My concern was whether it would show what was my text and what was the original since they both looked the same. It didn't quote like it normally would but it is fairly obvious as to who said what. The biggest thing, I wanted to let folks know that if someone doesn't step up that this package may die. I don't use it myself, although I've considered switching to it, but know others on this list do use it. Some of them likely have the skills to handle this if they have time and choose too. Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
