Re: Question about bluetooth

Yes, the switch-over is completely automatic. In my fiancé's car, the audio system handles the call. Both of us can talk with the caller. The car's mic is properly placed to pick up the people in the front seats. The caller's voice comes over the car's audio speakers. David Chittenden, MSc,

I should have said "I don't like to change it', rather than "I don't recommend changing it". Yes, it's absolutely personal preference. I prefer it the Mac way because I feel like I have a more accurate representation of where I am, and can keep track of it better. Knowing which two characters

Chris, So I am not a big fan of the toyota electronics but that’s me personally. I have the ford sync system so you know where I’m coming from but I think the questions you ask are basic enough it’s the same on all systems. If an incoming call comes in the audio system automatically

Re: Problem with text editor help please

Hey Tim, yes fair enough. I should be pulled up on that phraseology. I think the majority of screen readers use the "to the right of cursor" method, which has made it something of a convention. But then, the majority of screen readers are for Windows, and there's no reason at all why the Mac

Re: Question about bluetooth

Chris, if your car radio takes over the A2DP outbound channel then you’ll have lost voice over unless you grab it through some other means like a wired headset. There may be a way around this for example disabling the A2DP but leaving the hands free enabled but I haven’t played with this

Re: Numbers Cell Format Help.

Chris’s solution worked for me. The cell format has to be set to “numerical system”, not “numbers”, for this to work. However, this will force a specific number of numerical places to be displayed. For instance, if you set it to ten and enter 001234, the cell will show as 001234. Setting
