Word is just one option. If you don't need its powerful formatting features, why not use something like NotePad or WordPad which use far fewer system resources. When you get to a stopping place, enter a string you aren't likely to find in the document like xxyyzz. Then the next time you want to read the document, look for that string and delete it.

Gary,


   This is why I mentioned about saving it microsoft word that didn't help much. YOur right about the limited navagation because word isn't the best with find commands and if so which phrase or word to pick out of a book you haven't completely read? Well, I have another question to pose to those of us that know somethings about I.E browser. I put in my prompt box and null will pop up on my pages that I try on my site. I did it on active content on my machine with success that is supposed to emulate what I.E is supposed to do even though Firefox is doing it fine. I'll show you a small example if you go to my site go to my aboutus link where I proposed to my fiance. Now, you can see the source code is right and everything. Does this make sense? I don't think so and I'm going on my lessons later to more methods with the if and else statements!

adios,
