What am i missing here? Hi there, My quick fix for this was to save a macro and then bind it to a key. From init.el ;;;; Saved macros ;; Saved macro - adds latex end-lines to verse passages (fset 'versify [?\C-a ?\C-e ?\\ ?\\ down]) (global-set-key (kbd "s-v") 'versify) I can fix a lot of lines very quickly with this :-) atb Glyn
