2314 forum posts 139 photos	Hi Bugbear Yes I agree. Can I suggest that, if you wish to show a link to another site you enter a word (eg FLEXISPEED) , highlight it then click on the symbol above the reply box that looks like a blue bubble car . In the box that appears enter the address of the page that you are referencing . See it does work - and far more elegant! Regards Norman
