Same here MrsDD. Because of my two fingered typing technique and the fact that my left hand can't keep up with my right any longer I have to type very slowly and even then I get letters transposed and I don't catch them until I've hit "submit" and the page is going away or I see my mistakes on the finished page. I often edit numerous times, hoping I'll get the corrections made before I look like too much of a dufus to too many people. Very Happy
