Hi Sue, I think you could be right. When I cut and paste into Word I can see the website info is in table format. I've only been using IE9 for a couple of weeks, after upgrading my PC. Processing via Word does get the data back to a better format. Anyone else out there have a better idea?

Have you tried Firefox or Chrome as a browser, I haven't used IE for years, which is probably why I have not noticed the problem. -- Jane.

Just out of interest, Jane, it doesn't happen using Chrome. Thanks for the suggestion.
