How do I set up the snap to function? I used to have a setting that allowed
the mouse to snap to the most logical next step. Can anyone remind me how to
do this?

Hi JCW,

See if that option is available under Control Panel>Mouse>Pointer Options
tab.

The first one did post.
Go to Tools | Options | Read and uncheck the option to get ### messages at a

Thanks again Frank. I have it set at 300 now and I didn't see the first

What I suggested was to UNcheck the option.
