Sorry it took so long to reply, I didn't have the group set up
correctly.
The "hidden text" idea didn't work (maybe it was just me). The text
did not translate.
I didn't like the sound of "Transliteration". Phonetic
interpretations?
I tried the "hidden text" approach by using the buttons "tooltip" and
that will work, but I just don't like the mouse-over display (it's a
large amount of text that shows HTML tags <b></b> & <br/>). Your idea
will work, but it looks like the text has to be visible (or at least
capable of being visible).
Thanks for your help.
