Matt,

Thanks,

I'm not sure how to use your first suggestion, but I had thought of your
second, but didn't know how to make the text I would put in the hidden edit
*selected*, so the "copy" would work on it; but I accidentally came across
something I'd saved once, mentioning what seemed to be exactly the "command"
I needed to make text in a "range" selected....now if I can just find it
*again*!!

Dan
