Bill, I tried the spacebar on the combo box before posting and it does nothing. I tried a few different keystrokes on the box and alt + down arrow was what opened it has in other programs. The problem

Hi Brian, Thanks for the reply and the confirmation. I’ll sort out how to contact Microsoft Accessibility in order to report this. I surely can’t believe this behavior is by design. And also thanks fo

Hi List, I’m using Fusion 2020 and am learning a new Outlook 2019 on a new Windows 10 computer. I noted the advanced find keystroke of ctrl + shift + f buried in the Email Clients thread that seems to

Gezim, I don't think I read your original post about your missing new Passport hard disk. I'm assuming this is an external USB disk drive. Does it have its own power so it must be plugged into an outl

I'm a big fan of Windows Run commands. You can press the Windows key + r to open a run command window and type diskmgmt.msc in the text box and press enter to bring up a file explorer window with your

Brian, I really don't have any specific examples as is typical when a curmudgeonly dinosaur like me goes on a rant. I think I'm more remembering my sighted days when upgrading between really older Win

James, I'm right there with you. UI changes are the bane of my existence. It's as if the developers forget that they have an existing user group who has bothered to learn how a program operates and th

Thanks, Adrian. You make some excellent points and I'm adapting my thinking on Microsoft Office updates. Alan

Brian, I agree completely regarding Excel and Word and as I said in my last post, I'm becoming a convert to agreeing with the necessity of security updates especially with Outlook. But I still think t

Brian, Thanks for your knowledge and comments about updates. That is why I'm on these lists to get the benefit of others who know a lot more than I do on these things. I'll be more open-minded than I

Hi Shan, Maybe you could explain to me what the security risk is for using Excel 2010 or Word 2010? No software can be made that is risk-free to being attacked if one uses them without using common se

Hi Judy, I'm pretty sure you can still purchase Office 2019 Pro directly from Microsoft but probably for the cost of your first born. I was looking at the many sellers on eBay of the Microsoft Office

HI Adrian, I got into this whole Office update thing because I recently got a new Windows 10 computer and am getting more concerned about Outlook 2010 being considered an insecure app. I was able to t

Sieghard, Thanks for the recommendation. My main issue with Microsoft 365 Personal is being able to control when the component apps are updated. I really don't like my computer or its resident softwar

Brian, I understand about security updates and their importance and expect it's time to move to a newer version of Microsoft Office. I'm not a fan of subscription models and their continuous updates a

Well, as long as I can still send and receive emails with Outlook 2010 and the other programs in Office 2010 Pro continue to work, I really don't care whether Microsoft supports them or not. I've been
