    A word document kept on the computer desktop? Once they're typed in, you can cut and paste to other documents.

    Oh, and something obvious to put them in on the actual desk top so they're herded in one place!:rotfl:
    Thanks, short-bird.

    Now, do I sit and play or do some more bits off list???

    Just having a cuppa and a rest. The cupboard under the stairs is looking pretty good right now. Trouble is, the living room is now trashed and full of junk!
