Marlene, If you have some space on your hard drive, another way to keep it
handy without having hunt for floppies, is to store tha data as separate
files indexed in a larger file. This makes it really easy to access and
keep updated.

I too have been saving selected data in a file that is now up to about 6.5
MB. I load it onto my very old laptop to take when we're on the road so we
don't have to pack so much paper. Hope you have the drive space.

I just don't have the extra space on my hard drive. (Older PC) so that's why
it goes on a floppy.
Besides I am PC Illerate. All self taught so there is still much I don't
understand.

Same here. Definitely a novice. I think I just got lucky doing this one ok.
Any way, however you're saving it, can you imagine what you'd have to pay
for a book with that much info (if such existed)? Isn't this site the
greatest?
