Any suggestions what I can do, other than delete, of course? Thanks Joan

	Under Start- All Prorams - Accessories there's a program called Notepad. This is a primitive word processing program. Open it, then copy and paste your stuff to that, edit it there as needed, then copy (or cut) to your target (PAF here). I use it for all sorts of copy and pasting - even stuff that's got embedded HTML buttons and links in it. This program is so dumb, it doesn't know much about html, so it just grabs the text and uses that - typically exactly what I want. I find it so useful, I've created a shortcut to it on my desktop.
