The following format works OK for me if the Font name contains spaces.

I think this is perhaps because the script you are editing is "read only". When you open an existing script, by default it is "read only". You are unable to edit it until you make it editable (Edit|Read Only). The same applies to the Form Editor. I would probably be helpful if the Editor notified the user that it is unable to make changes to a read only script. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
