hi, thanks for your reply.
the code nearly works, but the character boarders contain whole words and not just 1 letter.
so instead of putting 1 'ChrW(9660)' in front of every instance of a bordered word, it puts a 'ChrW(9660)' in front of every single letter
making it look like ...
>H>E>L>P
instead of ...
>HELP
any ideas?
Thanks
