Hi Barbra, You have the capabilities without a program to accomplish this. 1. highlight the info on the page you want to copy. I am assuming it is in a table format. 2. copy and paste it into a blank doc. save it as a text file. On aol I can get one from file, new doc 3. Open your spreadsheet. I used excel 2003- Paste it in. Excel offered to put it back in columns and I let it. Then it went into the spreadsheet after a couple of clicks. 4. do this for each page you have. Don't be surprised if you have to alter the width of some cells to accommodate different page construction. 5. Add one column and number to it so you can put the file back in its place if you should want to see which page a name appeared on. Probably a good idea to number them with a letter and a number. Not sure if you will need 2 columns for it or not -your choice. 6. when complete. Sort all according to your criteria. Let me know if it works for you. Fran

All depends on how these lists are organized on the web site and if they are separate pages for each section then creating a master list with every entry will mean taking the data from each section and merging into one - how easy or hard this is again depends on how the original lists were created. -- Best regards, Barry mailto:barry@yobunny.co.uk MicroSoft Free Zone running Xandros 4.0 Home Edition Premium

Wow! Thank you so very much, I never thought to google around for it -- and I trusted this guy on the radio!! Not only does it not do the job, it does damage. Yikes. Barry, is this site, the Sofotex, one you recommend? Or did you just find it in searching for information? Nancy

Barbra, I tried the "List Alphabetizer" free program, and it's not what you want. It requires the list be populated line by line, and lists cannot be input into the program, meaning you'd have to start from scratch with the lists, and there would be no columns for name, birth, death, etc. It's no good for sorting cemetery web pages, as the pages would require columns as well as rows. I tried copying and pasting cemetery lists from web pages into Excel, and the cells were scrambled after import. I don't know what the web pages look like that you're working with. You may be able to import them into a Word or Open Office table and retain formatting, and then sort on the desired column. In any case, your lists on cemetery pages should be created and maintained on a Word or Open Office table, or Excel or Access table, and you can immediately sort them after entry of new records, and then copy the table over onto your web page for uploading. IF all of the lists are on current web pages or data files, and all tables are uniform in number of columns across a row, you can easily paste them into MS Word as tables. You can easily cause each pasted table to merge into one single table,.and then sort on the desired column. Open Office is free and is as good as MS Office which includes MS Word.

Hi, Barry, Thank you so very much. I can still get (and send) email but all my 'input mail' prior to May 21 has totally disappeared. I have tried looking for it in the deleted file but it is not there. I had been saving a few to answer or print out (lesson learned here). Plus a family member had sent some photos (via Snapfish) which I had not yet downloaded to my computer and I really wanted to keep them. I am in the process of reading the Input repair tool kit - my son is due to visit on Memorial Day and I will get him to help me. Again, many, many thanks for sharing you knowledge.

Joan, I am self taught at the computer and unfortunately most of the time I don't know how to ask the question. But the widow that flashes ever so often giving me the message is a Microsoft window but it does not stay on long enough for me to really read it.

I can't find a brand name "Media-play". Do you mean Windows Media Player version 10 or 11? If so, in the library of list of songs, right click on the song. On the popup menu, click on delete.

Just wanted to throw in a comment about WinME. I bought WinME when it first came out, and it would be a great program for about 6 months, and then deteriorate until I had to reformat and reinstall everything. Even my shop man did the same with Win98 and WinME. I finally became very proficient at a backing up, reformatting and reinstalling, taking great pride in how fast I did it, just like the father in the movie "Christmas Story" in changing flat tires on his cars. Since I've had WinXP, it's been a whole new world insofar as stability. I've had XP since ???... well for several years now and I've only had to reformat and reinstall once. Woody ==================== PeteScherm@aol.com writes: It has been gently pointed-out to me that my last letter referred to a Win98SE operating system, whereas my earlier inquiry was regarding WinME. WinME is the correct OS. My "main" computer uses Win98SE (and I'm seriously thinking about "upgrading" the WinME on the problem computer to Win98SE). Sorry for the confusion. I understand that there are few differences between these two operating systems, however. Pete **************Recession-proof vacation ideas.

Yes you were right. It is windows Media Player. And thank you so much for your prompt reply. I tried it and it worked.  Much of the music on the media player was put on by the previous owner and I wanted to add my own preferences without having too much that I would never listen to. Thanks again Woody. I really appreciated it.   Lorraine ________________________________ From: "WoodyWoodworth@aol.com" <WoodyWoodworth@aol.com> To: senior-newbie@rootsweb.com Sent: Monday, May 18, 2009 10:18:55 PM Subject: Re: [SR-NEWBIE] Media-play I can't find a brand name "Media-play".  Do you mean Windows Media  Player version 10 or 11?  If so, in the library of list of songs,  right click on the song.  On the popup menu, click on  delete.  Another popup will ask if you want to delete just from  the library, or from both the library and the computer.
