If you stay within one culture, say, USA, most people (still not all) will agree on what is "common sense" (ask Dear Abby, for example). Once you go across cultures, none of it applies. Do not assume all people think like Americans - most don't. ;-) That said, I agree wth syv that the keyboard shortcuts should be documented, and I agree with you that there is no way I can remember all of them. I am certainly not a Mouse Guy, hell, I'm not even a GUI person. I use alt-F2 rather than hitting the Check All button with the mouse, but I perfectly agree that the mouse made many things a lot easier for people advancing in age <g>. FWIW the keyboard shortcuts crtl-C and crtl-V are *not* intuitive. Bit we use them a lot, and they are the same in every proggie. That's why we remember them. When windows was jsut new, WordPerfect was still a rather well-known word processing software. It used keyboard shortcuts like no other, and a friend of mine, being a legal secretary and therefore having to type a lot, used it and loved it. I could never quite remember all these crtl-F5 and shit-F4 and all these, and preferred Word: clicke-ti-click. There you go. On the question: What's better - mouse or keyboard, I contradict myself. Bottom line: I use both. ;-) -- Cheers, Thomas. Moderator der deutschen The Bat! Beginner Liste. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
