However, there are times when I don’t have a keyboard in front of me-like when I’m laying in bed and checking messages on the big screen tv with only my mouse.Īfter pulling my hair out for a few months, I finally figured out where Microsoft had hidden it. One of the things that would drive me crazy was that I couldn’t find any of my usual, frequently-used commands anymore, one of which was “Select All” (formerly under the Edit drop-down list).Īnd before you tell me about CTRL + A, let me just say… um, duh.

It was a pointless reinvention that didn’t improve anything.
There are a few significant irritations I have, one of which it that whole ribbon thing. I’m really not a fan of the 2010 Microsoft product “improvements.”
