Hi all,
Cindy, it's really quite simple, if you write in *Guin in the search
field, the computer will return all entries with all possible letters
before the string 'guin'. this would be Le of course. You can use
this feature in your own search facility on your computer. If you go
to the start menu and choose search and type in Book*.doc You will get
files named bookshare.doc bookreader.doc booklists.doc booky.doc (I
don't think you have a booky, but who knows?) <grinning> If you type
in racing* you might get a file named racing-form.doc. <giggling
helplessly. Hmmmm, maybe that's more Judy S.'s thing? You gotta
forgive me, folks. I've been drowning in email this morning. I was
babysitting a plumber most of yesterday, and I just got horribly
behind, like some three hundred messages!
Anyway, you get the idea. It's a standard computer thing, It also
works in google searches.
Ann P.
