Hi Ken:
Yes. I know what the form will look like. It will look like BEFORE 2003.
That is what I want. I need to get the Notes on the bottom of the form, away
from the narrow sides.
I don't need pictures of contacts, nor the changes that were made. I just
want the Notes to be across the bottom.
When you say, "you should check and see where the nearest Outlook user group
is located and see if they have any training courses," what Outlook User
Groups are you speaking of? This is exactly what I am speaking of when I say
there is not enough detail in some of the answers given in these forums.
Do you mean a user group in a Company? A store? Online? I would appreciate a
little more info.
thanks
