Dear Debby;
I had been saving them in my BookShare folder, but I think your idea of a
folder labeled "Help Desk" is a much better idea. I will have to implement that
and move certain things to that folder before I forget. Thanks for the great
suggestion!
In terms of working within word to produce certain things, I am pretty sure the
execution of those 2 symbols (for copy right and registered trademark) have to
do with auto spelling, but someone else, possibly Mayrie, will correct me if I
am wrong. I know that with the settings I have set him both my neck and my PC
it executes it encircled as opposed to having parenthesis on either side of the
letter.
