etc using Open Office for Windows 7, whilst typing away I inadvertently touched a key, or combination of keys, which shrunk my page view to “tiny”. Nothing I have tried, including using the help menu (no help, are they ever?) will restore it to normal so I can carry on. The really strange thing is that all my other documents have shrunk as well. Help! I’m sure its something stupid, but can’t work it out. Is Page Preview anything to do with it? If it is I can’t find an instruction on how to get out of preview mode. And why would that affect any document other than the one I’m working on?
Answers please to carolemhart@yahoo.com.

Services Wanted– response
I have used a company called Transferwise (https:\\transferwise.com)
on several occasions now to transfer money toSpain and to New Zealand.
I much prefer them to the company I had used for several years in
the past. They have proved to be excellent with very rapid transfer times, exceptionally good exchange rates, low cost fees which are specified
and not a percentage of the transfer value and quite a simple user interface. Hope this helps the requester!! Kind regards, Peter.

Recommendation – Men with Vans
I can highly recommend “Men with Vans” – John and Alex have just moved a houseful of furniture for me from Competa to Torrox. Very professional and helpful, and very competitively priced. They turned up on time and worked until the job was completed. I have asked them to carry out some more work for me as they are so reliable.
Their telephone number is 602 438 130
Steve,
Competa.
Recommendation Doctor Laptop – Bouquet 
Dr. Laptop has just given my laptop and my Samsung tablet a thorough service because they were running grindingly slow. He also backed up my info onto my external hard drive device.
My goodness, what a difference there is to my internet connection times and how things are working. For services to three different devices he charged me less than 70 euros and explained everything to me… I have no hesitation in recommending him. He is sympathetic to technophobes like me!
He is in Nerja at the bottom of Av. Castilla Perez, easy to find.

Recommendation Needed Language School & Other Services
Can anyone recommend a language school in Nerja or nearby for a newbie eager to learn Spanish? I’d prefer an intensive course…at least for a few weeks.
I’m also looking for a chiropodist, a hairdresser and good place for manicure/pedicures. Would appreciate any suggestions!
Thanks! Melissa
