WELL DONE KAREN!! Yep you can pick an area if you want. I'm sure we will all help if we can, I will but still a newbie to it. Please dont call me a bully! But did I have your hair pulled too tight? Good luck, best wishes, Jo

good on ya karen,yes,you are supposed to pick an area. good luck,i'm sure we'll all do fine.

You will do ok Karen... Good to help what we will all use!! Anyone else? You can use your own CD'S too. Another part of the email I wonder whether it might be worthwhile mentioning that if they own CDs themselves that they have purchased it is fine to transcribe from these also - no copyright is being infringed as long as they are not copying the CDs for another person to use. I have a few volunteers doing this.

Karen email me and I will send it on....dont give up!

up again!!!!

Hi everyone. Just to let you know Carol has told me that 22 people have signed up from this thread and a few more thinking about it!!! How good is that! They all thank you.

Wowee Jon That's good!!! Do you do a page a day and then are you still sending pages to Carol or are you at the stage when you will finish the disc and then send it to be checked?? Just curious Ann,Doing 1861 for Darlington

Hi Ann, have sent in my 6 pages and have made a couple of mistakes, left out hyphens and didnt put a code in where the house was unoccupied. I jusr try and do it when I can, but I think I am going to set some times when to do it. When it's quite BUT it isn't that often in our house! Where are you up to?

Oh Jo I have been naughty I have had the disc for some months now and only got 27 pages done. But you lot have given me the incentive to discipline myself to a page a day and as Carol says we are volunteer's. So keep up the good work!! Ann

I think that is good Ann. Everyone has different time to give. Looking at my other message I best keep a watch on my spelling when doing it!! I'm sure all of us can keep each other going on it too. Good luck.

how long before c.d. arrives? i'm raering to go !!!

It took mine about a week and a half to two weeks. Mine is from archive cd books, have sponsored a book from them and bought a CD before. Very good scanning.

Just added my name to the growing list. Hope there's lots of computer buffs out there, as i'm pretty useless in that dept, but am willing to give it a go. April.

Your not alone there April. I'm sure we'll get plenty of help from Carol and the folks on here though. Jeanette

April & Jeannette, your not alone,i only know the basics,but we can help each other. Chris.

alright you lot...youve convinced me!! i will contact carol and add my name aswell... uuummmm.....could someone tell me how to use excel!!!! lol susie

Hi, Wanted to join transcibing, but cannot get to the software as it needed to go to floppy disk and my floppy HD is not working at all (been like this for 2 years) Are there another way to getting it before I emails Carol to offer my services?? Tracy

Tracy, i saved mine in "my documents", and opened it with"microsoft word", it,s all jumbled up tho,so if you open a spreadsheet ,then open my documents,click on censdemo,it will open up o.k.do the same with the blank doc. hope that makes sense! hope it works for you, good luck, Chris.

ive just had a reply back from bernadette at freecen im going to be doing 1861 for gloucester im getting the golly wobbles now:( susie
