Aki, I'm still not sure where our problem was. I started with a text file. Loaded it into the CG. Had the CG's font set to 10 point so everything would fit across. There were about 50 lines. The first 6 or 7 needed to be a 40 point. The rest at 30 point. After everything came in, I blocked the entire page and changed the font to 30 points. Then I went back and changed each of the 7 lines to 40 point. The text was set up with a single space between each line. In other words, double spaced text. What seemed to mess me up was the blank lines. When I first changed everything to 30 point, these lines probably became 30 point. Then when I changed the 7 lines of text to 40 point, the blank lines stayed at 30 point. What is confussing is that the scroll should have run faster, but it actually ran slower. Anyway, I ended up going through each blank line – all of them, not just the top 7 – and deleted it and then entered it. This did the trick. NewTek needs to write a full fledge word processor into the CG. Bringing text into the program is fine, but if you need to make changes it is a bummer. Fred
