Hi Mary, Ok, the good news is, you didn't do anything wrong. This malfunction has nothing to do with what you have done with the file. It just happens sometimes. I think what's going on isn't that the marking and cutting didn't work, but that every time you reopen the file the problem happens again and the pages are re-replicated. What I would suggest is that you cut the extra pages, close the file, and then use another word processor, such as Word or even Wordpad, to see if the cutting worked. I suspect it did work, in which case the key is not to open this file in Kurzweil again--just upload it. This is a real nuisance that I've experienced several times now, and I hope Kurzweil can figure out what the bug is and fix it. Kellie
