  Don't you want to kick yourself when a solution has been right under your nose? Like, "...Read the directions, dummy (to yourself).

Recently a Fellow Rainer posted a blog and commented to me that he was trying to stay away from "subscriptions". I lost track, sorry to say and could not find his blog so I will not cite him. However, I thought of him when I realized today I had a solution within my software that I paid over $200 set up and $25.00 a month in subscription for.

I had been focusing on using One Note 2007, which I love, but could not get it to work with my MLS or Zip Forms to my satisfaction, which is why I had an outside subscription. In January when I bought my Gateway Convertible, I continued the subscription without testing the software against the software I use.

What I found is that with Vista for Business and Office 2007, Windows Journal takes care of forms easier than anything I could have imagined being created. Send any form to Windows Journal Printer. Open it up. Then you can type by inserting a text bar, sign and/or write , then email, fax or print copies. You can also change to a "Non changeable" copy before you send it.

If I wanted to really save money here and there I could download all forms from our state association and type them in Journal. (Not renew Zip Forms or RED).

I am slightly chagrined to report my discovery because I think that was the point of creating the portable tablet other than making notes on the fly.

Suzi - Dropped in to visit to see how you are doing. You know, we all have so much technical stuff, we forget what we have sometimes. It's a toss up from being in the zone to being overwhelmed with it all.

Hope you have been ok.

cheers

You guys are tops! (Eric, the photo regressed. Its about 1 and 1/2 years old. My daughter took it, it seems to be the most favored--I'm a little moody, so I change photos) Back to the tablet...I'm still banging my head on the wall--why have I been doing it the hard way??

Do you guys still use Winforms/ZipForms or do you download from your association? Do any of you still use VREO/RED?

Gary, nice to hear from you. I'll drop by your blog to see how your friend is.

Joeann, affirmative. Tablets are the best. Imagine using one to its full capability!
