fun in the rain liz lockharts real estate reality cape girardeau real estate: Why does the signature disappear? - 02/02/11 11:34 AM
"I can see it on the screen, but the signature is not there when I print the page! What happened?" I get that panic-stricken email or phone call quite often. The "disappearing" signature is an electronic signature, and your printer software sees those electronic initials and signatures as something called "mark-ups."
When a document has mark-ups, it has to be printed showing the mark-ups (see illustration). That is an option you can set in the print dialog box that comes up after you send the print command. Follow these steps:

fun in the rain liz lockharts real estate reality cape girardeau real estate: To see or not to see an old disclosure - 01/27/11 05:49 PM

fun in the rain liz lockharts real estate reality cape girardeau real estate: Make your own snowflake - 01/09/11 02:21 PM
It's always snowing somewhere, and you can add to the beauty, no matter where you live. Just for fun, make it snow by going to http://snowdays.popularfront.com/ . Besides creating your own snowflake, you can send a link of that snowflake to friends.
It's really just for fun, but I'm housebound with a fever and stuffy head, nose, and chest for the third day; and I thought I might pass this along to celebrate winter.
I made my snowflakes in 2004, and the links still work. Have fun and enjoy the snow!
