Re: Microsoft's Own Security Chief Says: STOP using Internet Explorer

I always recommend The Old Reader for RSS. It’s web based and fully accessible.

There are free as well as paid options. I choose to pay for the extra services as well as to support them. I’m grandfathered in at a $2.00 a month price for up to 500 feeds, but I think it may now be $2.50 or maybe $3.00 a month. I’m not sure.

The Old Reader can also sync with various mobile apps if you’ve got an Android or iOS device.

Have you ever tried using Thunderbird? That's what I use and it's quite good for me. Maybe you should give it a try as well.

To be honest I wouldn't bother with a disk drive.

The newest slimline usb powered lg drives are super light and only cost 40 dollars.

Pluss once you have that drive you can run any tablet, or ultrabook.

You can also use it on a tv.

Tablets unless they are the expensive ms ones are well quite small.

4-8gb ram and anything from 8gb to 64gb flash memmory.

The microsoft ones can take up to 1tb of storage and some lenovos.

For myself this hp I have now is basically an entertainment ultrabook with 2 drives, and while slightly heavier than my cloud based ultra  my aunt owns, for all it is its half the thickness of my older bulky and slower workstation.

Re: donating

Quentin Christensen
 

Hi Howard,

No NVDA is not dying, I don't know where that rumour started.  We are going strong :)

If you would instead like something tangible for your contribution, if you haven't already, you might consider purchasing the training material or the certification, which you can get from the site:


Kind regards

Quentin.

I did want to donate in 2018 as I did in 2017, but time got away.  Now, I hesitate only because of these messages about NVDA dying.  Once, I donated to the local public TV station because they said it would keep a particular program on the air.  The program is gone and so is my donation.  Hence forth, I am very careful.

Hi Monte,

Firstly thank you for your support!

As others have noted, and Brian gave steps for, you definitely should be able to donate without having a PayPal account, although it does use PayPal to process the payment.  You should be able to enter your credit card information as Brian said.  Do let us know if you are still having problems.

Kind regards

Quentin.

Can I donate without setting up paypal?

Re: Autocorrect question.

Quentin Christensen
 

It's in Proofing options:

1. Press alt+f, then t to open options
2. Press CONTROL+TAB twice to move down to "Proofing" then press alt+a to open auto correct options.
3. The focus is in "Replace", so type the string you want to replace "a.*
4. Press TAB then type the string to replace it with "A
5. Press ALT+A to add that and ENTER to activate OK.
6. Press TAB to move off the autocorrect button then press ENTER to activate OK again.

Now you should be able to type "a.* and it should change it as soon as you press the *.

In LibreOffice and OO, OpenOffice, there are certain commands you can do to make autocorrect do things it would not normally do, such as capitalize the first letter of a sentence when quoting. I'm trying to apply the below modification to the MS Office desktop program. If anyone has any suggestions, let me know, after reading the below.


In LO and OO I can type the below string into the replace box, and the program will automatically correct the word or phrase without me having to hit space or similar.

For example, if I type,

"a.*

LO and OO transforms it to,

"A

without me having to hit space or period or similar. Does anybody know how I can do this in MS Word? It makes novel editing a hellscape when I am working on draft 2. And, yes, I know where the shift key is, but I really don't want to break the flow when quoting while writing draft 1. And, unfortunately, MS Word has the far superior grammar checker built in.

Re: Fn Key Issues

Now that I actually think about my response, I'm stupid, Ok, not really. But I realise I don't think sharp keys will work for the original poster. They want to press control then function not the reverse. If that is the case I don't think remapping will help in this case, eh?

On 11 Feb 2019, at 14:35, Nimer Jaber wrote:

You can change the function of whichever key you wish to with sharpkeys. As an example, I often change the function of the printscreen key to an applications key on Lenovo laptops. One work-around if a user does not wish to adjust the setting with the hotkey or in the bios is to change the function of the multimedia keys to perform f1-f12 functions.

Thanks.

But as stated that is for IO devices. The external keyboard although an input device I don't think can have its function key changed in such a way as the user is wanting. I would google though and see if you can come up with anything per the model of your keyboard.

Hello,

Often times, a machine may have a hotkey combination which will change the behavior of the function key. When this is not the case, there should be a BIOS setting. Yes, Sarah, technically you probably could use sharpkeys but there really isn't a need as this behavior can be changed.

Thanks.
