[GUI-Talk] firefox & other things

[Curtis Chong]

	Hello Rob:

" When I launch word (I'm using Word 2013) it doesn't bring up an empty
document. It seems to bring up a menu instead. Is there a fix for this?"

Yes, you can change this behavior. What you're seeing is the back stage
menu. When this comes up, press Enter to get into the blank document. Now,
go into the File menu with Alt F and select Options. Tab until you get to
the check box which says show the back stage view. Uncheck it. That's it.

Note also that in Word 2013 and later versions, it is better to use F12 to
open a document or Control F12 to get to the Save As... dialog.

Write to me off line if you have additional questions. Note that as things
move along, it will become increasingly advantageous for the blind to be
using Office 365, which is now all the way up to 2016.

Cordially,

Curtis Chong

Subject: [GUI-Talk] firefox & other things

Hello all:

 

About a week ago, I wrote that my Firefox was slow. I was given an answer
about the version I should be running. I'm running the correct version. For
whatever reason, it seems to take forever when I launch Firefox. I can go t
other sites from the home page without much trouble. I know Google krome is
faster, but some of my music sites don't work with Krome.

 

Here is my other situation:

 

When I launch word (I'm using Word 2013) it doesn't bring up an empty
document. It seems to bring up a menu instead. Is there a fix for this?

 

Thanks in advance.
