Hi Ishe, Thanks for the website. I was actually there yesterday, which is how I found the excellent tutorials on Word Perfect. The author of the site is also responsible for the Talking Directory program, which I've heard alot about and finally downloaded to try either today or tomorrow. I'll check around the other parts of the site and see what I can find.
