I don't really have a clue what you are speaking of in regard to a "music spaction options" dialog. I don't know how to get to one in WinFin2003. The only thing I know about is the one in the document settings dialog. And on another note, why do you always use non-standard quotation style? Is it because you're using an email program that doesn't support the normal standard quotation style? -- David W.
