Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
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.
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.
Bless you, Sophia, that is the exact type of thing I was looking for! Thanks!
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.
Why should a touchpad be different? Wouldn't it be easier for new users if it weren't?
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.
ita is exactly right! One is the screen an the other reminds me of a mouse.
(ok, that has been bothering me)
