Yes, I agree - the macro was not a feature of Word - I already stated that I was wrong about that. However, if you understood the nature of this organization, you would agree that to use a macro provided from an outside party, an unoffical source, would indeed be very unwise. I admit I am not well versed in designing macros or reading macros - so that's part of it too. All in all, it worked out - although it appears there were some tears the fell during the process.
