Hi Edel, and All, In many cases there are functions in PC land that one can use which may be not always necessary for you to use! Don't burden yourself with such like you mention unless it is really necessary! or indeed autoresponse should you may really not need it! Glad that you are finding the list useful. Keep the questions coming! I am still learning after x years!

Sorry for the deluge. I did say I'd leave it ticket till I got a positive response and I received that almost straight away from Susan But I forgot to untick it. My apologies. Hope its done now. Let me know if its not. Thanks for the info Paul re Printing to a file. I may be missing the point here but I can't see how its of much use. Does printing not always refer to producing something in ink? Sorry if my question seems a bit dumb. I'm loving all this learning. I never knew until last week that if you held down a key on your mobile phone while texting, it would produce that number. I always went the long laborious way. Little hints and tips like that are really appreciated. Not to mention all I'm learning on the computer. Thanks Paul & all Edel..
