Dave, Can you please clarify point (3)? Where exactly are you seeing the text? If I look at Source Text in the Source Detail screen then bold shows up as bold and not with the coding - for consistency I think it should show the coding btw.. Except that using «a.........»mysite«/a» in the Repository does show the coding.

My latest update. 1. I still don't know how this happened. I've got a few suspicions but haven't been able to prove anything yet. 2. I've converted all of the "<b,i,u,sup>" text to actual internal formatting codes (0x0171 b,i,u,sup 0x0187) in my fdb file. This seems to have correct most of my text fields (at least all of my event Notes field). 3. One thing it didn't correct was the "Text of Source" fields in my sources. I would have thought those would have appeared as text in the fdb file but apparently not. Maybe sources are encryped or something. Any ideas on this one?
