Thank you Linda and Doug. I was doing as you suggested, Linda, and
actually did figure out how to change the name through the window
that opened with a right click. But time-consuming... I tried your
suggestion, Doug and you are spot on. For your info, it was set too
slow. I moved it just right of center, and now it's working great.
Thank you again, M
