Hi Paul Hunt, 1. Are you sure you got the backslash? 2. Did you verify it using keyboard help command k that it is the backslash? 3. You don't need to put the vo cursor on a column heading. Just move over to the column, it doesn't matter on which item you land, and then do vo shift backslash. Hth, Paul. On Sep 25, 2011, at 11:06 PM, Paul Hunt wrote:
