Or am I misunderstanding a step in the algorithm. Also I think step 6 of the algorithm: "If there are still further characters in the string, and the next character in the string is a valid denominator punctuation character, set denominator to that character." should be changed to something like: "If there are still further characters in the string, and the next character in the string is a valid denominator punctuation character, set denominator to the value associated with that character from table [tableref]" Take care Rob
