Well, now I do feel idiotic. But if I hadn't asked -- and if you good folks hadn't come forward with simple solutions -- I would be sitting here for the next 10 years wondering what to do.
A simple Tab and End combination works perfectly, as does using the clicky thing (I think it's called a "mouse") on the bottom of the SCROLL BAR (I used to call it the "elevator bar"). And who knows, if I try real hard, I bet I can write a QuicKeys macro that will do this automatically! Nah, too difficult. (Insert dreaded smiley face here.) At any rate, thanks for the help. Here's hoping the next questions I throw out to the list are a bit more substantial. David Dawson >cheshirekat on 8/11/03 said > >>That's the extent of my knowledge of selecting messages in PM.
