Hi Gordon or Lynne! :] Just slightly different thing! If you go to read email's with the track pad there is a command for opening the message text that people was having trouble with! I found out by accident the command is one finger on the track pad at the heading field you know subject, date and so on! And press the control key and when your finished press the control key again to go back to headers! The way people were thinking it worked was holding the control key and tapping the track pad and this of course did not work! So they thought it was broken! Like I said I found out by accident, whilst playing with the pad! hth Colin On 23 Jul 2011, at 21:50, Gordon Smith wrote:
