We are fortunate to have been provided some fantastic links and more from Sue Terry in Atlanta as part of the handout. If you missed it or can't put your hands on your CD, this is where to go to get what you need. Check some of the links she has created and see what resource material for checking that special term is available. You'll be taken to MSN Groups where you can just follow the on-screen promts. Post your E-Mail address in this box and I will as soon as I can give you privileges to the group and you'll be on your way. You will have no restrictions on what you post or download.

Since this is free space and not costing the group any hosting fees, I will continue to use this method in the future for more uploads. Bookmark the group and enjoy... or so I hope. Do you have any suggestions on helpful uploads? <G>Allen Sonntag

SC32 How to do it, Software Features, pro and con:

WordWeb is free software that answers many questions that reporters and scopists have asked for in the past. This is a full dictionary for spelling, with definitions and many other features. It runs with user-defined hotkeys and or mouse clicks and I've not found any conflict with SC32. I can't do it justice in a short description, so do yourself a favor and download it and try it. I don't think you can go wrong... and, yes, it's free. For this tip we owe a big thank you to Jenny Ebner, our past Distinguished Service Award winner.

On the MSN site I've uploaded a PDF giving details on the presentation Diane and I made in Atlanta. The request was for me t post the details on certain of the translation options as they were kind of small on the screen during the seminar, especially for those in the back.
