   Actually I can't reproduce that problem in the version of NotedPad that   
   comes with Vista, either on that phrase or on any of the other phrases I've   
   just discovered on the Internet. I must make a mental note to try it on   
   other systems though when I get the time. Never come across it before.   
   Sounds vaguely interesting :-)
