OneNote Suggestion on Immersive Reader
My son recently attended a Microsoft virtual camp, and he said, "Why can't Immersive Reader read a sentence with expression?" He asked me. Can Trini or other people who work @Microsoft please share this feedback to the OneNote dev team?

Right-click context menu personalization
Hello, Can you share with me how to edit the right-click context menu? There are several features that are presented that I never use and others I would like to add. I have checked other sources on-line and they recommend working with the registry, which I do not want to do. I am smart enough to know the damage that can be done by a non computer-literate user like myself. Please advise alternate strategy. Thank you, Greg

Microsoft Edge Update
Since upgrading Microsoft Edge to the latest version, I have noticed that the screen will go black sometimes and then reappear with the same content as before it went black. It's more like a short blip of the screen. I am on a laptop and had not this happen before and it does not occur with the Google browser.

Pinning Websites
I'm sure some of you may have noticed, while others may have not, but you can no longer pin websites to the start screen, even by pinning it to your taskbar and dragging to your start screen, it can no longer be done. I've been aware of this, and have working around it, but after this last update....... ok, well we'll leave it at that... I was chatting with Microsoft Tech support this afternoon, and after I finally got them to try and pin a web site to their start screen, they admitted they couldn't do it either. Funny though they had a work around? So here's the work around, and it involve Google Chrome! Open the website you want to pin to your Windows 10 Start Screen in Google Chrome. Yea, you read that right! Once your website is open, click on the three dots located in the upper right hand corner. Scroll down until you sees More Tools. Hover over that and choose Create Shortcut... a pop up will appear where you name your shortcut, and here is where it gets important! You need to check the box that says Open as Window, then click create. Now go back to your start screen and under recently added apps you will see your recently added website. There is one last step. With it there you will not be able to move it around. So while it is in the Recently Added Apps right click and choose Pin to Start Menu. Voila! You're done, and your websites are now back on your start screen. Let's do hope that the boys and girls in Redmond fix this!

Outlook mobile should sync 13 future months of appointments
Some medical appointments occur once/year and the medical office may schedule the next appointment somewhere around, but not exactly on the same month and day the following year. For this reason, it would be nice if Outlook Mobile on Android cell phones used by the patient would have appointments 13 months into the future available for offline viewing so that the patient could check for conflicts with the appointment date and time the appointment desk is suggesting even if the patients phone is out of cell phone range or the patient doesn't have a cell phone contract and uses their phone only with WiFi. If this would cause problems for people with large numbers of future appointments in relation to their cell phone storage capacity, then there should be a setting that the user could use to specify the number of future months they wanted available.

What is Productivity?
I'm often baffled by the way people use the word "productivity". It would seem I may have the wrong idea of the definition of productivity. In my view, productivity describes the most direct way to achieve a desired result. It means, responding to a request with a direct action towards producing the desired result : eg: "open the window", should cause someone to open the window. Conversely, when I ask Microsoft to do something , I usually get a response in the form of a question. " Are you sure that's what you want me to do?" or perhaps, " Do you have the authority to request that ?" Very often, on the internet, I get an even more non-productive response. " Sorry, we cannot find that site" or another inane response is , " We notice you are using an ad blocker. We'd like to give you the opportunity to remove it or disable it so we can feed you the kind of crap you put the ad blocker in place to prevent ." Am I wrong in assuming that Microsoft is asking me to remove my,"productivity" measures so they can waste more of my time with unsolicited sales pitches instead of doing what I asked them to do?
