It still says it was generated by Microsoft Word. It's obviously some MS nonsense. There's a mixture of ascii quote marks and the curly ones and it's a pretty ugly way of rendering a fairly simple text presentation that could _look_ at least interesting. "Tag-soup" is a good one. C'mon John, type out your text as plain text, then mark it up. Word has a pretty good "plain text" style you can work with, you know. -- Very old woody beets will never cook tender. -- Fannie Farmer

Yet in the end result are things that could only have been put into the source by MS-Word. I suspect that your copy did include the source, but not in a way that was immediately visible to you. -j -- Jeffrey Goldberg http://goldmark.org/jeff/ I rarely read HTML or poorly quoting posts Reply-To address is valid

Thank you. I wasn't even thinking in terms of the the F word. John's response was as if I had blasphemed, not merely used run of the mill profanity. At least I've shown since then that I take my blasphemy seriously when I want to.
