Yeah I tried clicking on that and nothing is opening for me. I have clicked on that in the past and I've seen a window come up, but for some reason it doesn't want to open. Same goes for the hyperlink link. I completely understand what you are telling me, they are just not opening.

Thanks a lot, Allen.

I tried your advice but the html link on the article page does not work for me. Nothing opens. Same goes for the insert hyperlink link on the article page. Both links do not work.

Hello ... I just edited your article on the Caps, but I wanted to give you a heads up that the spacing is off and the BR site will not allow me to fix it.
