use different key strokes just within the same area.</DIV>

<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I also had to spend $550 to upgrade my JFW program.</DIV>
<DIV>Not much advantage there.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I use Windows XP with MS Office 2003 at work and Windows 7 with MS Office
2010 at home.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>

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.</DIV></DIV>

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.</DIV></DIV>
