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.
