tag.) I have just answered this part of my last post myself. I just stumbled on [ConvertChars] in the manual. I have just added the line item for %0D for the

tag to the StandardConversions.db. After testing, all is well.The more I use Web Catalog, the more I love it.With this problem solved, I'm still interested in how people solve the problem of creating links to other documents within the included text files? Also how do you handle other formating like for bold etc? Do you just teach your people the basic html for formating and or is there another Web Catalog command that I'm missing to handle this problem?Mark -------------------------------------------------------------------- Mark Anderson There's nothing to fear ...
