Ron, Thank you so much. Both the blank page and the "another name" cures did work. Haven't tried to do the searching with tags yet, but with your very clear instructions, I'm sure I will be be able to achieve it. I used to could figure this stuff out, but I am pretty "long in the tooth" and it just isn't as easy as it once was. Sure do appreciate the boost.
