[Ct-nfb] window 7?

I agree I do not prefer these ribbons.  You have to search around and  use 
different key strokes just within the same area.

Hi, Joe.  I am using Windows 7 and it took some getting used to at  first.  
My Windows 7 also forced me to go to MS Office 2010 which is  challanging 
as it does not work like former versions of MS Office. No more  drop down 
menus.  They’ve transformed everything to these things called  ribbons which 
are a different beast all together.
 
I also had to spend $550 to upgrade my JFW program.
Not much advantage there.
 
I use Windows XP with MS Office 2003 at work and Windows 7 with MS Office  
2010 at home.
 
I like the old way as I know it like the back of my hand but I’m learning  
the ribbons with time and effort.
 
Windows is just an operating system so I don’t use it.  It just runs  
mostly.  Windows explorer is different and that took time to learn.   I was very 
frustrated with downloading books from NLS.  It was trial and  error but now 
I can do it in my sleep so practice makes perfect.
 


 


 
I  also use Windows Live for email now which I do not like nearly as much 
as  Outlook.  I’m still trying to figure out how to edit an address in my  
contacts list.  Was given instructions by a tech friend but those  
instructions do not work.

 


 
Still  working on it.

 


 


 
I  also had to mess around with settings so I got the sender and subject  
info...it was originally just showing subject text.  I messed with view  
settings and got it to work.

 


 
I  suppose if I had the patience to review all the JFW tutorials I’d be 
ahead of  where I am now but I lack patience for the most part.  I did order a 
book  from NBP on Word 2010 and am planning to focus some energy on learning 
it as  sooner or later my office will upgrade and it’s good I learned the 
basics at  home so I’m not fumbling at work when that happens.
