Is anyone else using Eudora and Verizon? I have Earthlink for my email, so I have Eudora set up to receive incoming email from Earthlink and to send outgoing email via Verizon. Verizon is apparently changing their email settings and I'm not sure what to change. In particular, they are apparently enabling SSL and specifying a port and I don't know where to enter this info.

If anyone has the above program, can you please help me with the queue ? I am in the midst of loading 850 tombstone photos to my web site and cannot get the queue transfer to work. I hightlight the files I want to transfer, drag them to the queue window, then go to "transfer" and click on "transfer queue". I think I have done this before without a problem, but it doesn't work now. I appreciate any help. Thank you. </HTML>

Haven't seen a reply to this yet. Hope you have found a solution by now.   Not sure that I am judging your problem correctly.   Could it be that you have made each block of the header the same size. If so it would expand as you enter the phrase in each one, but will revert to the size it was made when you close the program. You have to size each block in the header to hold its shape.   Bea >________________________________ > From: S Carpenter <spcarpenter5468@gmail.com> >To: computers@rootsweb.com >Sent: Wednesday, November 27, 2013 6:29:22 PM >Subject: [COMPUTERS] using Word 10 to create a cemetery list. > > >OS  Win7 > >I have tried two different ways to do this, each time the header for one >section  will revert back to another header.

OS Win7 I have tried two different ways to do this, each time the header for one section will revert back to another header. It works, I save it, then go back and it has reverted agail. It is not the section next to it that it reverts back to do. I even tried a new document, made sections, for each cemetery with name only, then added the information later. This file is 156 pages. several cemetery listings have only a few people listed, and there are 16 sections. The problem seems to be with the El Bethel header, for some reason. It will look correct, then all of a sudden, I notice it has reverted to a previous headed. I am not linking the header. The headers are correct at one time, then incorrect, then I fix it, it is ok, then the next time I check, it has reverted back. Any help or explanation? I have had trouble with the headers in documents before, but not like this. spc

Hi Lori, Yes I have and it didn't not matter. Also when I went back to the file to readjust what I have done, I discovered that the computer had changed the adjustment back to the original setting.

Nivard and others, Wireless rodents of course don't have the gunk build-up that ball-type do. For a decade, I have been using an optical ball mouse using the thumb on my right hand. Yes, it must be cleaned periodically. Those of you with carpel-tunnel syndrome, you might consider trying the MS optical ball mouse (they are getting hard to find). This removal of the right hand movement (and only the thumb) totally removed my carpel-tunnel problem. Dale

Hi Barbara What you say is absolutely correct Regarding interference You reminded me I had that same problem with a crt monitor that was close to the mouse (as it was so big it had to be at an angle) That was a few years ago and took a while to fathom out as well, I had quite forgotten that problem It doesn't solve my problem now but its certainly worth taking into account Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/11/2013 16:48, Barbara wrote: > If you have 2 wireless mice in close proximity they may be causing the > problem. > Shut off one of them if there is no shut off switch remove the battery of > one and see if it corrects the problem

Nivard, The touch pad is worse. I bought the mouse, which is not attached by wire to try to overcome the problem but that is not much better.

Hi ?? Have you tried swapping the two mice over and see if they react the same on their opposite number ? It may just be a faulty rodent I used a previous optical mouse for some years and it started acting up after about four or five years, nothing I could do would fix it so replaced it with my present one, this has worked perfectly until this last month or so, I thought it was the mouse giving up the ghost but others are reporting the same problem using different types of mouse So I suspect a software or driver problem Some bright spark at microsoft may have "fixed" something without checking the repercussions Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/11/2013 05:13, wstjs@aol.com wrote: > > Neither of mine have balls anymore either.
