Copy from Netscape, paste to Abiword, copy from Abiword, paste to Oracle. What a royal pain. It was explained to me, but I have forgotten the reason. Linux will never make it to Joe Lunchbucket's computer until it becomes resolved, and this problem goes back a LONG way. It was 6 years ago when we were doing that procedure to copy, cut & paste. I feel your pain. :) Ric </BODY> </HTML>
