Nolan, You posted to the right group. I guess you went for the digest, getting everything together once a day. I get every letter as it comes in, I can handle the sequences better that way. - Thanks for your input about Appleworks. You are correct - later is not always better. (If we take the candybars, for instance, how much substance have they lost since the last century and they are getting thinner and thinner and more expensive- i.e. toilet paper.- )I have never used macros, but I was trying to venture into them ( my Apple Missing Manual gives instructions on them as if they were still in the software.) However, they are now missing in the pulldown window and the help menu is of no help either. Helpviewer does not know how to handle the selected url which is: Applications/Appleworks6.app/Contents/Resources/Appleworkshelp/ws/pgs/ wsmcros.htm . Now I ask anybody what that might mean.
