Thanks Alan ,
As usual , and this is what I find most frustrating with computers , the explanation or solution is invariably very simple.
Because of my rapidly failing eyesight , I have my screen blown up to 150% which means that I often miss a lot of prompts at the top or bottom of the screen not to mention my endless spelling & grammar errors.
I should actually ask HOD or MK for an official " Please excuse note. "
Just the other day I received a very important document via email that required signing & sending back immediately....panic stations ... how in the hell am I supposed to do this
Fortunately , I was at work where I was able to ask a young co-worker , how on earth do you perform such a complicated task.
As I thanked her for her help in showing me how to scan a document to my email , I walked away feeling very embarrassed & red faced as it was so bloody simple once you knew how to do it.
A short time later we bumped into each other as we were both making coffees in the office kitchen.
Obviously picking up on my embarrassment , this sweet young girl said to me ;
" You know it's funny Les , I just had to show my mother the same thing last week but I had to go over it about six times before she understood so I think that you did pretty well to pick it up straight away & don't even get me started on my father as I am still trying to teach him how to send a simple text message."
