Try changing:


.Text = "<[! ][! ]@ly>"
to:
.Text = "<[!^09-^13 ][!^09-^13 ]@ly>"

Awesome! That did it! I don't know why you repeated the material in square brackets. I used that just once and it worked.

Now I'm curious: what do ^!, ^09, and ^13 mean? (Newbie question.)

Final test: put all the pieces together and see what happens...and...SUCCESS!
