If he knew how to use a computer that is. We all love Senator Ted Stevens, especially his views on net neutrality.

Just a heads up. You may see in the screencast that sometimes I would be clicking ‘invisible’ objects on the screen. This is caused by the screen recorder not picking up the drop-down menus in Office 2007. This is only an issue with XP’s rendering engine combined with Camtasia the screen recorder.

In addition: If you want a proper overview/screencast of Microsoft Office Word 2007, have a look at this video I did in June. Oldie but goodie.
