Hi, Bud. I think we can all say the same thing. I know I can, and I can still say that everything I do probably isn't right, either. <smile> Take care. -- Julie Morales Email & Windows/MSN Messenger: mercy421@xxxxxxxxxxx Skype: mercy0421 Please contact me if I may not recognize your contact info before adding me or I may not add you!

Hi Jill, Thanks for the info. I just sent one off today and had to strip each header out by hand as they were in some crazy kind of script and the scanner read them differently each time. What about when it gives the author's name every other page, should those be eliminated also? I think the quality of submissions would be greatly improved if the people upstairs would publish a little treatise on what's expected of a submitter. I've just been learning as I go without any real guidelines. Thanks again for the help.
