you answered my question. next time i hope i can ask my question in a more
aapropriate manner. sorry my grammar and puntuation were not up to your
standards. i wish computers and software were easier to use then i would not
have to bother you with my stupid questions and bad grammar. yes. I speak
english, I don't speak computer,there was no need to criticize my last post,I
don't do this often and find all this computer talk difficult to grasp. I
thought these forums were for us to learn things, not to be told by people
like you, how stupid we are!
