But I think you missed the point on this.  It can include a : which it 
stores as a ^A in the table.  If the table is editted outside of filePro 
and the colon is stored as a colon, filePro will be unable to load the 
table - so you get no codes at all.

But filePro does not change the ^A back to a : when it inserts it into 
the document, so the expected colon is not in the inserted code as the 
Anzio product requires.

I will be glad to send you an output like this.  I made a bunch yesterday.
