I’ve noticed a problem when cutting-and-pasting information into FTM 2009 that includes hidden formatting commands. For example, if I copy an entry from FreeBMD into FTM 16 or any other Windows program, it looks more or less like this: Births Dec 1865 (>99%) Smith John Lancaster 8e 519 However, if I paste the very same text into FTM 2009, the result includes hidden Javascript formatting commands. I tried to copy and paste an entry to illustrate but, like most Windows programs, the javascript commands don't appear when copied to the Message Boards! But, by replacing the <> characters with brackets [], I can reproduce what the text looks like when copied into FTM 2009: Births Dec 1865 (>99%) Smith John Lancaster [javascript:golink(] 8e 519 [javascript:gopage(1865,4,0,'8e','519',1)] I hope this is something that will be fixed in a future version.
