Brilliant As you say you have to ensure that Text Edit is in plain text mode otherwise the paste comes across as embedded images. however if the document is in text format then everything worked as a dream. As I am in volume view only the track names came across which is precisely what I wanted. Thank you Sarah for taking the time to answer so many of my questions.
