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,       Jim Moseley              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
