Thank you so much - that works beautifully macropod.

I have hit another problem though. The program I am merging from is set up with 40 pages originally. When I merge, it only merges the relevant pages for each case - usually between 8 - 14 but some anomalies.

The program doesn't even look at the pages it is not going to merge.

So of course, when I paste this code at the end of the document, unless the last page is included in the merge, it is completely ignored.

I have thought of a couple of possibilities. Could this be placed in the footer? But if it is, will it be read and acted upon on every page, or just the last page?

My other thought is to add another page at the end of the document - something generic - for example the company logo for the back page of the document which would be then merged in every instance. This solves the problem of the code not being merged, but it means the pages would need to be inserted before that final page, rather than after. And from what I see QUOTE 12 is to insert a page break - so is there an equivalent QUOTE which will do the opposite? (I have a feeling not?)

I really do apperciate all the time you have put in to helping me macropod - I really don't know where we'd be without your help!
