   Good guess.  One of the biggest uses of the formatted memo fields built into   
   the app is to grab directions from web pages, although I extract the raw   
   html instead of cut/paste.  Can't guarantee that the users don't do it   
   manually,   
   though.   
      
   I've started working with Rodney's RTF-to-HTML converter, since I'm not fluent   
   in RTF.  Hopefully that will point to problems.   
      
   Thanks,
