Hi List, Thank you everyone for helping with my ongoing online book saga. Marilyn's instructions were great but I realized, for whatever reason, that there is no icon of the book next to the title so I can't open it. Most of the other book titles have icons... odd. Jay sent the archives.org. I got in straight away which is great - I was wondering if there is a word search?? Anyways, and everyone else's emails were also appreciated.
