Yes, that worked beautifully. Thank you!

I was looking up about working with lines and didn't know about the paragraphs thing which might put me on the right track. Now I've done what I needed to I'll pick this apart and see how it works...

One last question on this one: how can I restrict the running of this macro to the current section? I've played around with Set oFind = ActiveDocument.Range(Sections(wdActiveEndSectionNu mber)) but I just keep getting errors.

Thanks.
