Thanks Karl. Ok I see - I guess the principal use of \xA0 is to space-align text, so you're right it probably isn't sensible to include them all (e.g. if multiple consecutive nbsp).

Likewise the only time I've seen soft hyphen (on _fi) it immediately followed a hard hyphen so that's a bit daft too!

So I think you are right - they are *not* being used correctly and the grabber should do something with them. Ok I've talked myself into it! ;-)

Thanks for your advice.
