Greg: Quite frankly, I am humbled by the amount of work you have done creating the FixSpacing macro. What I didn't realize I was asking for was a long way from how to turn off messages about searching from the beginning.

I did a doc comparison to see what you did and now see that I should have done a more careful job of identifying patterns at the gitgo -- and I that surely have a lot to learn. There was some missing code at the top, that I replaced using the doc comparison, and, of course, it runs perfectly and cleans up the mess I intentionally created in my test document. I learned a lot from you just from looking at the code.

I'm going to return to your site to see what you have there on searching. I had no idea I was asking for so much. Thank you so very much.
