Hi Jean,
I just looked at this in my pages, & I've done it. But there's 1 problem. It has a drop down list for the computer program a person uses, & my program isn't in there! I use iFamily for mac's. I was wondering why you have it this way, rather than allowing us to type in what program is used?
Personally, I'd rather not have drop down lists, and think it would be much better, for the user to allow us to type in the program we use. There are new programs out there, it must be impossible to keep this drop down listing up to date!
Which software are you using?
