I was going to try some experiments to see if in fact the font traveled with the message but I find that I can no longer call up this particular font. It was available yesterday while composing an HTML message but today cannot be seen in TB!'s font selection pull-down when composing HTML. A check of START ► CONTROL PANEL ► FONTS shows that it still exists in my computer's font folder yet it won't even show up when using MS Word. Very strange. -- Best Regards, Jack LaRosa :usflag: Central Alabama Using The Bat! ver: 5.2.
