Thanks Denise.
I tried what you suggested, but it just pasted "empty document".  Maybe it 
really is empty.  Another doc sent in the same email is bigger, and has 
data, and seemed to tell me what I needed to know.  But I'm still wondering 
about the empty doc.

I call it a real problem, when Jaws lies to me.
