Is there a special form, i.e. resembling (save-excursion ) to achieve this? regards Joakim [1] The manipulations in question are typically text properties, i.e. manipulations which should not be saved. -- /--------------------------------------------------------------------\ / Joakim Hove / hove@bccs.no / (55 5) 84076 | \ | Unifob AS, Avdeling for Beregningsvitenskap (BCCS) | Stabburveien 18 | | CMU | 5231 Paradis | \ Thormøhlensgt.55, 5020 Bergen. | 55 91 28 18 / \--------------------------------------------------------------------/
