Polly F5 button on GR refreshes the thread you are looking in. In Word in brings up the Find and Replace Box. Dorothy |

I have learnt such a lot this afternoon! Thank you, Stella, for this most technical, informative thread. I have thrown away my Computer For Dummies! Am off now to spit on screen and then do some washing. Thanks for the laughs. BC XX |

Refreshing brings you up todate with the thread, as sometimes whilst you are looking at it or replying to it someone else can be at the same time. Hope that makes sense Dorothy |

Well I never knew that! Or about using the space bar to scroll down! How about this one (think it was Grampa Jim that told me)........ In MS Word you can write fractions ......... ¼ ½ ¾ Press & hold Alt key and 0188 for ¼, Alt and 0189 for ½ and Alt and 0190 for ¾ Clever eh? Sue xx |

Ooohh your supposed to use a tissue as well, yuk. Rod |

You must have a backspace Brenda. Perhaps it just has an arrow pointing to the left (but not the one that says Enter). |

Ah ! that's it, an arrow,,,,got it ! Doesn't say back space, just a left arrow....pointing to a + and = |
