Gulp. I just tried the Paste Special feature for the first time today. And you know what? when I pasted as text, it actually worked without the annoying fonts.

When you paste from another (non-FM) source into FM, the format is determined by a maker.ini setting (and the nature of the material copied, of course) that looks like this: ClipboardFormatsPriorities=FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP, MIF, RTF, TEXT You can override this by selecting Edit > Paste Special, and then choosing from the available options. But if you regularly paste text from Word, emails, etc., into your FM docs, I suggest you change the maker.ini setting so that text comes first. Then, the Paste command will (for textual material) default to pasting plain, unformatted text (which will, of course, adopt the formatting of the pgf into which you paste it). Here's the way I have my maker.ini line set: ClipboardFormatsPriorities=TEXT, MIF, RTF, FILE, OLE 2, EMF, META, DIB, BMP HTH! Richard ------ Richard G.
