Thanks for that info. Barb. I didn't think I was breaking any copyright laws because I was just quoting some of what the author said in quotes and gave his name and title of the book. I only scanned in part of it anyway. The rest was typed. I wont do this again and was just trying to pass on some useful info. to the people on the list.
