I was actually taking it a step further and removing trailing blank lines at the end of a paragraph and even removing internal blank lines between paragraphs etc. But obviously that is over kill both in need and design. Although, killing off blank line feeds at the end of a paragraph might not be such a bad idea though. I once had a customer who complained about their printer because it kept printing out blank pages at the end of a document. Looking at her document, she had about 4 pages of CR with no text. <bg>

Anyway, I think I have it implemented well now.

Thanks!
