The ATT billing support person and I have just thought of an application which we would both greet, and I wonder if this would be the right place to suggest it or ask if it existed.
The item would be a superimposed straightedge which could be moved up and down a screen with the cursor.
Reason: I am one of those people who have trouble following lines and colums so they enter the wrong data in the wrong field or box - why I was speaking to the ATT billing support person..Yellow pages got $300 intended for business phone lines. Last week I confused Costco by sending a large amount intended for City Bank. In a previous career I entered all of the English grades in the French box and was nearly fired for it.
On paper I simply use a folded sheet and follow down the page, a bit difficult with a wide screen. Something of this nature would also be useful in rough checking Paradox and other layouts.
I am thinking a solid gray bar maybe ten or so pixels wide and extendable in size.
