I've been keeping up with Bill's "Tips" he posts to this list.....they are extremely helpful to go thru, when trying to find my own answers..... Occasionally, during the early "Tip" postings (1998), the e-mail Subject and the Tip Subject were not the same. Trying to locate all the Tips was like participating in his "Skills Puzzles" series.....the Tip was "hidden" within another subject...LOL A couple of months ago, Bill gave me permission to post the Tip Subjects and under what Subject you will find it in the JP Archives...Hope this is helpful to all. I apologize for the length, but wanted to do this as a "one time posting"......Diane - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- TIP......TIP SUBJECT...............ARCHIVE SUBJECT 1...BRAND BOOKS...
