    If I move a poem into Archive, will it keep the helpful comments with it or will I lose them? I need to re-work a poem but haven’t the time right now. I don’t want anyone wasting a review on sth that I already know needs work. Humility works for me. Erm sometimes

    Copy and move?

    What I did, was to copy the whole shebang onto my hard drive, comments and all before doing anything. Nothing lost.

      Thanks

      Thanks Terry. Couldn’t hurt to experiment with a backup in place first Hope you are well

        Just fine, thank you. Thriving, even, being useful.

        Will be limiting my time here now; work demands almost full-time effort for half-time pay—the time I spend with my student. I was delighted they renewed my contract. When he was 4 he had a tumor surgically removed from his brain, and the damage almost destroyed the hippocampus, and most memory. He was nine when I met him, highly verbal, but he did not know his letters yet.

        None of the usual methods work because there is a gap between his eyes and memory. Had to invent audio- methods, so with tape recorder and phonics, he can write page-long stories now after three years with me, (and with almost perfect spelling!) but cannot read it back. Slowly his reading is improving, and we have hope for his future, hence year four.
