I am running Textmaker which is the free version of Microsoft Office.

It usually runs fairly well, but today I have struck a problem with the editing. If I want to insert some text in the middle of a sentence, for example, as I type it deletes the text after it, which makes editing impossible.

I am hoping that someone can tell me how to correct that.

Thanks in anticipation.

Just in case anyone is interested...

"Parisians have voted to ban rental electric scooters in their city, dealing a blow to scooter operators and a triumph for road safety campaigners.
Almost 90% of votes cast on Sunday favoured a ban the battery-powered devices, official results showed.
But under 8% of those eligible turned out to vote.

The referendum was called in response to a rising number of people being injured and killed on e-scooters in the French capital.
Of the 1.38 million people on the city's electoral register, just over 103,000 took part, according to offical figures. Of these, over 91,300 voted against the scooters.
Paris was one of the first cities to adopt the electric vehicles - but critics argue they were causing more harm than good.


There was growing concern with the way some people were driving the scooters - weaving through traffic, dodging pedestrians on pavements, and getting up to speeds of 17mph (27km/h).
Riders often did not wear helmets and children as young as 12 could legally hire the e-scooters.

There was also criticism that groups of parked e-scooters were cluttering pavements.
In 2021, a 31-year-old Italian woman was killed after being hit by an e-scooter carrying two people. She fell and hit her head on the pavement, suffering a cardiac arrest.
But operators of the e-scooters argued the vehicles made up a small proportion of overall traffic accidents in the city."
Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo called the referendum, where voters could say if they were for or against free-floating e-scooters. Privately-owned vehicles were not part of the vote."

Read some articles that phone batteries should not charge the phone battery to 100% every time.

Doing so will shorten the battery life. Is it true?

He & his party are very, very hard right & while Israel has a big population of very orthodox & right wing Jews, there's also a large number of more moderate Jews many of whom are keen to see peace there.
It seems he didn't expect these widespread protests

"Israelis have been protesting for months against PM Netanyahu’s proposed judicial changes, which critics say will undermine the justice system.
Israeli President Isaac Herzog has called for an immediate halt to the government’s controversial judicial reform plans which have sparked months of street protests in the country.
Netanyahu is charged with fraud, breach of trust and accepting bribes after three years of investigation.


Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit has charged Netanyahu after investigating reports of him accepting gifts from millionaire friends and allegedly seeking regulatory favours for media tycoons in return for favourable coverage.

Might be the beginning of the end for him...

Quote:The indictment has been filed under seal and will be announced in the coming days. The charges are not publicly known at this time, one source told CNN. Trump will likely be arraigned in court early next week, according to his defense attorney, Joe Tacopina.

The DA's office has been investigating the former president in connection with his alleged role in a hush money payment scheme and cover-up involving adult film star Stormy Daniels that dates to the 2016 presidential election. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's office will reach out to Trump's attorneys to discuss his surrender to face an arraignment.

...

Trump's lawyer Alina Habba said in a statement that Trump "is a victim of a corrupt and distorted version of the American justice system and history. He will be vindicated."

Trump was caught off guard by the grand jury's decision to indict him, according to a person who spoke directly with him While the former president was bracing for an indictment last week, he began to believe news reports that a potential indictment was weeks -- or more -- away.

I am moving to an address in Herd Rd, Hillsborough, Auckland, and they do not have fibre. When I go looking for a copper connection all the plans are for fibre. I have tried Google but it seems that I may not be asking the right question as all I obtain is fibre connections.

I was hoping that someone knows what firm to go to for copper and hopefully they will be able to give me a price as well.

Thank you for your help.

I call it greenwashing.

Any one suffer with cramp, I've had cramp for years and the worst time is waking up with it and struggle to walk to the toilet!
Was on quinine tablets for years which worked really well and kept it under control, a couple of years ago they stopped supplying it here in NZ.  And have tried a few prescribed methods from my doctor which never worked.
I have been using crampezy tablets which I don't really know whether they work or not as if I leave them off its the same outcome!
Has anyone found a way to combat the pain or do I have to live with it?

While looking for a ray of sunshine on my phone's weather app last night I was a bit amazed to find that not content with messing up the clock with daylight savings, "THEY" are now fiddling with the calendar! Is nothing to be spared?
