If you do this in a temporary mode by utilizing the slide bar in the bottom right hand corner rather than as the actual property you are composing in, you won't have to go back to make adjustments. It will only be in effect while you're typing and you can switch it back to your normal setting by simply sliding it back into place. I'm going to test this theory RIGHT NOW by the pool!

Nothing that is commercially available really seems to work reliably. Thx for the article...will try it the Red Green way!!!

I became frustrated and have avoided using it outside since, unless I am in a covered area of course. .-= mate´s last blog ..Want to guest blog about PlayStation 4, Sony Move, etc? =-.
