Hello Donna: Thank you so much for this tip. I forgot that I had asked you for that so thank you for sending that to me and I’m so happy that I found this today. I saved it in the notes so that I can do this when I get a chance. Again thanks a lot! These tips should be somewhere I don’t know where so that’s why I’m trying to save all these in a note.
