I used to use Netscape so I've noticed a difference in the way that 'find' works. In Explorer, you have to use the same word several times before it "remembers" to fill it in automatically until changed. And then when you do change it, it tries to continue to use the old search word. Don't know if there's a way to fix that. With Netscape, it would "remember" the word you're searching for until changed, and then obediently use the new search word, without remembering the old one first.

It took me a long time to find that, also. You may have noticed that these computers and software are a bit deficient in instruction manuals. If you have to teach yourself, it's all trial and error learning.

I just found the neatest little thing for searching LONG documents, pedigrees, or speeches. You hit control then the letter f and it gives you a box to fill out where you can put a name or word and it will look for them over and over again. > > Talking about a helpful shortcut. *smile* WOW. > > > > --------------------------------- > Do You Yahoo!? > Yahoo! - Official partner of 2002 FIFA World Cup > > > ==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== > Unsubscribe from the list: > Mailto:Blacksheep-Chat-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsub scribe > > ============================== > To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: > http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 > > ==== BLACKSHEEP-CHAT Mailing List ==== Unsubscribe from the list: Mailto:Blacksheep-Chat-L-request@rootsweb.com?subject=unsubscribe&body=unsubscribe ============================== To join Ancestry.com and access our 1.2 billion online genealogy records, go to: http://www.ancestry.com/rd/redir.asp?targetid=571&sourceid=1237 _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx
