Larry, Will give it a try when time is available. I have a part of my application that produces a two page memorial service when a brother dies. Currently I export several items to a file and use a MS Word mail merge to produce the printed program. Since I upgraded to Word 2007 and process doesn't work as well as with Word 97. I have partially got it to work with an ODBC connection to RBase. Even dusted of my copy of R:Merge an tried to convert the Word document but am having trouble with control of the format. It is double sided printing with out dented paragraphs. Since it is such a seldom used activity I am trying to fit it between graduate school classes.
The V9.0 enhancements might help.
