Interesting thinking Daniel but sadly it does not work. The Word document is a Table and contains entries with some typed in and some calculated. All the typed in entries are fine always. Of the others just a few, seemingly random, are incorrect, coming up as thousands rather than hundreds. When I change the font as suggested a different small group are incorrect. Maybe that is a clue? Good Christmas to all Severin Crisp
