Mary, my power is on the right, but, of course, our monitors are different 
brands and ages.

Also, for any of you, there is a way with the mouse to increase the letter 
size on the screen. I'm not sure how to do that; it has something to do with 
the wheel on the bottom, I think. Maybe someone on this list knows how that 
is done, in case anyone needs that.

In God We Trust,

Carolyn
