041019 -
041020 -
041021 - Function key with left hand
041022 -
041023 - Using both hand for Ctrl and Shift F10, left hand for everything

041034 - Deleting tasks - Alt F8
041035 -
041036 - I explained the distinctions between using these functions in
041037 - the Schedule, v. an SDS record.
041038 -
041039 - He did some of these editing functions today. There is still
041040 - some confusion about which functions to use. He is a little
041041 - concerned about his progress. If he will continue to struggle
041042 - with it for awhile, it will be okay. He is so used to using
041043 - Wordperfect functions, that having to learn something new is
041044 - burdensome.
041045 -
041046 - Diary Prior Date
041047 -
041048 - I went through this today, just to let him know it is

041052 -
041053 - Documentation
041054 -

041067 - fl flist
041068 -
041069 - After Jerry DeWalt got the printer connected with the
041070 - software, we were able to run this. It took almost 20
041071 - minutes to load throught the special LAN software program
041072 - Jerry has installed.
041073 -
041074 - I recommended leaving the printe turned on.
041075 -
041076 - We can experiment to see what fonts are available in the

041080 - SDS Memos - F1 Ctrl F5
041081 -
041082 - I printed a memo. It comes out okay, except it seems not to be
041083 - centered quite the same as on the Panasonic. I expect the HP
041084 - printer may have a slightly different minimum border margin for
041085 - the origin.
041086 -
041087 - I may have to adjust the left margin value.
041088 -
041089 - Alternate letterheads - Alt F4
