I currently have the starter version of student home office 2010. Previously I had the 2007 version which had the Bradley Hand ITC Font (and some others) that are not included on the 2010 version. I wrote a really large document using that font and need to get it back. There are different sites that offer free downloads but I am trying to avoid spamware and spyware etc. If possible, please let me know where to download a reliable trouble free Bradley Hand ITC font for Microsoft Home Student Office 2010. Thank you. JBW

    I haven't tried that tool myself, I happened to see a notice about it so I passed it on.

    I googled it. It appears to be a new release. It appears in only a few downloads sides.  It also appeared on a virus scan site. It was checked against many online malware scanners and came up clean. Another plus is that it is on an open source site, so the code is available for anyone to review.

    For myself, I might download it now, but I would wait a month or two (or three if I'm feeling particularly paranoid) for anti malware scanners to "catch up" and then submit it to a few online scanning sites before using it.

    I think I'll heed that advice. What got me suspicious was thelabel such and such .com that appears in big letters in the lower left hand corner of the screen shot. As much as the inability to manually move files bugs me, I think seeing such and such .com in the lower left of my screen for the next five years would bug me more. Maybe its only in the screen shot and doesn't actually turn up on your computer after you load it, but I want to be sure.

    AHA, now the penny drops

    No, you don't have to worry about that address "ASK*** dot COM" being branded onto your computer. That is just a 'watermark' the site has added to it's screen captures of the application. They put them there to make it harder for other sites to "steal" the images.

    Thats a relief, but still,  I think it might be prudent to wait until a few people less spleeny than I download it and give it the stamp of approval. Better if Microsoft gives it the green light, or better still, they take the high road and come up with a bonified Microsoft fix it to show everyone how much they really care about their customers. I suspect they'll do it eventually.

     I have another question if you have the time. I also picked up a new Toshiba 24" LED TV, and it has a USB port embedded in its side. The TV is on the other side of the room from my new computer. I do not have cable or sat TV. I was thinking about getting Netflix online. Is there wireless device or another way to connect the computer to the TV? What would that entail?

    Sure, waiting is good.

    I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for MS to do it, ever. There may be a tiny chance it will be included in Win8 but other than that I strongly doubt it.  Basically, it is not a problem that can cause data loss, so MS is going to put it at the bottom of the TODO list unless a WHOLE LOT LOT LOT of people complain about it.

    I just read this article a couple of hours ago. It explains why the chances of the feature returning are close to zero: http://ask-leo.com/why\_didnt\_microsoft\_fix\_this\_horrible\_bug.html

    That is way off topic, but it happens to be an area of interest to me. A few months back with a friend I setup a computer to HD projector "over-the-air" connection using a tool that costs around USD500. It consisted of 2 boxes about the size of cable modems.

    (google is your friend, there are more and more products that will do it for you. Talk to your local TV store or computer shop. Here are a few links with various solutions I've collected:

    PS: If you want to get the maximum benefit from that HD screen, you will have to sit surprisingly close to it.  Here is an extract from an article that says your best viewing distance is only 28" (ie desktop!), max 60".

    <snip http://www.pcworld.com/article/139156/how_to_get_the_most_out_of_your_hdtv.html >

    To calculate the optimal viewing distance for a 1080p screen, THX (the video and audio company founded by director George Lucas) recommends multiplying your diagonal screen size by 1.2. For a 50-inch HDTV, that works out to 5 feet; and for a 70-inch screen, 7 feet. These distances may seem short for viewing such large screens, but the added picture detail in HD video allows you to get closer than would be recommended for standard-definition screens, so you can immerse yourself in the action. Of course, if you prefer, you can sit further back--up to about 2.5 times your screen size--and still get an outstanding viewing experience, but the immersive feel will be less.
