Hi Charles,

I agree with Paul too and certainly appreciate his help.

However, my book cannot be second rate graphically! I want to push Word to its limits. I have access to graphics designers. I just don't know how to tell them what I need in Word official terminology.

You can put the best content in the world into a book, if the graphics not good, it is a handicap. I don't know at the moment if it will be published directly from Word.

Setting the background & border graphics for Heading 1 (chapters) sounds good!

That solves one problem. Two other issues: fancy graphics textbox and fancy bullets?
