Question from Danica:  Rick, I recently purchased a 10″ Android tablet and I really like it.

It came with a keyboard cover but the keys on it are way too small for me to type without making lots of mistakes.

Is it possible to use a regular full-sized USB computer keyboard with a tablet?  [Read more…]

How to select a block of text on a Windows tablet

Posted on March 6, 2021

I’ve been answering questions on here for several years now, and as you might expect some questions tend to get asked over and over on there.

For example, I recently answered the following question (for the third time) over there:

“How can I select text to copy using a Windows tablet?”

Q&A: How can I force Facebook’s mobile site to load on my Windows tablet?

Posted on November 12, 2020

Question from Patti T.: My son bought a Surface Pro and he gave me his old Vido 10 inch Windows tablet. It works great except for one really irritating problem.

When I load Facebook in the Chrome browser everything looks so small it’s hard to read it, and it’s even harder to tap on links and stuff.

Someone told me that I can load the mobile Facebook site to make everything easier to use but I can’t figure out how to the mobile version to load. It keeps loading the full website no matter what I do.

Can you tell me what I need to do to load the mobile Facebook site?

Q&A: How can I prevent my Windows tablet’s onscreen keyboard from capitalizing the first letter when I type something?

Posted on May 29, 2020

Question from Craig L.:  I just bought a new Windows 10 tablet and there’s something that’s driving me nuts.

Every time I start typing something on the onscreen keyboard it automatically capitalizes the first letter and I have to go back and change it.

That really irritates me because most of the stuff I type doesn’t need any capitalization at all.

Is there a way to make this tablet quit capitalizing the first letter when I start typing?

Q&A: How can I stop my Windows tablet from automatically typing a period every time I double-tap the spacebar?

Posted on August 14, 2018

Question from Jason:  I recently bought a tablet with Windows 10 and I think it has a buggy onscreen keyboard.

Every time I tap the space bar twice in a row it automatically types a period after the last word I typed.

I don’t like that because I use a lot of double spaces and I have to go back and delete the period every time.

I’m thinking this has to be a bug in the software (it’s an el-cheapo tablet). Do you know if there’s a fix for it?
