I type Ctrl-C and it duplicates the block in situ or tells me no block is selected, then when I try to paste it into NS I get some text I had saved some time before from another document. Then I try Shift-Ctrl-C and -V, and I get the selected URL twice! Well at least it did paste the URL but it's not surprising that I gave up on StrongEd. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ Skype: minijem2 mailto:r...@minijem.plus.com I don't want a "user experience" - I just want stuff that works.
