Or Outf*kt Express, as we adherents of the Eudora religion sometimes call it. We get a similar problem in word processors that ATtempt to AUtomatically COrrect DOubled CApital LEtters. Sometimes we *want* double capitals: the plural of CD, for example, which the program miscorrects to Cds with robotic diligence. What do I do? Type CD<space>s, then delete the space. The conversions are never retroactive, and as far as the WP program is concerned, there never was a doubled capital involved. So in this case, couldn't you write //<space> plus all the commands, then, at the very end, remove the spaces? And if you select all and make the Properties plain text, does that help? -- Joe Clark [log in to unmask] <http://www.joeclark.uni.cc>
