Pairing the RetailPlus bluetooth mouse with a Windows 8 bluetooth-enabled laptop was a nightmare. After some experiments, there is a protocol to follow:
Easy way:
- Do not react to the popup (Tap to set up your bluetooth optical mouse ...)
- Go to PC Settings -> Devices
- Remove the previous installation of Bluetooth optical mouse, if exists
- Click "Add Device" and hope that the mouse is in the list, otherwise reinstall batteries to make it visible
- Be patient for the installation to finish
-Voilà !
Tough way:
- Remove batteries from mouse
- Boot Windows
- Put mouse upside down
- Insert batteries and leave the mouse upside down (it will go to sleep right after pairing)
- Follow the popup (Tap to set up your bluetooth optical mouse ...)
- When the device list status indicator seems to have stabilized indicating "Offline" for the mouse, return the mouse in a working position and click to wake it up. Voilà !
Note: if the batteries are dying, the mouse will not pair properly. However, there is no LED or software popup to say the batteries are dying.
Note: when booting Windows over and over again, the mouse is responsive right away. When booting Linux then Windows, the proper pairing gets lost.

How to use different page orientations inside one document
Select pages or paragraphs that you want to change to Portrait or Landscape orientation.
2. On the Page Layout tab, in the Page Setup group, click Margins.
3. Click Custom Margins..., in the bottom of the list.
4. In the Page Setup dialog box, on the Margins tab, choose Portrait or Landscape orientation.
5. In the Apply to list, choose Selected text:
6. Click OK.
NOTE: Microsoft Word automatically inserts section breaks before and after the text that has the new page orientation. If your document is already divided into sections, you can click in a section (or select multiple sections), and then change the orientation only for the sections that you have selected.
