OK I found a trick that works some of the time. If I insert a note in OO, then exit the note, then go back,select and edit it, I can use the arrow keys inside the edit box to navigate to some of the MS Word comments. Others still don't show up. I think there are incompatibilies between OO notes and MS word comments, though they probably vary with Word and office versions. Since your version is in a differing OS than I have, I can't get you much info via experimentation.

Interesting. I don't have any trouble getting in, just with getting rid of. Thanks for trying, though!

Yeah that was a crosspost after which my computer crashed. Uh,buy you cannot delete while editing. The way you delete is to treat the yellow rectangle as a character. That is SELECT it, but don't double or right click it to open it. Use your mouse so that that you can select it,then use the DELETE key like you would any other mark.

I thought of that, too, but it won't delete when I do that. I guess it's just a weird hiccup or something.

Question for people with Blackberries - can you recieve picture text messages? My Mom says that every time I send her a pic, she gets a text telling her to visit a website to view it, which seems weird to me, but I don't know if it's a T-Mobile thing or a Blackberry thing. She has either a Pearl or a Curve - can't remember which.

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

Apple has submitted a patent for a docking station for an MacBook that looks exactly like an iMac:

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I've gotten the same message on my iphone too. I think the person sending them is on T-Mobile, but I will check.

Oh, I should clarify - she's on T-Mobile. I'm on Verizon, and get picture messages right on my phone, which is why I was confused.

All is well that ends in pizza.

From the T3 website:

According to rumour mongers MacScoop, [iPhone] firmware 1.1.3 will drop during Macworld. The new software will finally allow punters to cut and paste texts and actually send more than one message.

The update is also said to include beefed up Google Maps and changes to the home screen.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I think it's a Blackberry thing. I'm pretty sure that's how DH gets picture messages (I have taken to sending them to his email address instead if his phone number, which he still can't retrieve on the Blackberry but it is less taunty that way) and I think I've gotten pictures sent to me (I'm on T-mobile, he's on Verizon or something) but I don't have any sitting in memory to double check.

Oh, but I'm an idiot, he has a Motorola Q, not a Blackberry.

Am attempting to send myself a picture.
