Teresa,
Thank you very much for your kind, supportive response to Lynda. They
were VERY well received by me, too. I have not yet touched sentences,
custom "anythings", or place styles because they overwhelm me and I'm not
ready to be overwhelmed yet. I know there are MANY :bells & whistles" in
TMG that I am not using, but hey, they'll still be there for me when I'm
ready.
So Lynda, welcome to TMG and don't try to do it all in the beginning.
Happy tree climbing. Barbara Heard in the beautiful Mother Lode of the
California Gold Country
