I'm so frustrated!! I've organised all the rest of the transcriptions. And decided to scan and email them rather than posting them. I has the advantage that you can 'zoom in' and see hard to distinguish word, more clearly. However, in order to maintain decent print quality the files are to large to email! Grr, if I reduce the size the text becomes illegible, If I keep it the same then I can't send thenm.

Back to the old fashioned methods I guess....

Hi Amy k,
Just got your reply, but am having trouble navigating the system.  Will gladly give you my address and email if i could find out how.  Is this done on a personal reply basis, or is there some other way. All help gratefully received

Hi Juliepen,

The best way is to send me a PM, that way your personal info stays private.To do this you need to click on the green scroll, by my name on the left hand side of the screen.

Thanks again for your offer Juliepen

Amy can't you put them into PDF format? will the files be smaller then?

If you think I can help you drop me a line and I will see if we can both come up with something.
Take care Jen
