I am very clumsy with left,


I once broke my right hand and I was wearing a cast for several weeks. Being clumsy with my left hand and just to top it, I successfully managed to burn my left hand during some cooking-attempt and ended up with a dressing on the other one, too. My husband turned into a full-time nurse (and make-up artist!) and my employer hired an assistant who sat next to me at the office all day long, don't ask...

Thanks a million for your advice.
Unfortunately, the speech recognition programme with Windows 7 is not supported in Dutch Hope DNS will do the job

One hand typing Apr 18

Typing with only one hand is actually an established method. Perhaps translators and other "wordsmiths" would do well to at least be familiar with it as a backup plan.
