Keeps me out of trouble !! And far less of a computer challenge. I think there has been a problem with people transferring info in this way (not just me), I've seen it mentioned on threads a couple of times. Anyway have tried sending you a PM with the newspaper page concerned as an attachment, so will wait and see if it's successful.
