Microsoft Office for Mac 2016 Preview | Accessibility of Tables in MS Word

Hi list, Just downloaded the preview, and accessibility seems pretty good on first glance when creating simple documents, even when using some of the built-in templates. However, I tried using Word to open some existing documents I was working on at work, but couldn’t seem to interact with the

Good monitor and keyboard for the mac

Hi all. So after a year or so in the case of the monitor and months in the case of the keyboard, they both have stopped working. The power part of the monitor ceased to function last week, and the control, escape, number 5, f8 keys don't work anymore. So, I'd like advice on inexpensive but well-

Questions about using preview on the Mac

Thanks, that could explain it. I use the popup menu when I can, but I often need to drill down further into a selected location's subfolders, or the folder I want isn't there at all. I wonder if one can customize that? Anyway, that's a different email thread. :) > On May 18, 2015, at 8:01 PM, Ti

Re: Files Sometimes Going into Subfolders in Save Dialogs

Hi Alex, I use List view as well. As far as I can tell, here’s the way it goes: • The file is first directed to the location displayed in the “Where” pop-up in the main Save dialog. • If you interact with the List view table, then various things could occur. • Once you start navigating in the f

I also experience this hit ands miss behavior from time to time. I find that when I stay in list view and open folders with command-down arrow, I am able to pretty much always predict where files will go. Column view has never been a sure fire approach here. Take care and have a great day. Jami

Re: Files Sometimes Going into Subfolders in Save Dialogs

I get this behaviour too, even in column view sometimes. The Mac save dialogs confuse me quite a bit. It always feels a bit hit and miss. There's the pop up button and the side bar, and I never know for sure where things are being saved to. So you're not alone Alex. Sorry I can't help. Lisette
