[Year 12 IT Apps] upload of macros worksheet to vitta site

[Bane, Janet A]

Hi trish and others,
 
I have uploaded the macros worksheet to the vitta resources page today.  I am sorry you were unable to open the original attachment, but I didn't realise there was a problem.
 
regards

Thankyou Ross.
I too have chosen to use a web based email client and not use Outlook.
I suggested that outlook uses go to the following website
http://www.pchell.com/support/winmaildat.shtml

This instructs them how to do exactly what you have emailed here, however, I've also given up on
that happening and have installed the fix (that was posted today). Whilst I don't have a problem
with anyone using Outlook, I do find it frustratrating if one has decided not to use it and is
therefore unable to share/open etc. Is that discrimination???
