And thanks to you for all the help you give on this list, glad to be able to repay it a bit. I only knew about it because I get a lot of email I want to add to the notes in my Genealogy program, same problem, and I had the same thought as Nancy - "I feel there must be an easier way to do this than what I'm doing" So I took a week figuring out an answer. <lol> I also figured out I love that find and replace, can do so many great things with it!
