Hi Martin,

I frequesntly see people expressing disappointment, and sometimes even anger, that Word doesn't provide a built-in means to do something that few people seem to have a need for.

I'm sure Word's feature list is mostly driven by demand (and some of the perceived need may be only that - perceived), plus features that MS designers think would be 'neat', even if there's little use for them (eg marching-ants text). I think the fact no-one's even developed an add-in to automate the process you're trying to achieve is an indication of how little demand there is for it.
