I made a document with three columns that views as three columns on my screen, by choosing columns from the format menu. Now, when I tried to replace ^n with ^p in this document, I got no replacements. But, it was very easy to "de-columnize" this document by selecting the text, pressing Alt-O for the format menu, pressing c for columns, typing the number 1 for 1 column and pressing enter. All of the columns went away and the text looked just like one flowing document. Jamie in Michigan Currently Reading - Chocolate Chip Cookie Murder by Joanna Fluke
