Hi Lin, That is a brilliant idea. Let me forward this on to Rick.
See, I knew this list would think of something to try! Thank you!

Someone like Rick Quatro or Russ Ward or Bernard Aschwanden probably has a script that does that already, or can write one for not too much money. Although from the point of wanting a vector graphic, Rick's workaround is obviously a better solution and probably about equally tedious. :) You can join the Word-PD list here: [email protected] You don't have to put anything in the subject or message body. Good luck. I'm sorry we haven't been able to come up with anything beyond a really, really manual solution so far.
