Microsoft Word Tip Continue Editing A Document From Last Cursor Save Position

To activate the hotkey, press Shift + F5 simultaneously. If the combination is pressed once it will bring your cursor back to the last position.

Every owner of the HTC Desire HD was eagerly waiting for the update. Then, a little more than a week ago, Canadian operator Telus issued a device upgrade schedule, which said, among other things, that the HTC Desire HD’s update was cancelled by HTC “due to poor performance during testing”. Users started wandering around forums to comment on the statement, but HTC gave a pretty confusing statement to Android Central, saying that it was “currently determining the ability to support Ice Cream Sandwich on the HTC Desire HD....

The program can be set to control individual channels on a multi-channel speaker set up, and it can also be set to automatically run and enable itself whenever Windows restarts. Overall Sound Lock is a simple app and it works as advertised....

If you end up streaming a favorite network, and it isn’t working correctly at first, make sure to check for updates of a device’s firmware....
