I'm in still in bed a= nd on my iPad so it's not possible for me to copy and paste from my code on m= y computer. I meant if anyone wanted to confirm, that you can just open some= template with a search with a few sorts and dink around. Sent from my iPad > On Jan 12, 2015, at 7:57 AM, Donovan Brooke
