Hi Jim,

Thanks for your efforts. As I was pasting the excerpts to send you I realised 
that my html source viewer wasn't picking up a hidden character after the 
word "woman". This is what was confusing me. Your original theory is correct, 
this character is causing the problem. I should be able to take it fom here.

Cheers,

Adam
