Hey again! The ctr A is just a shortcut to highlighting. It highlights everything at the same time rather than using your mouse to move over all the type. But I tried the >b< too and that is what appeared. heehee..I am always in standard not html so not sure. It must be our Window XP. Have no clue on how to fix it other than what I am already doing. ohhhh huuuummmm..If I come up with anything I will let you know and you do the same. Take care and thanks!
