Re: Buying Music

How do you purchase and download music without using the Amazon Music app? I too remember how difficult it got to buy usic and then download it, so I stopped using Amazon. -Original Message- From: William Vandervest via Talk Sent: Thursday, September 08, 2016 7:48 PM To: Dave ; Window

Hi Robin, Press these keystrokes, one at a time: Alt, v, y, o This opens the multi-tab Folder Options dialog you'll remember from Windows 7. The View tab has the Apply to all folders button you need. Smile Hth, Rod -Original Message- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+rod_hutton=hotmail

Re: OT: Buying Music

you no longer need to use the amazon music app to buy or download albums or single songs, single songs are downloaded as mp3 files and albums are downloaded as mp3 files all in a zip file, they still ask you to use or install the amazon music app, but you can choose to use your default download

Windows 10; printing a document

Okay, I have made the leap from XP to 10. I get lost in the ribbon. I have opened up File Explorer, have found a *.doc in Documents, and want to print it. With the item selected, I've tried using the context/applications key and did not find a print option. The Send to pulldown did not include a

icons on firefox toolbar

Hi all, So, I'm wondering. Does anyone know of a good way to access the icons on the firefox toolbar? The ones that programs love to put there because it's convenient with the mouse, but since window-eyes can't read with the mouse keys, how do you get there? If I use the control-shift-w hotkey

OT: Buying Music

Hi: I googled it and it looks like a reputable product. The reviews I read said it is very similar to WindowsXP version of Outlook Express. Let me know how you find using it, the setup process and the accessibility - does it use the Menu Dropdowns like Outlook Express did? Outlook Express was indee

Re: new laptop keyboard issue

Dell is the same way, or perhaps even worse. I thought it would be easy to set up a Dell Inspiron laptop for a family member. It had a full size keyboard wich included a numpad and everything. Boy was I wrong! Instead of the normal functions for function keys, they were all defined for controlli

Re: The Real Value of PDF and Adobe Reader?

Dave, the only stupid questions are those we don't ask. Portable Document format (PDF) was developed to be document and platform independent long before Office was a virtual monopoly. So you could read a PDF document regardless of your operating system and what Office suite you used. I reme

The Real Value of PDF and Adobe Reader?

Hello, This might be a stupid question, but it isn't my first, or my last. What is the value of PDF files? Sure, you can Lock them so no one can alter them, but this can be done with Word files too. Over the years, in general, I have found reading PDF files to be a procedure that about 50

Hi Marcie, Thanks for the wonderful info, and I would onl yadd that, in addition to the OCR software you mentioned, you can use the Virtual View app, engaged with Control-Alt-V, and the third radio button allows you to import a file to recognize, and so one could recognize a PDF in this way. Than
