Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Prostate Cancer / January 2004scae tissue
i want to thank everyone who responded to my question on scar tissue and the procedures for dealing with the problem. i go to the doctor tomorrow and have a better idea on some of the procedures. sorry about shouting in my first posting, but i have poor eye sight. my wife will monitor all postings. thanks-again Paul, here's a neat 'Keyboard Shortcut' for you to try.... Personally I would be lost without my scroll mouse. That little wheel in the middle of the mouse completely changes the way you use your computer. One neat trick you can do with your scroll mouse is to change the size of text in Microsoft applications, including Office and Internet Explorer. Hold down the "control" key and move the scroll wheel. Text will grow or shrink depending on which way you scroll. This won't work on every website. Some folks design their pages so text won't scale, but it will work on most of them, and can be useful if you're using a monitor on the blink or just forgot your glasses.

Thanks for the neat tip. Amazing what one can learn from this news group :) > or go to View>Text Size and pick a larger size Make sure you pick the Text Size in Internet Explorer......it governs same in Outlook Express. And on my computer (WinME), I have changed it so that the print is for the legally blind. I kid you not!! I forgot it was larger until my daughter was here at Xmas and she thought it was neat!! She wears glasses too. If I remember correctly, go to.... Start/Programs/Accessories/Accessibility/Accessibility Wizard and play with that. There is also a magnifying glass there that I have never used. I will ponder on the keyboard shortcuts I use......as my daughter uses a Mac, she uses them coz they don't have the right click function on the mouse. So she was telling me some. And on my keyboard, (damn, I can't see them at the moment.....eyes tired, grin).....but on the front side of the keys is the function that you get if you use Ctrl + that key. I see that Steve K. knows them. Cheers.....Heather Your daughter probably already knows, but if she doesn't, tell her that since Mac OS 9.something, control-click produces hierarchical menus similar to the Windows right-click, and after-market mice with multiple switches can (probably) be programmed so that right-click equals control-click.

I will forward this to her. At her new job at the college, she uses a PC (and curses a lot, grin).....but she knows how a PC works now......so will be glad to hear about that.

I never knew that!! Of course it's probably buried in the manual someplace which I never read. LOL Of course this is coming from the person who cannot read the phone book with her glasses and a magnifying glass. If this is "old" age - it sucks!

Wait till you get to my age, which is 'mumble' years old!! A magnifying glass plus bifocals are a MUST.....replaced the mascara and eye shadow in my purse.....(VBG). Best...Heather > That is great!

I think I'm headed back to the eye doc's office for a new Rx. This set of glasses aren't but 18 months old. Bev > And you haven't even 'reached' old age yet......LOL!!

Basically it is not as pleasing to the eyes as lower case. So the easiest thing is to just type in lower case - we'll mentally fill in the caps where needed. Sometimes people need to be more tolerant. There is something called netiquette. I have no idea who made up the stupid rules. But there is a whole top posting or bottom posting thing. Personally I don't like bottom posting - it slows down the time it takes to read something because I have to look for the response. Personally I don't think it really matters. So don't worry about posting and all the silly rules. It is by far better to participate and be comfortable then it is to worry about a bunch of rules.

It depends on to what I am replying, how many others have replied, whether it's a long post to which I am replying, etc. I'm all for 'nettiquette', but I make my decisions based on the efficiency of communication -- as I see it. Of course, if you Google a thread, my variation can sure muddle things a bit.
