and if we must be pedantic, not the only spelling error

but you know what? .. I am useless at spelling because I am dyslexic - I always have to triple check and even then invariably miss something and have to live with it or edit

but it never gets in the way of the art.. and I know at least one great artist [not designer - artist] who cannot write at all...

[hey Fred - did I spell pendantic right this time? ] [sorry Big Frank]

[Big Frank]

the OP makes a good point whether his point includes a spelling error or not

let's get back on tpoic, oops topic

[handrawn]

Yes, sorry Frank and frank

and its got worse - the help that is - it doesn't so much read as a 'help' as a 'manual' sometimes, but without a properly comprehensive index or cross-referencing section...

""as a 'manual' sometimes, but without a properly comprehensive index or cross-referencing section... ""

Steve, bless his soul, has taken my whole thread complete with spelling errors and done a reader's digest on it, summing it up in less then 10 words. Thanks Steve, that has hit the nail on the head and stated the whole problem in 10 words or less.

still can't spell though - so you are not alone in that either..

I write all my posts in Microsoft Word first and the cut & paste this tends to eliminate most of the errors. Some people just like posting questions on the forum so they can get a response from another person “they don’t get out much” or is it just easier. It could also be the fact that it makes them feel more part of the community.

I was always taught that the only dumb question is the one no one asks.

I also know that often someone will post a question thinking we have been looking over their shoulder and know what they are asking about. It is important their questions are worded so we know what program and specifics about what they are having an issue with.

Getting back to what this thread is about. It is sometimes difficult to locate the Help subject we need. We may have read and remember some part of the article but still have difficulties relocating it to obtain fine details we don't remember.
