so you use snurl too, huh?
It's my prefered snipper.
Yeah, I know about the spellchecker stuff, but I was just trying to figure
out how I could apply a sound to the visual effects, kind of like a word
processing program on a typewriter, as soon as a letter was typed that
wasn't recognized in the string as being a properly spelled word, a beep
would happen or some other sound.
I really didn't think there would be a way, but I thought I would ask.
I want to learn about Power Point, can anyone suggest a good starting place?
