Hi Dick,
Have you tried copying your IE Favorites to a new location?
Here's what I did.
Open IE
Click on Star (Favorites Bar)
Right Click on the Favorites Bar
Left Click on Copy
Paste the copied material to a folder that you create

I'm not sure if this new list will automatically update itself when the original IE Favorites self-destruct.
If so, this method won't work.
Still, it's worth a try.

Hello All,

Our APCUG Representative, Judy Taylour, often provides tech articles to supplement the newsletter of its member groups.
I never include any of them in the SLO Bytes newsletter, HardCopy.  Instead, I upload all of them to the SLO Bytes web site.
Judy just forwarded a new batch.

Hi Dick,
Reading the information at https://www.chromestory.com/2011/01/where-are-my-favorites-in-google-chrome/
one learns that what IE calls Favorites are known as Bookmarks in Google Chrome.
I hope that this helps

Hello All,
I have several computers running Windows 10 Professional. I have automatic updates enabled and check for updates regularly.
I am running 1803 version KB 4023057.  I have not been offered 1809.
I believe that I can manually download and install updates from the Windows Update Catalog at http://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=windows%2010%20version%201809
Questions:  If this is correct, can I just download the latest version of 1809 or do I have to download and install all of the earlier 1809 versions sequentially instead of skipping all but the latest one?
or
Should I wait for Microsoft to offer 1809 to me through automatic updates?

Please advise.
Thanks,
Ralph Sutter

Hello All,

I have created a tutorial showing how I used Microsoft's Word 365 Mail Merge feature to create a letter for multiple recipients. 
The video has three parts
   Creating a data base from which to draw names and addresses
   Writing a standard letter with a personalized greeting for each recipient
   Addressing the envelopes by drawing from the data base.

View it on YouTube at https://youtu.be/bd2bPQBvac4
It is also contained in my collection of Fullbean Tutorials at www.fullbean.com/tutorials/tutorials.html
Specifically, it will be found at http://www.fullbean.com/tutorials/mailmerge.mp4

Hello All,
I regularly use Microsoft Outlook 365, often saving e-mails in an elaborate file system.  I can relocate them by typing in the Inbox search engine words that probably are found in the title or the body of the message.  While that search often locates the wanted files, it doesn't tell me in which of my many folders the message resides.
However, the file location can easily be located.  I created a tutorial to remind me and possibly others how to go about that task.
You will find that explanation at http://www.fullbean.com/tutorials/outlook-find-folder.mp4

Hello All,
Here are my notes from the SLO Bytes Photo Group meeting of 11/11/18
TOPIC: Images of the Night
The meeting opened with Ralph Sutter demonstrating how he enlarged an image, printing it over 36 pages using the Windows program, Paint.  Sutter’s goal was to create a life size profile of an Alpaca for tracing on a sheet of Masonite.  View his tutorial at https://youtu.be/xKge3PXiHAw.
Ralph then shared night time shots of Cusco and other Peruvian locations.
Connie Sutter followed with images of the evening in Hangzhou, China and her own back yard.
Bob Styerwalt displayed night shots of his neighborhood pointing out subtle changes in focus and subject matter.
Bob Grover brought twilight images from the mountains of Tibet and the wilds of his own back yard.
Alan Raul presented numerous sunsets, both as observed and after manipulation with Aurora HD; https://skylum.com/aurorahdr
Monica Tarzier contributed night shots as viewed near her home in San Luis Obispo
John Waller demonstrated how he used long exposure times to illuminate night scenes, employing this technique both locally and at Disneyland.
The next meeting will take place on Sunday, December 9th, 2018 @ 2:00.  The topic will be Scenes Suggesting the Approach of Christmas.
LOCATION:
Home of Connie and Ralph Sutter
