I didn't understand his problem that way. It seems he wants something that will automatically change the MONTH in the headline for each new issue. A paragraph style won't do this, it will just apply the style to each headline and if you make a change to the style, it will automatically be applied to every paragraph using that style. I'm a total dummy when it comes to scripting, but my guess is that a script could be written that would automate these changes. You're completely right about the usefulness of paragraph styles. People new to DTP absolutely *must* learn to use styles and not just ad hoc paragraph formatting. --Judy M. USA Registered Linux User #397786 Being productive with VectorLinux 6.0 SOHO
