Does the web page itself actually use frames or are you using a re-directed domain name that uses a hidden frame? In either case, just refreshing will often just refresh the outer frame and not the content of the frames within.

If you have copied the content from a Word document, some of the punctuation will be non-standard and show unpredictable results on a web page, such as a question mark instead of dash. Things like dashes and quotation marks should be typed again using your keyboard to over-write whatever Word produced. To be quite certain that the correct symbol appears you can use Character Entity Codes, such as shown in the left hand column on this page: http://www.natural-innovations.com/wa/doc-charset.html The code £ should always be used for a pound sign, as those will quite often not appear correctly otherwise. Fancy single quotation marks can be achieved with ‘ and ’ and double ones with “ and ” -- Martin Clark Pennine Waterways Website http://www.penninewaterways.co.uk
