You can apply Prefix/Suffix Lines at an arbitrary position as well. Taking your example, just make a zero-width columnar selection by setting the insertion point before "line", then Option-dragging straight down through the desired range of lines. ---- Here is a |line of text Here is a |line of text Here is a |line of text Here is a |line of text A line of text that I'm not changing. A line of text that I'm not changing. ---- where | shows the position of the column selection. (For a better representation than my ASCII art :), please see "Working with Rectangular Selections" in the PDF manual.) Once you've got this selection, just apply Prefix/Suffix lines with "new ". ---- Here is a new line of text Here is a new line of text Here is a new line of text Here is a new line of text A line of text that I'm not changing. A line of text that I'm not changing. ---- Regards, Patrick Woolsey == Bare Bones Software, Inc. <http://www.barebones.com> P.O.
