Hi June Hey ! thanks for that, I knew that I had seen that somewhere and now you have confirmed it, 3 Columms on each page and over approx. 100 names for each columm would have me reaching for the Gin Bottle, and I dont drink LOL.

Hi All Got a confirmation that the Co-Ordinator had received my Test Page and I made a couple of errors, on the page it gave a surname and underneath the Christian Names of other family members but, the Surnames part just had a dotted line. I thought I had to put a dotted line also, now got to amend it. Oh and I got a bit carried away, One of the Districts was Middlesbro' but I spelt it in full Whoops. Anyway it must have been okay to continue because I just have to amend the above and then I have to continue with all the rest of the Page.....at least 300 names and then send it direct to BMD after Using the Verify Program. That one is a long boring bit as far as I can see. But am enjoying it. "Walter" City of Lincoln Whats good for Calous's (sp) on finger tips ?? LOL

I think you would be best to ask your group leader those questions. They are usually very helpful. Good luck.

I was accepted as a Transcriber for the FreeBMD NWL Syndicate, Co-ordinater Peter on Saturday evening. I finished the Test Page this afternoon and thought that I had sent it back correctly at Teatime, but Not so. I then had to do a bit of moving it around till I eventually sent it about an hour ago. Question...I am using Netscape 6.2 for my Emails under the Username that I used to register at FreeBMD, But for some unknown reason it would Not pick up the Output Folder that held the Transcribed file. I then later opened Netscape Navigator 7.1 which I also have and set up the Email addy as registered and was able to send it according to the instructions for WinBMD which I use to Transcribe..... Okay to the Question....Which Mail Program do you use to download a file to Transcribe and to upload the Transcribed file ???? "Walter" City of Lincoln
