Thank you for your response and help!

I did think of that.. Unfortunately the template did not come with .fla files, only a host of xml files. I did look for font info to see if perhaps there

might be conflicts with fonts or missing fonts. but as far as I can interperate the coding, cant find anything.. I will now include some coding here.

Perhaps it is helpful?

This is the beginning of the xml page I am working on to add a header and body text...

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<data>

          <title>Text Page</title>

          <field>

                    <title>Text Field 1</title>    ............        (this is the title tag that I place my header text in. but when it shows in browsers as [e Fed]).. the T, x,i,d,l are all missing..

<text><![CDATA[body text to come here.....
