Office 2003 , Word, Excel --
I am a Disabled War Vet and use the computer and the Internet every
day for various research. I use a “Wireless Mouse” and an “On Screen
Keyboard” in place of the normal Keyboard most of the time. I often
make notes and copy text and images from Wikipedia encyclopedia, etc;
I then paste various (Legal Free Use) text and images into MS Notepad
and Paint.
If I decide to keep a copy of certain information; I save a MS
Notepad and/or Paint document by: selecting desirable “Key Word(s)”
with the mouse > then “Right-Click” to copy my selection > then “Left-
Click” File > Save As > and then in the ensuing > Blank “File Name:
Dialog Box” > [ I “Right-Click”, and paste the previously copied
selection ] -- thereby saving the file with a meaningful label. This
is very easy and I do it all the time, using many programs off and on
the Internet.
My VERITABLE QUANDARY.
My terrible aggravating longstanding problem is that I cannot do this
natural procedure in Microsoft Office 2003, Word, Excel, etc. When I
go to “Right-click” the Blank “File Name: Dialog Box” – the “Right-
Click” does nothing! It is disabled, and I need to overcome this one
too.
As it is -- I have to set everything down, and reach for the Physical
Keyboard – and then make an awkward for me, "CTRL-V" -- to paste the
text that I want for a File name. If I can do this using MS Notepad,
or Paint and countless other programs – I sure should be able to do it
in the M$ Office Programs.
I’ll guess that fixing this will be embarrassingly very easy – but it
escapes me how – please, will some kind and knowledgeable person help
me out as very soon as possible?
If you know of a better place to ask about this, please post that too.
Thanks & Peace
