Glad you worked it out to your satisfaction, Karen.

I did it the slow way by deleting each one. All that code stuff is very confusing to me. When are you going to write a book titled Duxbury For Dummies? I really need to learn more about Duxbury. I've had it for about 5 years, and have learned just enough to get by with my own transcribing. That's the very simple basics. I just don't get all the stuff about styles and codes. Have you ever considered doing an online class for beginners?
