Hi Mrs WOH1
I'm pre-computerisation so always think cut and paste refers to wallpaper but I'd better put in a request for one of those idiots guides to computer books since it is the season to be merry:roll:
Glad that Woody spotted the typos that I was too polite to mention though
Maybe we can persuade Martin to include a spellchecker
