This is really interesting, I'm clearly going to have to play around more with
the item chooser. I didn't realize that you could use it to search, I thought
that you just let it build the list of items and then chose an item from that
list.
Very cool that you can actually use search to narrow the list down like that.
I sort of didn't understand why people liked it so much, but this makes it make
much more sense.
Best,
Donna

The item chooser is revolutionary. Forinstants, type in the word,
button and it will give you a list of all of the buttons on the page.
I use it several times a day and then some.
