I did fix it by re editing it and yes it was copy pasted from textedit to the box for "notes/captions" so it is the problem.. thank you for that.. good help from you so my thanks... problem soved.. it is jsut that i sometimes write my stories that accompany my pictures before the picture is made. It involves some fairly long stories that would be difficult to write as I post the pictures directly to the box.. I guess I hae no choice but , hey, it is a minor thing anyway.. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen and I am glad i asked and got my answer.. Once again Thank You very much...
