Hi Jennifer, I'm not sure how you are accessing gmail. I just log in to my gmail account.
I think I was successful in changing the subject line above. I did this, Hit R for reply Arrowed down to the forms field of the subject line and deleted the words which were there Typed in my new subject line and arrowed down to the body text which is where I am typing right now. Haven't been following this thread so I don't know what you have already been told. If you need additional help, feel free to email me off list. Hope this helps, Sherri On 5/13/13, Jennifer Chambers <jennile...@gmail.com> wrote: > Kathy, thank you very much for trying to help, but these instructions > don't seem to work in GMail.
