Katwoman
I hate to ask you this, you have done so much. I looked at your screenshot,
but I am old and don't see too well - it happens to us all. I can't quite
tell what you have done.
could/would you please email the screenshot?
cadotonc@bellsouth.net.nospam
please remove the no-spam.
I do appreciate what your telling me. I printed off your instructions and
am not having the same results.
Thanks again
