And I’m posting on TRF. Isn’t technology great?


And as a side note, am I the only person on the board who both loves and hates getting a new computer? I love it for the newness and cool factor and hate it for the five plus hours it takes for me to install all my essentials, adjust everything so it is customized just so and in general get ‘settled in’. Ooooh, wait, that feels better. at’s going to take me days to get this thing customized.

i swear we have to frame this thread.

Anyone remember how to turn off the curly quotes in MS Word? I hate those blasted things...

Use Wordpad instead.

Ditto

Wordpad? blech


Microsoft Office suite all the way.

...curly quotes? as in just straight lines instead? Tools>autocorrect options>autoformat as you type tab>uncheck the first one, something about replacing straight with curly.

isnt that the little post-it thing that flys around the screen giving pointers?

That's it OS, thanks! I was digging in options and customization. Completly missed that menu item.

Mine's a dog and his name is Rocky.

He's there so I have something to distract me though. Even though my knowledge of computers is well above average (hey, I build my own computers), my major required that I take a 101 level computer confluence class. Sooo many computer illiterate people in there, it's comical. Easiest 5 credits ever to be made.

The first day... we learned... HOW TO MAKE A SHORTCUT ON THE DESKTOP! WHOOO!

Now we're memorizing the entire Microsoft Office suite, which I did 5 years ago in my Microsoft Office class in high school. *sigh*

I still can't get used to that avatar of yours. Looks so damn painful.
