Hi Paul,
Thank you very much.
Just in case any one is wondering, there isn't always a total solution in I. T
land but possibly nearly almost!
Thanks Paul & Loretta for taking the trouble in responding.
Much appreciated.
Tony.

Hi Loretta and Tony,
Whenever I get an email asking me to click on the link below I usually copy
that link and paste the link into the "start menu and run box" then press the
enter key and it works fine.
As for the google toolbar, I usually don't install this item and would advise
anyone who has it on their computer to uninstall it as it tends to cause more
problems than it solves. Go into the start menu, then settings and then control
panel. Now go to Add or remove programs and arrown to the google toolbar entry.
Now tab key over to the remove button and press the spacebar. Use the tab key
to tab through the follow up instructions for removing this thing and you're
done.
Paul.
Your first question:
Now I have an email from Google Alerts with a link to verify and another to
cancel.
Yes Tony as you said just click the verify link with your JAWS cursor. I
honestly can't remember what came up for me but you will know if it worked or
not when a Google Alert mail comes into your In Box and if not just go back and
try the enter key or clicking it again with the JAWS cursor. I know it worked
for me and I didn't need anybody to click it with the mouse.
Your Second Question:
What is the procedure for having for example the Google toolbar fill in the
requested email address?
With regards to this I know as little as you about it, so perhaps someone
else might come in here and clear this one up for both of us.
Best wishes
Loretta
I filled in mine by typing it in.

Hi Loretta,
Thanks for informing us about Google Alerts!
I have successfully created an alert, or so I have been informed!
There is, by the way an option to discontinue an alert which I had wondered
about.
There is quite comprehensive info when you click on the link which we were
kindly given
by you.
One question, and it has to do with filling in forms online?
What is the procedure for having for example the Google toolbar fill in the
requested email address?
I filled in mine by typing it in.
All the best,
Tony Sweeney.

Hi All,
I am at the moment interested in a certain topic so I created a Google
Alert which sends an e-mail into my In Box once a day. In this mail there are
links to the topic of interest so I can enter on the link I wish to read. So,
have a read of the below and you may like to set up a Google Alert for
yourself. This just involves going to the link I have listed below and typing
in the word or words you wish to create the alert on and then entering on the
Create Alert Button.
Details on Google Alerts:
Google Alerts are email updates of the latest relevant Google results
(web, news, etc.) based on your choice of query or topic.
Some handy uses of Google Alerts include:
list of 4 items
. monitoring a developing news story
. keeping current on a competitor or industry
. getting the latest on a celebrity or event
. keeping tabs on your favorite sports teams
list end

Regards,
Loretta
