That makes my ramblings useless. :-)

Good for you.

Would you share it when you are done???

Thanks

Tom

Thanks, Ken. That's perfect! I simply use a unique initial character for each word and another unique end character. I then use the offset function to identify and select each character in turn, get the x,y coordinates, do a bit of recalculation and then create a field that begins at the initial character and ends after the ending character. I don't even have to delete this word, just cover it with the new field. It works and looks terrific.


Thanks again.

Dan
