Word did not flag it as an error. It’s one of those words we brits put a ‘u’ in for some reason. ---

Ha! I _knew_ it was an error! 😃 Now that you mention it, I remember that Word doesn’t necessarily flag words as errors until you hit the Enter button. Though sometimes it will happen. Eh well… now you know how to correctly spell “forty.” 🙂 F\_X ---
