Mikey likes it; however, given my limitation these days of
sometimes
not being able to recover hard copy, think I'll scan that page in
memory as a pdf file in an appropriate folder.

If all else fails, can do a "search" of all the drives to retrieve
the
file.

If you scan a hard copy document, and create a PDF file, it will not
be searchable. It is the same as making a PDF of a picture of your
wife, there is no text to search. As I understand in working with
genealogical document, you can create a searchable database for the
image PDF document by doing and OCR of the document.

If you print a PDF document from a word processor, the text is
maintained as text in the PDF document, and is searchable.

You could search your hard drive for the file name but I forget file
name so for me that would not work.

That's me.

I use a folder named JUNK to keep various files.

I don't even try to remember a lot of file names.

Tracking down a specific file from among 20-30 files in the JUNK
folder is NBD, at least not yetG.
