That's an idea I proposed in the beginning of this year, but I had an idea of extending the [CONVERTCHARS] so you could chooses a conversion table. But I think your soultion is better (if it allows us to replace strings, too).In the meantime you could do this with a simple applescript. Use ACME scriptwidgets so is it really fast, too. ************************************************************* Christer Olsson Stora Nygatan 21 Phone +46 40 791 50 Art director S-211 37 Malmoe Fax +46 40 97 99 77 Ljusa Ideer AB Sweden http://www.ljusaideer.se
