Its in 2014 the button look like they can be used but when clicking in them they have no response.

 Thanks you very much for your response. I am 45 and if you seen my gallery you will see my skills have dropped off so I'm getting ready to get stuff from digital tutors and gnomon. 

You're never too old to learn, my friend.  Good luck.  I have not come across any bug reports so far in which this situation has been reported, but I'll keep digging.  If I come across anything useful to you, I'll post it here.  Meanwhile, I do have a few free tutorials on my Youtube channel that may be useful to you as practice exercises before doing the more lengthy Gnomon or DT tutorials.  I'm adding several more with full audio narration this weekend as well.  Here's my latest: http://youtu.be/ks5y4iVe5lI
