Adding keyboard shortcuts to MS Word 2010: Accept Change and Advance

I have had to work with the tracking function of Word 2010 since I started to work with editors proofreading my bad English. oops.

Since it was too much of a hassle (2 mouse clicks) to get to the icon called "Accept Change and Advance," I decided to create a keyboard shortcut instead.

Following is the process it took for me to get the shortcut created:

Step 1. Click on the "File" tab and "Option." The "Word Options" window will pop up.

Step 2. Inside of the "Word Options" window, click on "Customize Ribbon" selection.

Step 3. When the functions for "Customize Ribbon" load on the screen, click on the button of "Customize" next to Keyboard shortcuts and the "Customize Keyboard" window will open.

Step 4. Inside of the "Customize Keyboard" window, once you select the category of "All Commands" (or "Review Tab" on the left, commands will be shown on the right side.  Look for the "AcceptChangeAndAdvance" as one of the command selections.  Then, place the cursor inside of the box under "Press new shortcut key:", press the shortcut key you want to use and click on the "Assign" button.  In my scenario, I selected "Alt+Q" since it is a combination not affiliated with any command.

Step 5. Once you click the "Assign" button, it will be reflected under the textbox under the title of "Current Keys."  Click the "Close" button and that's it!

Another keyboard shortcut I created and used frequently was "Reject Change and Advance."  I assigned the combination of "Alt+P" for this command.  Essentially, under Step 4, scroll through the list and search for "Reject Change and Advance" command and assigned the shortcut key "Alt+P" instead.

C'est ca!  Bon Chance and have fun!

Canon SX280 HS video files not downloaded! 8-O

After the Turkey Day, I finally got my grandpa canon its replacement... the Canon SX280 HS with 20x optical zooming capacity!

Though I have been roaming around like a road runner, who can run not, taking pictures and video clips using the new kid in town, Canon SX280 HS, my work got my too tight up to even check the pictures that I have taken.

After making the section section of my book public yesterday afternoon, I looked outside of the window and realized that it snowed.  Finding it quite synchronous an event, I decided to take a video clip of the snow... that's how I identified an issue I otherwise would not have been able to find out for God knows how much longer a time... none of the video files were downloaded.

Ended up, what happened was that instead of upgrading to ImageBrowser EX, which didn't work too well on this machine in the sense that it took forever to launch the program, I continued to use ZoomBrowser EX program (and the affiliated media downloading components).

Unfortunately, ZoomBrowser EX seemed to have problem seeing the video files recorded using Canon SX280 HS. It might have something to do with the fact that Canon SX280 HS, by default, saves the video clips as mp4 file instead of avi files, like what Grandpa Canon did.  Not quite sure but don't really have to time to figure out what the exact reason might be for you.

One thing I know is that after I got the ImageBrowser EX installed, the video files were also downloaded successfully!

Granted, there might be different ways to get the issue resolved such as using different means to get the digital files downloaded.  It's just one way I use to get the issue of incomplete file download addressed.

Regardless, I just want you to make sure all files are downloaded if you have a newer generation camera and decide to continue using ZoomBrowser EX.

Presented to you... nothing fancy... the first video clip I downloaded successfully!

Something more about my Canon PowerShot A570 IS camera

My grandpa Canon surprised me again with its sense of autonomy... post hoc... and as we were crossing the Tsim Ma Bridge of Hong Kong.

Almost like... you speak ill of me... me ain't gonna pay you no mind.  You don't speak ill of me... let me go along with your wish... especially when I am already so beaten down... lol



(OK... I might simply read to much into my grandpa Canon's mind. Just find it to be mighty interesting! lol)
