If I want to "copy and paste" text AND FORMATTING I click edit, copy, --- edit, paste, .... [you know the drill]. If I want to copy the text only, with no formatting, I highlight the text then press "control & C" then "control and V". I noticed totaly by accident that ctrl C then Ctrl V pastes only text, not boxes or font size, etc. or etc. hope that's the same on other computers........ smiles, J. ----- Original Message ----- From: "G.R.
