If the site address contains the ending com or co.uk then GR won't let you type it without putting brackets round the full stop before the word com or the word co.uk or the other three letter word beginning with c. Kath. x

Julie, that is correct, but ONLY applies to (.)co and (.)com it is NOT required infront of or to replace .gov, .org or .htm or anything else in the middle of the address.
