Hi Richard, You'd have a new respect for the payoff after labeling 55 chapters with more than 3 words, and many start with "The" or "A". If Rainer's idea is too much work, an easier route could be made. Somewhere in the code is a constant, variable or magic number describing the max length in words of a default label. Just use that constant, variable or magic number to set a variable, and then override the variable based on an environment variable if the environment variable exists. I'd guess it would be about a ten minute change. Then, if that environment variable solution becomes popular, at a later time the number of words can be set using a genuine configuration screen. How does that sound? Thanks SteveT Steve Litt Recession Relief Package http://www.recession-relief.US Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/stevelitt
