That's (IMO) akin to telling somene to just send a printed copy, or fax instead. It's quite likely that the other party may want to modify the table, add text, etc., etc. As mentioned in my previous post, the copy paste and paste special features _do_ work. Now we just need to figure out why they don't work in Bob's case. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
