I totally hear ya Dave.Before I post anythin...Haha! I totally hear ya Dave.<BR/><BR/>Before I post anything on a forum I do two things. First I save the document in RTF format. RTF is a widely accepted format that should be free of most of the crap Word throws in there. I then open that document in a more gentle word processor such as word pad and copy it from there.<BR/><BR/>I tend to have more success this way. In the event that this doesn't produce the results I want I will copy the document and paste it into notepad before posting. This will strip out all formatting except regular ANSI characters such as carriage returns and whatnot.<BR/><BR/>Good Luck!Anthonyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10086911768071194195noreply@blogger.com
