That works but the doc is near 40 pages. I have this fond belief that I can find some software, install it and figure out how to use it in less time than it would take to cut and paste 40 pages. Of course I may already have spent more time poking around for a program than it would have taken to just cut, past and clean up but where's the fun in that?
