You are correct, that using the ampersand on its own is a risk, and your post
also shows why, it has other uses or meanings in html - normally no problem,
but potentially a problem.

Pat,
I think that there was a problem with my last post (low battery), so apologies
if duplicated.
I think that you are looking in the wrong place. Brian was *not* referring to
the individuals' privacy settings but the Master Event privacy, that is the one
accessed using View on the tool-bar.

If this is all too complicated, just mark the album pages with numbers
in pencil and then create a list of descriptions in a text document.
Trust me, anything is better than nothing. Scanning for long-term
