Computers are not my thing. I enjoy doing things on my PC but every day seems to be my first day on the computer, if you know what I mean. There are a few items that I just don't understand. One is how to hide the bars at the top of the screen temporarily. Is there a quick and easy way to hide the bars at the top of the screen? I would like to have more of the screen showing the text I am working with. I don't know if I have explained my problem, time will tell or at least someone will get me on track. Also...... My printer. I know one should not panic when you start to print something and when page three comes up and there should not have been even a page two. The printer just seems to go on its marry-way with no one at the helm. I am sure I did or did not do something right. The thing is how do you stop the printer? I have tried just turning it off only to find when I turn it back on it continues printing or does nothing, yet I can not restart a printing process. Is there a key or something I can click, punch, or tickle that will stop the printer in its tract without doing something wrong. Several times when I have stopped the printer I have had to dismantle parts of the printer to get the paper that was still trying to print. As a stop gap I have been setting the printer to only print the number of pages I think I need. John
