Hi Tony Q2; I highlight the text on a webpage and paste it into Notepad, then clean it up (usually remove tabs and new paragraphs so that I have an easily read single paragraph for all the text) and then paste it into the source detail text (actual Source Text). That way it will print sensibly in Legacy reports and I am not dependant on the webpage for what I saw. By using Notepad all the odd formatting is removed. If I need to do a lot of find and replacing I use Word, and do a paste/special/text to get the text into Word without formatting. For me it is important that I have only one paragraph for the source text, so that reports are "predictable" in their layout.
