Jackie - Manchester Cityy made my day. I am an exiled blue; happy to be in 
Devon. I was there with my father 34 years ago, the last time we won at OT. 
Talking of OT, this message is, so I'd best stop <smile> -

| Hi Peter
|
| Ian has just tried pasting into Notepad direct from the BBC site, and the
| same thing occurs with JAWS 9.0.whatever.
|
| I am aware though that you can get lots of unwanted codes, so what I tend 
to
| do is use the Paste As Special facility, and then select Unformatted Text
| when I am taking large chunks of info to muck about with.
|
| Well it is true that you learn something new every day, contrary to what
| some people believe (smile).  Thanks so much for your suggestions.
|
| The good thing is that I can't be angry for long because there's always
| something to make me laugh, and Manchester City are doing that right at 
this
| moment (sorry United fans).
