Amazon Kindle 3 Help - Wikipedia Square Brackets Contents Remover for MS Word 2007

This is a simple macro I wrote to assist you in remover of the Square Brackets Contents.

Observe the "P" key on your PC QWERTY keyboard, on the right you should find this "[" Left Square Bracket key and "]" Right Square Bracket key. My program will remove the square brackets and any contents inside it.

This program are for people who reads lots of Wikipedia contents in their Amazon Kindle 3. Amazon Kindle 3 comes with Text-to-Speech feature, which reads compatible books. Wikipedia contents comes with lots of Square Brackets Contents which actually serve as references. All this will also be readout, we don't want this.

Instruction:
1) Download my MS Office Word file program.
2) Enable your MS Office Word macros setting.
3) Open the Word file and copy the Wikipedia contents to it.
4) Run the brackets filter program by using keyboard shortcut Ctrl + R. Wait for the program to complete, the program may appear not responding but it's just processing.
5) Save the document with a new name. [Tips: If you use Calibre ebook management software to transcode your document to readable Kindle 3 format, save it as web page format aka .html]
6) Use a transcoding software like Calibre to convert the document to readable Kindle 3 format like .mobi.
7) Copy the compatible file to your Kindle 3 and enjoy Kindle's Text-to-Speech.

Enable Pinch and Twist Gestures on Multi-Touch Screen in Firefox 4 & above

If you’ve downloaded Firefox 4 to your multitouch Windows tablet and wondered why pinch-to-zoom wasn’t working, it’s not just you. The update has that disabled by default, but a little configuration magic can get it up and running again, as well as a twist gesture to roll between tabs.

To re-enable the gestures, enter “about:config” in your address bar and then click the button saying you promise to be careful. Either scroll down the list or search on “gesture” to whittle it down until you find the “browser.gesture” strings. To enable pinch gestures, change the following values.

browser.gesture.pinch.in cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift cmd_fullZoomReset


To enable twist gestures, change these values

browser.gesture.twist.left Browser:PrevTab
browser.gesture.twist.right Browser:NextTab


The pinch gestures enable the standard Windows zoom functionality. Great for jumping tabs while working in fullscreen mode. For best control, I recommend holding your thumb and forefinger like a compass with thumb stationary and finger turning around it.
