Thanks for that valuable lesson, David. Problem solved. In the Expression Designer, there are two menus: File and Text. Not the TEXT tab, but the TEXT menu at the top of the dialog box. Click on TEXT and the top item is FONT. Click on FONT. -- David H. Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] __

[Finale] O.T. "pizzicato" versus "pizz."

Aaron: Officially, this cannot be done directly, though there is an indirect way to achieve it, though I am not sure how well it would work with a file originating in Notepad. As Randolph has correctly stated, you cannot open a later file (Notepad 2k5) directly in an earlier version (Fin 2k3)
