Here's what I had in mind, correct me if I am wrong. In an exam, we make a numbered list style for questions. We make a variable (perhaps a macros will be helpful here) that holds the total number of items in that list (which equals the number of questions). When we update the document, the table is created by reading in that variable. The result is a table of two rows, the top one having cells with sequential numbers in them (representing the question numbers) and the lower one blank to be filled in with the grades. ->HS --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
