Hi, Terri! Thanks, that is what I was asking. Though, I would actually like a command similar to the delete commands where you could do a sindle, or two stroke, command and enter the data you wished to overstrike. Also, I like your idea about switching from all caps to lowercase. Sounds interesting.
