A hearty "thank you" again to everyone who replied.

As an update, I am not going to include a graphic inside a table, because I would have to explain how to do that to the audience I defined in one of my replies. (The users of the template will add many sections to what I have provided.)

Also, the reason there is a ½" time graphic after every heading, is because training materials are, by nature, a visual medium. Training material uses many graphics that other kinds of printed material would not. (Sales is also a highly graphical arena, but it uses different kinds of graphics for different reasons.)

As I said in a reply, I will wait until we are all upgraded to Word 2013, at which point it sounds like the issue will be resolved.

Thanks again to everyone who responded.
