Hi Nancy,
 NF> I mark a block and use GH-Chord it says "Copied."  It goes into
 NF> the Clipboard, as far as I understand things. Then, when I try
 NF> ING-Chord it says "Paste what?"

A revision gives you three options after hitting the dots 3,4,6 chord.  The
choices are  D for date, T for time, and C for clipboard.  Do everything just
the way you were, but when it says "paste what" press C for clipboard.
     I usually create macros as I need them which isn't the norm and isn't much
help to others I guess.  The one I use most is designed to work on things like
manuals I want to read in transit.  I download them into the BNS.  If they have
lots of lines of underlines, asterisks, and/or = signs, and if the reject
ornamentation doesn't handle this, I create a macro to delete most of them.  The

macro might go something like this:

     N-chord, key, f-chord "find what" followed by ____ e-chord d-chord c4
echord J-chord "initial key" then let it rip.  (Can't remember whether you even
need the final N-chord on the end of this one.
     Hope this helps a bit.

     Ron
