Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

When I search on google voice from my Galaxy there are no relevant hits. Free or not. However, the app on my Android phone isn't bad--what do you feel is wrong with it?

My main problem is that I get texts twice. I wish there were a way to resolve that.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

le nubian - if you're responding to me, it's an outside website. They redo it. Constantly. I've asked the person who manages HR matters, but it's not really high on her priority list.

The one thing they do keep? the stock photo that HAD to be included and the descriptive phrase. I put in "shit they make me do". THAT stays constant.

Has anyone linked to a good cheat sheet for Word 2007 here? My new job uses it and I'd love a handy reference until I get used to the crazy.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

megan,

I think there is a link that shows you what the commands were in the previous version and what they are now.

maybe in the help menu?

megan-

I can email you the one we have at my job. It is an excel spreadsheet of the old menus telling you were the items are on the new ribbon.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I KNOW WHAT IT IS. On the iPad and the iPod you are using a touchscreen so the idiom is different from a touchpad, and I think that's perfectly cromulent.

Sorry. Don't know why that a) took so long b) came out so forcefully.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Why should a touchpad be different? Wouldn't it be easier for new users if it weren't?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

First off, I hate new users. They're the reason for the MS Office ribbon and why I can't find anything.

Secondly, I have no reason to assume a touchpad and a touchscreen need to behave the same--I want a touchpad to behave like a mouse (I guess it's the scroll wheel movement) BECAUSE I'M OLD, and I want a touchscreen to move the things on the screen where I put them with my finger.
