Yeah, I should have it done about 20 minutes after I decide whether to use the WordBasic object or Word Object. WordBasic is more universal, as it works with all versions of Word. The Word Object is better (a little bit faster according to MS), but is dependent on Word 8.0/10.0. I guess I will go ahead with WordBasic for the purposes of getting it working as the changes to the Word Object in the overall scheme of things is minimal....
