If I were msbelle I would shake my wee fists in rage, but I'm not.

I have all the ASCII codes memorized so it's just as easy on a PC, especially since I have them all set as macros on my own computer (alt+e is the é for example). I could never get used to a mac when I had one. I imagine this is why this old-school author is having trouble.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

That's still correct for the Mac -- not just for Word, but all programs.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir

also on the iPhone. If you hold the letter down, you can get international letters/accents to pop up (assuming you have this preference selected, of course). Gotta love Apple.

If I have a jpeg file, how can I tell what the resolution is?

You can probably right click on it and select "properties...". One of the tabs should show information about the image including resolution.

I had to open an image in Photo software (MS Picture Manager)to see the resolution in Windows XP. A general right click only gave me file size and dimension.

Yeah, I'm just getting a size of 1.88 MB (1,975,687 bytes) in Properties but no other info. If I click on "Actual Size" in the Windows Picture and Fax Viewer, it looks huge (I see maybe 1/6 of it on my monitor).

I'm using Vista at the moment, looks like they added more details.

Similarly, if you open the jpg in MSPaint, and click on Image > Attributes, it'll show resolution there.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Random survey!

For those who work in IT, how big is/are your monitor(s)?

My work computer has two 1280x1024 LCD monitors, but I want bigger ones, as several systems I remote into have bigger displays than that, which is annoying....
