Good day all. Thankyou to all who offered words of encouragement to still my fears about upgrading SpeedBMD. I upgraded this evening and it appears all is working fine - but oh dear. I know you can't please everybody and I know the transcribers asked for the new modifications - but is it going to be too much of a disaster if I go back to the previous version? I really cannot cope with those numbers on the "End of Batch" bar in the surname column when in Block Input mode. Every time I look up from the keyboard to check my page number input, my eyes which are looking for a set of numbers are automatically drawn to the gaudy yellow set instead of the plain black ones at the other side of the page. Is it just me? I can only hope that I will get used to it eventually. Best wishes Anne Cruise
