Hi, Roger.
Sorry about that. Major bummer, eh?
I do encourage you to learn as much as you can about your word
processing software.
Just a little at a time, learn just as much as you need to know, when
you need to know it.
What's that saying, "Slow and steady wins the race"?
On that topic, I'm looking for a user-friendly book on Word 2008, and
if it distinguishes,
for use on a Mac. I welcome any input, on or off list.
Thanks, Marilyn

Sounds like a good idea, but it also sounds like another exhausting

use the word processing software. I am currently using wordpad. In a

Hi, Roger.
Congrats on all your progress with the computer, that's really very
good.
Regarding leaving a bookmark, I'm sure there's probably a "computer"
way of doing it,
but I just do it like this. When I've been working and I decide I'm
done, I type three
ampersands, like this: &&&. You can use percentage signs, your own
name, anything
that is unlikely to actually show up in the book. Then I save my
document and close down
the word processing software.
When I'm ready to start again, I open up the document I want to work
on, and "Search"
for &&& and it goes directly to where I was -- mid-sentence, at the
start of a paragraph or
page, just wherever I was when I typed them before I saved the
document.
Can you try that?
Hugs,
Marilyn
