New emails are now composed in Arial 10 but is there also a way to increase the size to 11?

Thanks for sharing the above information. We tried using the link for Quickr 8.2, but it seems to be broken. Have you got the latest link for it??? Appreciate if you could get back to us on this ASAP.

Thanks again.

Yes I was suggesting that it would give Symphony a more integrated look and feel with Lotus Notes if the dialogue look and behaved like the Notes text dialogue box does.

In my the problem with Symphony other that the tabs along the top it really does not look like a Lotus Notes companion product.

Obviously you can only go so far in this, but look what the other people have done with the latest mail client and there office offering, they really look similar. IBM really needs to do this.

I love Notes and have used it for 20 years, and wish to go one for another 20 years, just want IBM to create it as part of an integrated suite.

Now I know IBM will say well the cloud is making that redundant. Well may be in the USA and N. Europe. But I can assure you it will be at least 10 years before the Cloud happens in most of Asia (Korea and Japan apart) The internet is just not stable or fast enough in even the biggest cities here. I have a good connection that I pay a premium price for and often it goes down, or I cannot access site in Europe.

Or the Electricity goes off. You cannot run a business like that you must have local data.]]>

You said "it would be nice to have the dialogue box open all the time, Ala Notes and Smartsuite".

That's exactly what I do.

With my widescreen I just leave the Text properties always sitting open on the right hand side while I edit (see my top image).

But if you prefer you can grab (left click) the top line of the properties box and drag it away from the sidebar.

It becomes a non-modal floating dialog. What's really nice is that its position is sticky: If I close and re-open Symphony, it places the floating text window exactly where I left it. I could imagine that many people would like this when using dual monitors: you could have the Text properties (and the other ones) sitting permanently open on one screen (peripheral vision) while your document fills your main screen.

Or was your point that you wanted the Symphony text dialogue to look (cosmetically) like the Notes one?]]>

However I would have liked to see the text box's appear so that it was the same (or similar) as the one we get in Notes.

Lets face it a lot of the early adopters of Symphony will be Notes users, so having things that are familiar for Notes users in Symphony would be great and make for quicker and easier adoption.

The sidebar formatting is fine, but it would be nice to have the dialogue box open all the time, Ala Notes and Smartsuite.]]>

BTW: The infobox which allows you to manipulate text properties and other settings in a non-modal way was first introduced in Lotus Improv (a revolutionary spreadsheet product long forgotten by most of the people) back in the early nineties. Lotus Notes later implemented an enhanced version of the infobox (i believe it was in Notes version 3).]]>

I'll spend the next week adding a few more statistics/graphs so that I consider it truly "ready". Then I'll post it on my web site with a few instructions/the ability to keep track of versions/somewhere for feedback. I'll probably use a wiki template to host it. I'll probably host it on my personal domain http://www.anthonyholmes.com but I'll definitely link to it from this blog.

(I also need to think about whether I need to have a second version for US users. Alone in the world, the US uses a different measure for blood glucose. Weirdly it's not a "Metric vs Imperial" distinction: the US unit is also a metric unit. Just not the one the rest of the world uses. Don't get me started on how/why things like that happen.)

By the way: I should be clear. The original spreadsheet is also free spreadsheet, put together by a thoughtful person with diabetes. Apart from the fact that it ties you down to purchasing Excel before you can use it, I highly recommend it. Parenthetic (diabetic) http://parenthetic-diabetic.blogspot.com/2007/09/version-314.html]]>
