Thanks Paul, this is fantastic, I would bever have got here on my own before the wet seasons starts. Now have plenty of homework getting to grips with the hows and whys of your code.

Further on my project list are:
invoking the macro correctly when saving the document (opened from the template).
updating the Title property so it stays with the resultant pdf.
Saving to pdf by default.

But I'll start a new thread topic for these should I need to (that's pretty optimistic of me, but one never knows)

Many Thanks from Queensland
