Apple's keynote yesterday

Hello guys Yesterday I listen to the keynote that Apple did. This time, it worked out real good to do the live streaming. I have never done the live one before, because I'm usually working. First, I was able to call it up on my iPhone this time which I really wanted to do. Last time, I couldn't

Re: How do I Access My Favorites in the New Radium Update for the Mac

Re: Apple's keynote yesterday

Hello Donna The first thing they talked about was the AppleTV. It's going to have HBO added to it now. I forgot when is going to come available. Next, as far as I can remember, they talked about the MacBook. It's going to be lighter and the keyboard is going to come out to the very edges of it.

Hi GIGi, thanks for posting. Good to have an overview of what is new. I sort of thought that a lot of it might be about the Apple watch, which isn't all that high on my list. :) Again, thanks for posting this for those of us who couldn't listen to the keynote. Cheers, Donna > On Mar 10, 2015

Disabling the Document Pane in Office Word 2016 Preview?

Hello List, I have installed the beta Microsoft Office 2016 on my MacBook Air 2013. It would be nice to be able to disable the “Document” Pane. I believe that the edit field is under it and the pane is blocking it from voiceover. Hence, this makes Word not accessible to us. I was attempting to

I'm a bit confused. If you disable the document payne, wouldn't that then make it even more? inaccessible? You say the edit field is under it. So, if you get rid of it, wouldn't that then make the edit field go bye bye if that's the case? Or by under it, do you mean more under the hood, it's
