PML (eReader) offers all this possibilities, and that is the reason for my macro.

Hi Peter,

I see - great idea! I never noticed that loss of formatting or maybe I just forgot - switched from Palm to PPC two years ago and didn't use pdb since then. I much prefer to read either rtf or html, now (using µBook). Coming to think about it, maybe the reason for preferring rtf is that my pdbs lost all the formatting in the conversion ...

CU,
Klaus
