DietPower Help
On some computers, because of memory or hard-drive limitations, Diet Power may be unable to display three of its special-purpose cursors. Even though they are invisible, the cursors work. But in most cases you don't really need to use them, because Diet Power provides an alternative. Here are the cursors and alternatives.
The Date Picker, used
for switching your session to a different working date
by pointing to the date on your Body History
graph and clicking. Even if you can't see this pointer, you can watch
the dates reeling in the status bar
as you move your mouse across the graph, and click when you see the date
you want. If this proves difficult, however, you can use the Calendar
function instead. Or (easier yet) use the date selector at the bottom
of your Food Log
or your Exercise Log.
The COPY cursor, used
for dragging items from window to window in the Food Dictionary,
the Exercise Dictionary,
and the Recipe Box.
Here, Diet Power provides an alternative only for dragging items from
the top (Dictionary) window into your Favorites list in the Food Log or
the Exercise Log or the Ingredients window in the Recipe Box: instead
of holding down the left or right mouse button and dragging the item,
left-click the item once, to
highlight it; then press Shift+Enter on your keyboard. (Note: This method
won't work when "Esc clears this field" appears in the New Search
box. In that case, press your Escape key first. In addition, it won't
work when the Recent list is displayed in the top window of the Food Log.)
The Color Bar cursor,
used for setting your Key Ratio
in the Personal Daily Allowance Editor.
Here, the alternative is to set your nutrient levels by typing them into
the text fields above the color bars.
