Close Word Comments Easily

If you don't like how precisely you must mouse in Microsoft Word 2008 to delete comment balloons, note that you can Control-click (right-click) a balloon to pop up a contextual menu. From the menu choose Delete Comment, and you're done.

Also, to get rid of all comments at once, choose Tools > Customize Keyboard and set up a keyboard shortcut to go with the DeleteAllComments command, available in the Tools category. Oddly, there's no Delete Comment keyboard customization option that I can find.

Interarchy 5.0.1 Fixes Bugs

Interarchy 5.0.1 Fixes Bugs -- Stairways Software has released Interarchy 5.0.1, fixing a number of bugs in the popular Internet file transfer and utility application but adding no new features (see "FTP Disk Feature Highlights Interarchy 5.0" in TidBITS-593). The upgrade is free and recommended for all Interarchy 5.0 users. There's no updater available; if you already use Interarchy 5.0, you'll have to download the full 3 MB package and overwrite the 5.0 application folder with the new version. [ACE]
