Ellen Naliboff is correct, yellow paper works well for reading microfilms. So do various shades of orange; pick up (or buy) a few sheets of yellowish and orangey paper at Staples and see what works best for you. I've also heard that a red filter over the lens works, though I have not tried this and have no idea how to fasten it. You can buy red filters at a camera store. Finally, a couple more hints for finding your place. If you're using a reader that projects the information down, draw a horizontal and a vertical line (slightly off-center) on your yellow or orange paper. This will help you follow information across the page. If you're using a reader that displays the info on a screen, use a wide Post-it Note or a piece of Post-It tape to create a horizontal line. Make sure you use removable tape or sticky notes so you don't damage the screen. Also, removable tape makes it easier to move the tape/sticky note to different parts of the screen. Hope this is useful. -- === Richard A. Danca, Newton, Mass. mailto:rdanca@ix.netcom.com =====
