Thanks Neil. I envy you having been able for so long to enjoy being
a Mac user. Some of us take a bit longer to learn about the finer
things in life :)
Perhaps your tip only applies to Leopard, I am still with Tiger.
Command-tab for me just brings up the dock while Command-tilde does
nothing at all. The same applies to Eugene's tip, it brings up the dock.
I know that Shift+Option+K = but how do I type the Command symbol?
I've had a look at the Keyboard Viewer but not sure how it works.

Laura

Hi Laura,
Congratulations on your successful publication!
One of the things I love about the Mac is how it allows you to be
creative
and even makes it fun :)
I have been using Macs now for at least 20 years but I'm still
constantly
amazed at finding new tips/tricks/features (and many from this list).
My latest:
Although I'd known for many years that ⌘tab cycled through your open
applications, it was only recently that I learnt that ⌘~ cycled
through the
open windows of your current application - now I use it all the time!
(in case your mail browser doesn't display the symbol properly that's
Command-tab to cycle applications and Command-tilde to cycle windows)
Have fun!
Cheers
Neil

Good morning all
Recently I was given a great deal of help with the scanning of photos
that I wanted to use to make an on line photo album. Thanks to all
your advice, particularly Ronni, Neil and Susan, I have now created
my first photo book using Snapfish (recommended by Susan). It's a
great site and, interestingly, is now part of the iiNet freezone. I
arranged for the book to be forwarded direct to the recipient who is
delighted with the result. It's true that now having seen the
finished product I can see room for improvement with the next one but
that's part of the learning process.
On a totally different subject, while searching for some information
on French train journeys and using a French language site, even
though my French is very basic, I saw alongside the result of one of
my searches what looked like the iCal icon. Curious, I clicked on it
and am amazed to find that the information has been sent to iCal on
my Macbook, appearing on the appropriate date in September. Maybe
this is not news to all you very experienced Mac users but for me it
seemed like a small miracle!!
Regards
Laura
