Keith,

Thanks for your suggestions but I have move the monitors as far back as possible, both at
work and at home, and that of course, did the trick.

The problem at the moment is, at work, I haven't sufficient space to move my mouse any
closer, and that's due to the setup of the office. At home, I would need a removal company
to shift all the papers, files, floppy discs, CD's, beer cans, etc, etc, etc, in order to
get at the table, on which my mouse is on, and move it a little closer, but it could be
done.

I must say, I've been meaning to do this, and I hate to admit it, for nearly a year. I
just take one look at the mess and put it off.

I shall have to grasp the job with both hands and get on and do it. It would make using
the computer far more comfortable.

Thanks again for your suggestions Keith, 

Roy.
