Dan
Please do not belittle yourself for a lack of knowledge concerning the use
of a computer program.  I would venture a guess that many of the subscribers
to this list are at the same level as you or maybe even lower.  The computer
programs of today are very complicated and specialized training is required
to know how to use them to any real level of competency. If this was not the
case, there would not be whole floors of Software Help Desk agents around
the country to assist us. As a former member of that profession, I know that
even among those who man the help desks of the nation for a living, it is
quite common for a tech to say to a caller: "Can you please hold, while I
check with a [insert software name here] specialist."  It is a rare help
desk agent, indeed, that can answers in-depth questions concerning more than
a few pieces of software.

So, go easy on yourself.
