I double checked my PPT and it is 2007 but I still can't open that version of your presentation. HOWEVER, the other version opens without a problem. So, thanks for the alternative. It was a good program, I learned some new things that I expect will come in handy.

While this list is not by any means exhaustive, these are the sites most volunteers have used to solve genealogy problems for patrons of the West Florida Genealogy Library. In short, they will get the job done - for free - for the vast majority of genealogy problems http://robledal.org/genealogy.htm On this link is also a link to an abbreviated version of the PowerPoint presentation used in this morning's presentation. This PowerPoint link is to a 7 megabyte version of the 30 megabyte original but retains enough of the presentation for you to follow some of the specific steps we discussed. If you were unable to attend this morning's meeting, the above link is still handy though you won't get nearly as much out of the abbreviated PowerPoint link. The PowerPoint is a 2010 version so if you have a pre-2007 PowerPoint you may have to download a free PowerPoint Viewer at the following link to view the presentation. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=cb9bf144-1076-46 15-9951-294eeb832823 Jerry Merritt ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to FL-WFGS-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message

Thanks for the feedback, Carolyn. Your heads-up that the 2010 PowerPoint didn't load on your computer gave me a chance to put an earlier version out on the Internet link before the majority of the attendees went there. Glad to hear the earlier version is working. Jerry On 2/6/2011 2:13 AM, Carolyn L. Kranz wrote: > I double checked my PPT and it is 2007 but I still can't open that version > of your presentation.
