Hi Kurt, Yes, conditional macro or attribute reference will do it. > > 2.) Another problem was that many terms I needed to index have commas in > them.

That applies to all macro parameters that contain commas, because commas normally separate parameters they need to be quoted to include them in the parameter. Cheers Lex > > 3.)
