Yes 3 columns, I guess you were using tabs and not the centering function. But 
yeah, those were nice and neat, no shifting of anything. The line above those 
for Rob was wordwrapped, the email address that is. Don't know if that was 
intentional.

There may be a few minor errors but I don't know that any importation is 
always 100% but in this case it looked liked it nearly was.

I just noticed the file you sent the extention was .doc (Microsoft Word) and 
not .wpd. I may have to try this again. Do you have anything with a .wpd of 
no consequence?
