rick thankyou so much for your help,i wouldnt have known what to do with out you and karen and ann youve all been great:) just one other question..lol do you use capitals at all for the surnames and counties also can we abreviate the county or are we suppose to write it in full if that is how its transcribed cos i thought i read somewhere that we have to write it exactly as the enumerator had written it susie

Yes, that's right - same with mine. Glad you managed to sort it out ! Rick.

hiya rick i think ive made progress..lol ive done as you and karen instructed and it seems ok(touch wood)lol it looks like a pools coupon at the moment though,cos the writing is awful!! ive written what i think it says and then put a x in the next box.is this right:( susie

Hi Susie, Are you getting on OK ? Rick.

thanks ann i'll try that and see if it works thankyou for your help:) susie

Susie All I have have done in the past is save to My Documents and the mail it to my Co-ordinator and that has worked but maybe some one else had a better way. Hope this helps Ann doing 1861 Darlington

does anyone know if bernadette is on holiday? only i mailed her to let her know that i had recieved my cd and she didnt reply ive mailed her again to ask how i send the little bit ive done for her to check and still no reply susie

Rick , transcribling transcribing, its the same isnt it? I am sure they will love us all for what we are doing, freecen and all the others who will use it in the future. And you for all your computer knowledge to help us out!

Transcrilbling LOL !! Bet they love you at freecen Karen. Rick.

Night Susie ! Will need to get it sorted well before the footie starts tomorrow though ! Won't be able to concentrate after that. You could always save it with a different name overnight for safety. Click File Save As and call it Monday or something ? Rick.

rick you are a darling!!! im off to bed now but i'll be back tomorrow. ive just minimised my work and shall leave my pooter on all nite ok susie

Yes Susie, but you don't want to lose what you've done tonight though. If you want to keep it you're going to have to follow the instructions I put down below. Not going to chicken out on me here are you ? Happy to walk you through them one at a time if you like.

rick your right,ive started on a new excel sheet!!! could i not just open my saved one and add it to that if i change the name of the file susie

Tara Jo ! Getting anywhere Susie, or have I totally confused you ?

Have to go, hope all goes well, will be thinking of you! God bless, Jo

Hi Karen, I think Susie's opened up a fresh copy of the blank.xls spreadsheet with nothing in it and typed the next few pages in there. Right Susie ? Rick.

hi karan and jo thankyou so much..oh and rick...lol i thought i was doing soo welll,but hey! im getting there..lol susie

Good ! So the one on the left is probably what you've been doing tonight & the one on the right is the first 3 pages. If so, click on the one on the left. Go to the first row you type in tonight - should be row 4 - and click on the number 4 at the very left of the window. This should highlight row 4. Use the page down key or scroll bar to go down to the last row you typed tonight, hold down your shift key and click on the row number of that row. It should now have highlighted all of the rows you typed in tonight. Click Edit, Copy and then click on the other file at the bottom of the screen (the right hand one). Let me know when you've got this far :-)

Your better with words Rick than I am. Thats what I meant for do(ditto) Hope you get sorted Susie. Good luck. Jo

rick yes it is
