[QUOTE="nvts, post: 345866, member: 3814"] Ok Sue, my Mom was an English teacher - so what did I do? I went to a blank page in my "Word for Windows" and typed it 4 times. Twice with the commas and "January" spelled out and twice without the commas and the date in numbers. The only thing that spelling and grammar kicked back were the two that had the commas in them and read as follows: [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Testing on 2/2/02, showed fluffy cats.[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=3]Testing on January 2, 2002, showed fluffy cats. [/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=1]They were considered "sentence fragments".[/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=1]Hope this helps - I'm going to fiddle on the web to find current "comma" etiquite![/SIZE][/FONT] [FONT=Calibri][SIZE=1]Beth[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
