Springer, Please describe "Clint Checkett's Redirect macro" because I have no idea what it does, so I can't give an indicator if there is a method to replace it. I am sure I know more than I used to with TW5. Regards Tony On Sunday, December 29, 2019 at 4:00:44 PM UTC+11, springer wrote: > >

Wow, Tony, thanks so much! I've just poked around the learning edition a bit, and have enjoyed it so far. I hope your site will help get me ahead of the curve, though the big dive will probably wait for summer. For now I have to find the right balance between indulging my geek-impulse (to
