Asked By m.s.kell

I love having Paws on my desktop.  How can I keep Paws alive after our
university upgrades to Windows Vista or 7, 8 9...?

Cat paws or dog paws?

Cat paws or dog paws?  Seriously though, this has nothing to do with
document management in Word, or did you means PASW
(http://www.statisticssolutions.com/statistics-software/spss-statistics-help/spss-software/)?

It may refer to that wonderful old screensaver (with time-wasting
games) that had dogs or cats chewing up the desktop? I had a Mac
version but I think it came in PC, too.

I no longer see commercial screensavers in the discount software
racks, so I imagine the genre has gone away. They were mostly just
sets of photos that would rotate (I had Hubble Telescope photos, and
Ansel Adams photos), and that is built in, with your own selections, to
Windows now. But I kinda miss the novelty ones.

The whole idea of screensavers is pretty pass?, but I did have a copy of
After Dark on my first system (the one that had an aquarium with swimming
fish, for example). It, however, was responsible for some idiosyncrasies in
my use of Word, one of which persists to this day. Because AD had
appropriated the Ctrl+Shift+M keyboard shortcut to mute the display, I was
unable to assign it to an em dash (I do have Ctrl+Shift+N for an en dash),
so my em dash is Ctrl+M, with the result that I cannot use that combination
to indent (not that I would want to, but sometimes I want to test things for
users). And it must have used Ctrl+Shift+C or Ctrl+Shift+V for something,
too, because it was years before I could get those to work as advertised to
copy and paste formatting because they were assigned to something else.

Don't you miss the flying toasters?

The built-ins for en- and em-dash are Ctrl(-Alt)-minus [on the
keypad], so you do not need a custom one. (Lifting from the keyboard at
that point is not onerous because they represent a break in thought
anyway.)

For many years I did not have access to the numeric keypad (had a mouse
platform covering it), and I would still find it very much more trouble to
use than my custom shortcuts, which are now so ingrained as to be as easy as
typing, say Shift+- to get an underline (actually easier since I always have
to look at the keyboard to be sure of accurately hitting anything on the top
row of keys).
