Hmm. Well, this seems really cool, but I think you've gone beyond my depth.
It looks like I've done everything as you describe, but no joy. When I press
Ctrl-Space, VO is silent, again silent when I press Ctrl-X. I then try
pressing CMD-c to copy, and when I press CMD-V to paste the presumably selected
text, I'm asked whether I want to convert the document to RTFDB. Have no idea
either where that's coming from, or where to begin to figure out what's wrong.
thanks for the help, Barry, glad it's working for some of you at least. :)
Cheers,
Donna
