        Michael,

        Thanks fro your post. I did in fact get this working, and you CAN use word. The temporary file that Forms creates is a text file and you can have the option of saving to a different filename if you put other stuff in it (like underlining), but any changes you make that aren't strictly "text only" to the temp file get stripped out when you import it back into Forms. It works great.

                Thanks again,

                Jason
