Tonks:
My brower is set for the UTF-8. I do use Word to compose and then I 
cut and paste to the list. Are the quote marks the only problem? It 
drives me crazy when it puts the quotes upside down like that, but I 
never knew what to do about it. Can I change the formatting just for 
that or will it throw other things off?
