Hi, thanks for the tips on the url will try asap.
brian, it's where the wlm says, share something new, I think. It's really odd, but I was writing an im to a friend and somehow closed the window or something and that im ended up being my status...good thing it wasn't...er well uh nevermind. But I also know you can update it through your profile. No, the status pulldown in the file menu is just for online vs. away status.

Bahr On 3/14/2011 7:53 AM, Aaron Smith wrote:Dave, F6 to the history window, arrow to the URL, and press enter. There's no need to select and paste, nor use the mouse. This functionality has existed in Windows Messenger for some time. Aaron On 3/14/2011 9:48 AM, Dave bahr wrote:Well that just makes me want to switch back to wlm 14, if that's the case. So as of right now if I wanted to click on a url I would need to paste the conversation into notepad and then copy the url from there? Doing control shift right and left arrow on the url selects it a chunk at a time in wlm 2011, and shift up or down arrow only selects a part of it, not the whole thing, in the history window. Is there another way to simulate a left click somehow? Dave C. Bahr On 3/14/2011 6:16 AM, Aaron Smith wrote:Yes. We're just talking about mouse navigation.

That means that there is no OSM for Window-Eyes to use to position the mouse around the window. As this technology becomes more prevalent, there will be less of an OSM for Window-Eyes to use. You will find the same drawback in Internet Explore 9, as it also uses DirectUI. We will be trying to work around these issues as time goes on; we recognize the importance of being able to review the screen with the mouse. But as this technology progresses, relying on mouse navigation may become a secondary option. Aaron On 3/14/2011 2:15 AM, Dave bahr wrote:Hi all, yet again. Apologies for posting so often.
