Remote Control Color Button Menu Shortcut List

I think #3 presents the info better. But I recognize that others may view it the other way around.

I also note that the yellow on #1 seems brighter on screen than in #3, but they seem to print about the same. I wonder if the perceived difference is due to differing row height?

I like using the Header feature for the title and date. I was going to suggest you add the date, then saw what you did in Print Preview. Nice, simple but I think rarely used feature. Certainly more often than Pivot Tables/Charts, which I note so many potential employers are concerned about. So simple to do, perhaps I'm missing something, or perhaps they're getting people unwilling to learn more Excel features. Lord knows, somebody at MicroSoft stays up nights trying to come up with new Office features to pack in.

OK, thanks for the feedback. The yellow brightness seems about the same to me on my screen for #1 and 3. I self taught my damn self how to use Excel and PowerPoint by just playing around with them. My PowerPoint Dish wiring diagrams took me forever to make. I have an old MicroSoft Office 2003. My wife sure likes her Office 2010.

So she's the guilty party!

I prefer 2003 but normally use 2007. MS has gone to change for the sake of change.

Yep, for sure. I wish they wouldn't do change for the sake of change. To me they go backwards sometimes. Everyone I have talked to do not like Windows 8.

Ah. Big NO to 8. At least for me at home.

Might go back to Linux one day. Unfortunately, the version I used a few years ago was Xandros. Sigh. They sorta "went away" from the home market in favor of a more restricted business orientation. I understand they opened up again, but have since disappeared. At any rate, http://www.xandros.com/ does not work, at least not for me right now.

So if I rigged a Linux machine, just for messing with, go with Ubuntu? Debian? KDE vs Gnome? I read the most popular now is Mint. Never heard of them. I'll probably do nothing, at least in the near term. Then it'll be for another thread. I did like Star Office/Open Office. And if I could get it to work wirelessly on an old laptop, that could be quite useful. And I could back up EHDs if I really wanted to. Hmmm. Maybe I'll look into this.

I just know W7 won't last forever, and that unopened XP probably won't play nice with newer device drivers. We'll see what options open up. It might just make more sense to plug a keyboard and monitor into a tablet. Gee, MicroSoft, what are you worried about? Oh right- your tablets/slates run W8. :dev

LOL, you are talking way about my level. I am not too computer savy and still on Windows XP.

 

[navychop]

Grasp it tightly, even with EOL on support.

Yep. Everything has gone downhill since WinXP.

When I bought my last desktop, I went thru hell replacing Win7 with XP, but it was well worth it.

Attached are the latest remote control color button menu shortcut lists dated 13 July 2013. The lists are in MS Office Excel and PDF. With help from rsmith7, the lists are now in three different formats within each program. Should be easier to view and print for those who do not have MS Office Excel. I went thru the previous lists and found only one change due to the recent Hopper with Sling software version S315 update. The red button TV Viewing Status screen name has been changed to TV Activity.

If anyone discovers a mistake or find any more changes please post them here or send me a PM and I will update the list and post again.

Not yet, it is still current as far as I know till the next software version comes out. Some folks that may be testing a beta for the next software version might be seeing some changes. When I get the newest software update I will go thru all the color buttons and update the list for any changes, additions, etc.

Stargazer, I just noticed you posted on an old thread. The current up to date color button short cut list for HWS is in the The Hopper Zone Sticky Threads. The current updated list for HWS software version S506 is dated 8 July 14 in pdf.

Thanks, I totally overlooked that thread.
