Ron, Interesting. It looks like I might have stumbled onto something, but I have no idea how I did it or what I did to set it off. I'll have to go back and take another look at it, only this time pay more attention to what I did to get there. :-) Thank you for the reply. David E.

Displaying the History list Select "Search, History" from the menu to bring the history list to the front in the sidebar, or click the History tab at the top of the sidebar (4th tab from the left with the round icon.) Going to a person in the History list You can highlight any person in the history list to return to that person in any of the navigation views on the main screen. You can also do "Search > Back" from the menu or Ctrl+Left to move back to the previous person, or you can do "Search > Forward" from the menu or do Ctrl+Right to move to the next visited person. You can also customize the toolbar <customizing_the_toolbar.htm> to add Back and Forward buttons to the toolbar so you can move through the History list with a click of the mouse.
