whole line [mouse over to read which is </font><font face="arial"><span style="font-size: 14px;">which</span></font><font face="arial" size="2">] and another one will insert lines. What I did was just inserted five lines where I had skpped people and then when I was don deleted the exxtra lines at bottom of page, all I had to do to save the ten lines that I put in the wrong place was change the line numbers.</font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2">As to the T's that Barb has found that are so mystifying I seem to remember there being a poor farm in that neighborhood early in the century?? Barb, again if is is not a number in colum three, it doesn't go in column two of the transcription page I got dinged for entering a 109.5 so it has to be whole numbers. It really should have been 108.5 and if not entered that way I think it should have been blank but
whatever.</font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2"><br></font></div><div><font face="arial" size="2">CC go to </font>
