Hi, Sounds wonderful, wouldn't it be good if we either had all these useful info chunks on a website, or even cut & pasted into a Useful Info doc that could be mailed out on request? I know that might be a bit of work, but wouldn't it save re-inventing the wheel every time there's a new user? Think of the experimentation & frustration that you have experienced & could save new users!!
