Thanks Charles,

Track changes was turned off. I have also checked a similar document and have noted that it also has codes in red. I'll check to see whether other options for the documents are the same. I have tried to publish the document in another of my websites that has CuteNews installed and I am getting the same result - document copy accepted by the Cutenews WSIWYG editor and successfully saved but not visible on the web page.

Since the installations of Cutenews on the two websites have their own data files I can only conclude that something is wrong with the Word document. The only difference between the content of the two documents is that the document that won't post had a scanned image attached. This was removed so unless there is some residual code that I can't see related to the scanned image I am at a loss as to what is wrong. The two documents were created a month apart both being the minutes of a local parish council meeting which contain similar content.

Thanks once more for your help with this issue.
