I played around with ARexx, although not with any success to importing ASCII text from a text file into my existing document. The step that I'm lost on is how to read the file into the 'Type' command. I was able to 'Type' strings into my FC document, but not from a disk file. I even dl'ed a macro from another service which claimed to accomplish this task, but it still opened a second FC document, then cut and pasted to the first which brought along the new text/font attributes from that second document – this wipes out the preset format I'm trying to import into. Any more help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fred
