    Inserting an Image Into a Reply

    This is embarrassing. For the life of me I can't figure out how to insert an image into a reply in a thread. I've tried both a .jpg and a .png with no success. I click on the Insert Image icon, browse to the location of the image, click Upload File(s), and nothing happens, the Insert Image...

    Surface RT and Surface Pro sdxc slot

    I'm using a SanDisk 64GB Ultra that cost me about $60US. I haven't measured the speed but I can tell you I don't get any lags with music or videos, and documents open up promptly (although they would open faster if stored locally).

    Serious battery capacity decrease

    Still no luck, but I'll sort that out later. What's important is that I'm reading from the same place you are and, as I said, both design capacity and full charge capacity match (31. 502), 32 cycle count, and I've had the Surface since day one.

    Serious battery capacity decrease

    "Try from the Desktop browser." I've tried it from both the desktop UI on the Surface and my desktop computer with no success. I click the "Insert image" icon above the Quick Reply window, browse to the image and select it, then click Upload File(s), but nothing happens. I'm overlooking...

    Serious battery capacity decrease

    Mine showed 31, 502 for both design capacity AND full charge capacity, with a 32 cycle count, so now I'm wondering if I'm looking in the right place... I would post a screen shot but for the life of me I can't get it to upload.

    MS Surface RT Mini HDMI to VGA Adapter (Dissatisfaction)

    I just used it last week for a big training, plugged in for close to five hours, and I didn't experience the problem described by the OP. I did make sure the head was well supported on the table next to the Surface, and couldn't be accidentally snagged during the presentation. The weight of...

    Recommendations on a good Bluetooth mouse that has been proven to work on the Surface

    The wedge came in the mail yesterday and wow, talk about minimalist design, it looks great. It's surprisingly easy to use although I don't know how comfortable it will be for long sessions. I didn't have any trouble pairing it with the Surface except for one glitch: the instructions call for...

    My Surface RT review

    Hi sashlon, nice review. I look at the desktop UI this way: It's the interface I use when I'm working (usually), while the modern UI is the interface I use when I'm playing (usually). I say "usually" because I'll use the desktop UI to transfer movies from my thumb drive to the appropriate...

    best buy has pre order

    I had heard rumors that the Surface Pro was available for preview (but not purchase) so I dropped by my local Best Buy today to see if it was true. The nice salesperson in the mobile phone department where they display the tablets tactfully told me I was mistaken, but anyway the only difference...

    Touch Cover makes sound is it normal? :S

    I just disconnected the touch cover from my Surface and tested it, and it isn't making any noise when I depress any of the keys.

    Surface vs. my 2-year-old laptop - esp. for remote desktop working

    The only thing I can add to J1505P's nicely detailed post is that the Outlook Web App (OWA) works extremely well for my work email, and I can access my personal Outlook POP email via the web, so the lack of Outlook on the RT has never been an issue for me.

    Recommendations on a good Bluetooth mouse that has been proven to work on the Surface

    If I'd had another bluetooth mouse I wouldn't have been able to justify the wedge. Sure glad I didn't... :D

    Recommendations on a good Bluetooth mouse that has been proven to work on the Surface

    Amazon has the wedge mouse on sale... Amazon.com: Microsoft Wedge Touch Mouse: Computers & Accessories ...so I ordered one and should have it in my hands by Friday. I wasn't going to get a mouse because the touch cover works so well, but it's hard for me to see the right/left click buttons...

    Surface RT at Work

    What work apps have you been using? I've been working with Word and Excel (got mine in October too) but this was my first chance to really test Ppt.

    And it doesn't hurt that it comes bundled on the RT. :)

    Surface RT at Work

    Thursday I had an opportunity to really put the Surface through its paces as a work machine. I had a four-hour PowerPoint presentation with staff, with the tablet actually up and running for five hours. Have you had a chance to run PowerPoint on this thing yet? It's outstanding. First off...
