[access-uk] Re: using skype

Hi Terry,

Go to Tools, Options, and arrow down to Advanced.  Right arrow to expand it,
and down to Enable Global Hotkeys.  Check this box, and hit Save to save the
settings.  Now when someone rings, you can press Alt-page up to answer a
call, or Alt-page down to reject this.  And global hotkeys is literal.  So
you can do this even if you are in word editing a document.

All the best

Steve

Hi

Could I just ask, how do you answer a call that someone is making to you?

I've installed the skype scripts, but still can't see how to answer the call
when its bleeping at me.

thanks.

terry

>> Hi Jackie
