But the problem is in Preview - I went File/Print/Preview, which opened Preview in "print preview" pseudo-dialogue box mode.Bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540002478471101536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239047.post-1152376585985355722006-07-08T16:36:00.000+00:002006-07-08T16:36:00.000+00:00What application is this from?What application is this from?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239047.post-1152259715234554692006-07-07T08:08:00.000+00:002006-07-07T08:08:00.000+00:00Hi Tim, From day one the Mac UI has been "left-to-...Hi Tim, <BR/><BR/>From day one the Mac UI has been "left-to-right, top-to-bottom". The reason being that when reading, that is the movement your eye makes (I remember that one from first year psychology!). I don't know how it is for Hebrew readers, but for us English speakers, the eye pauses at the top left, scans left to right, a line at a time till it reaches bottom right. It pauses again, then returns to top-left to actually <I>read</I> what is shown. <BR/><BR/>This results in a few things. Firstly, the Apple menu is top left. The close box is top left. The <B>default</B> button is bottom right. Not the Cancel button - why would you want the button that states "I made a mistake" at the most important part of the newly created window? <BR/><BR/>Since Jobs' return the Next team have been slowly eroding this cardinal rule (the Dock being a prime example - totally violating the "flow" of the Mac). But one of Jobs' first actions was to disband the Human-Interface team - so far they are getting away with it, but the inconsistencies are growing and the reason the Mac "feels" better than Windows are slowly going as well.Bazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08540002478471101536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19239047.post-1152210139148738742006-07-06T18:22:00.000+00:002006-07-06T18:22:00.000+00:00I don't understand.
