Q: When I pressed "Alt+Tab" in full screen mode to switch to some other program, and then, later, again pressed
"Alt+Tab" to return to SOSS then the SOSS-screen is not updated (shows black or garbage or shows whatever was
on the screen recently).
A: Press F5 for update. (this problem is depending on the type of window that is used by SOSS, it seems
to be hard to find a solution to this, however it's quite simple to work around it, isn't it..)

Q: I am managing a big event with lots of player distributed over a number of groups. How do I find a player
in quick and convenient way? (When the tournament is about to start and everyone is in a hurry there are always
a number of changes requested, things like wrong rating, miss spelled name, wring club, wrong group etc. It is
not very easy to find people by scanning the "pair lists" (the list viwed in the "Result" tab)).
A:
-If you know the group: Chose the tab "Standings" or "Entering, group", chose the right group and sort by name (click
above the name column) and you will find the person immediately.
- If you know the club: As above, but start from the tab "Entering, club".
- If you only know the name: Chose "All players" under the menu "Tools", sort by name and enter the initial letter of
the name, and the list will scroll to the names starting with that letter.
Note: You can modify data about a player by right click on the player in any list where it is visible. There is no
special magic with the "Result" tab, it's just there to make it convenient for you in case you want to enter the
results.

Q: When the dialog to modify a printout type is opened from "Adapt | All printouts" nothing happens when I press the button
"Print", why?
A: This is because in this view there is no data selected to print. In general SOSS is not able to guess which group
etc. you want to have printed in this view. If the same dialog instead is started from the menu above the list of
players of a certain group, then this works fine.
