html = 'hypertext markup language' - now you see why the initials. It's basically a set of instructions (scipting language) providing details to a computer program such as Word on how to layout a document for display - headings, font, position on screen, etc. Not quite a programming language, you can usually see these instructions by selecting a menu option to 'view', then choose 'code'. Not that hard to learn, though has a tendency to demand you describe things like colour names in numeric codes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- To sign-off Parkinsn send a message to: mailto:[log in to unmask] In the body of the message put: signoff parkinsn
