Hi Jenn

thanks for that

Trish

NB Check with your transcription agent. I use Laurie Turtle and he does transcriptions from the archives cheaper than ordering through the site.

I had to originally phone him with CC details as he doesn't have online payment facilities. Now I just order by email & he charges my card (with my permission  :) ).
