Rags ~~ thank you. But my invariable problem is that when I reach your sequence #5, the whole of the window will have vanished from my desktop when I try to get back to it actually to insert the link which I think I have made. THAT is where the process always comes to a fullstop for me; so all this helpful advice about 'preview' & 'others will see it even tho I won't' & so forth is wasted, becoz the bloody copy is no longer there for me to work on by this stage. It will have gone · vanished · away into the ewigkeit!!!

But thank you all very much just the same.

Joe ~ many thanks for the PMs; resaon I have not responded as fully as perhaps I should is that I find them a bit of a distraction from this central problem I have rubricated here, which is really what I am seeking the solution to & which is what led to my originating this thread in the first place.
