Don't work on Poser files with a wordprocessor - they tend to mess up the formating. Quoll et al are right that BBEditLite is reliable. BTW, if you get Poser files in PC format and want to look at and/or edit, BEFORE you run them through MartinC's nifty converter, you can drag their PC icons to BBEdit's icon (or its alias' icon) and they open. (Guess if you have a batch to do, you could convert them all to PC format, and back to Mac when you're done.) Elisa/gryffnn
