Samuel Arnet has pointed out a SEVERE problem in pasting Unicode/XML Westminster Leningrad Codex text into Microsoft Word. Text containing transcription notes (superscripted, red characters) produces incorrectly-ordered words when pasted into Microsoft Word. (Example: Gen 34:11) Removing the transcription note restores the ordering. Alternatively, use the "Simplified" mode which eliminates the transcription notes (and the ketib variant, chapter:verse markings). Strangely, this problem doesn't occur when the text is pasted into Mozilla Thunderbird messages.

Please report any other problems with the text.
