Yea! It worked!! It still leaves half-sized lines when it's in the Word document, but for the PDA, that doesn't matter. I just have to fight that urge to fix those.

Thanx!!! clap

This is the paragraph sign:

I usually describe it as a backwards P with a double verticle line instead of a single line
Wow, all this hard work that I never have to do. Hard returns very rarely happen when I'm downloading from the Archive. My process:
1. Open story from Archive (wonderfully fast software you have there, folks)
2. Open blank Word 6.0 file.
3. In Archive, control A (select all), control C (copy)
4. Move cursor to open word file
5. Control V (paste)
And it's all there, wrapped correctly and I read it in Verdana.
To translate to my PDA, I use Pocket Word.
Guess I'm lucky.
cool

Anne, glad that worked for you. I don't use a PDA, but you might want to try the macro for fixing those broken paragraphs and see if it does the trick on your PDA just as it does in WORD.

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.
