I think Barbara is taking diction lessons from Shula.
If you have Windows 95 and enough RAM memory (I have 32 MB, which is more than enough), you should be able to have WordPerfect open at the same time you're online with Mudcat (and it should work the same way with MS Word or any Windows or Mac word processor). I just use my mouse to highlight the text, right-click and copy it, and then go to the word processor and start a new document, right-click and paste the lyrics into the word processor, and save. I don't think Mac's have that right-click thing, but copy-and-paste has always been easy with Mac computers. the whole process should take about 15 seconds, once you get used to it.
Same thing the other way around. You can copy-and-paste from a word processor into Mudcat, and you get the advantage of having a spellchecker to help you avoid looking stupid (well, for me and some others, it might take more than a spellchecker to accomplish that...)
Hope that helps. Don't give up until you have it mastered, Chet. You'll be amazed how much time it saves when you get the hang of it.
