Despeckling is off. I thought of something though. Someone else suggested that it might be those dashes that look like an m that are being removed. I said that I was pretty sure from context that it was commas, but now that I think of it, the use of dashes and commas are similar, and besides, the same thing is happening to hyphens. Do you or anyone else know how to prevent that? I have been just replacing these instances with a comma and a space whenever I catch one. There are just too many though. It slows me down considerably. "If you tremble with indignation at every injustice then you are a comrade of mine."

If it's off, then I don't know what the problem is. But I do know that despeckling will eat commas. Kellie ************** An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!
