I have just been out with Neela my guide dog and we've had a very long walk in very thick snow!!! I have not looked at Bert's way yet but I was mystafied about the clock being in Office but not to worry. iIf there is lots of snow tomorrow and I am forced to stay in then I will have plenty of time on my hands to look at that. Now for assigning a short-cut key The first thing that I would do is to turn active standby off. 1. go into the menu. 2. down arrow to tools and press select. 3. down arrow to settings and press enter. 4. down arrow to general and press select. 5. down arrow to personalisation and hit select. 6. down arrow to standby mode and hit select. 7. down arrow to active standby. this will say on or off. pressing the select key will toggle this option on or off. Note, active standby is a visual display on your screen of all your shortcut keys that have been assigned. I never use it. To assign a shortcut key. repeat the first six steps above. 1. instead of going into active standby mode, arrow down to shortcuts and press select. 2. as you up/down arrow, it will tell you the various functions that each shortcut key has been assigned too. 3. to change the left selection key, (key one) press key one and hit select on change. 4. up/down arrow through the various functions and choose the one you want assigned to left selection key or key 1, by hitting select. 5. repeat this for all seven shortcut options. Note: The above information was very kindly given to me by Bert Brown some months ago in 2008.

The question was asked re the clock so listwise and to be computer literally correct (God help us) The answer was of course in menu office!! 'The clock in Bert's case will givve an alarm function. Anyway Paddy now knows both ways of accessing the clock. Hope all that helps my good friend, paddy.
