Hi Esther, Thank you so much for clarifying this! I knew about the shortcut command, but hadn't realized yet that it was a toggle! I think that I can speak for all of us who feel technologically challenged, when I express my heartfelt thanks to all of you on list who take the time and patience to carry us along! I usually get things pretty well once I have a clear explanation of them, but figuring them out for myself doesn't always come very easily, even though I try to carefully read documentation whenever possible! So, again, thanks to all those of you for whom these things do come easily, and the rest of us will continue to soldier on and not drive the rest of you completely crazy!
