Hi Sims, Too bad you're on a PC, or this wouldn't have been too hard to implement using AppleScript. On Windows, you may have a shot at it using Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) calls. Even though DDE isn't supported directly in RunRev, there's the Externals Collection : http://www.xworlds.com/metacard/external.htm You can use Google to find a group where you can ask for more info on MS Word DDE calls. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel. ===== "As we grow older, we grow both wiser and more foolish at the same time." (La Rochefoucauld) __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
