Thanks, Stephan. It's been a while since I had corruption from copying to a floppy, as cited in the reference; one less thing to worry about. Seems like only yesterday...

Whatever corruptions Andrew is seeing, I am happy not to change places with him. I have generally had good luck with the old method.

The most extraordinary document in my experience was a long government document in which our response had to be submitted. I reported this in a post a few years ago. Evidently it had been copied and pasted-into for many years. Opening the styles pane I found a long list of styles. I guessed over a hundred. It was, if I recall properly, more than 400. I printed out the styles list to show my colleagues; it was about 60 pages.

Needless to say, I did some weeding before we started.
