Thanks,
I tried it using an Internet Explorer document saved as html. I can
see where it would work for me with some tweaking.
However, just as I am still using HyperCard, I am also using Word 5.1
for the Macintosh. It doesn't recognize html. I got Word 98, but
discarded it. I will get it out and experiment.
Sigh, the world changes.
