@BrokenGirl Your kind comment couldn't have come at a better time: We lost our old boy Ry on Monday, 7/26. He was surrounded by those he loved and who loved him. My heart is broken and will never completely be healed, but I know he's having a great time and doing some work inthe Great Beyond, too. Ry, too, was a service dog--a therapy dog for abused boys. Thanks again for your note and my deepest sympathies to you, and your husband as well. -- Crabby

I just lost my retired service dog, who saved my life, retired, and saved my husband's life after he had a stroke. A pretty distinguished record! He wouldn't want dad to be home all day alone, so we are getting a sheltie to keep him company. We can't wait to see him bounding across the meadow when it's our time to move on.

My condolences on your loss. I frequently refer to your book and your column - there's a reason I ended up here today.

Thank you from all of us 'experienced' users who still can learn something new (just like old dogs)!

@Robin - First, thanks about Ry.

You know, I don't think you can, actually. Rules just aren't set up like that. If you give me an example of what you're trying to do, maybe I can figure out a way to make it work - and it may involve more than one rule...

Hi Crabby,

I'm sorry to hear about Ry. It's always comforting to have such great companions.

The rule wizad in Outlook allows for multiple "and" conditions to check for (if this and that match). How do I create a rule for multiple "or" conditions (if this or that match)?

Thanks!

*Publisher 2003 free help, training, demos, and more (this is where to start your search for help):

I am using Publisher 2003. How do I turn-off, delete, cancel, do-away-with the auto page numbering. I originally thought that I wanted page numbers in the booklet that I am working on, however, I have decided that I do not want the page numbers,after all. I cannot figure out how to get rid of the numbers now that they are on my pages. Can you help me?

Kathleen - My heart goes out to you, too. It's all part of being a pet owner, I guess. Ry is my first dog, too! Been with me since 1996, even before I had my daughter. But it's part of our responsibility to know when "it's time" for them, right? And not enable any suffering and account of our sadness.

Sorry about Ry. I've got through that with a bunch of dogs -- and am even going through that with a dog right now.
