WebAuthor's Note: Steve Hudson is a prolific contributor to the Word VBA newsgroups. He is an Australian who sounds a bit like Crocodile Dundee -- you may find his conversation style disconcertingly "direct". If you do, please try to remember that Steve devoted something like a month of full-time effort to making this article available, and that the article contains many thousand dollars worth of intellectual capital from Steve's business. If after considering this, you still have a problem with his language, feel free to email Steve: however, if you are "complaining", please expect a "robust" reply.
The HTML code in this article was all written by Microsoft Word 2003. If you don't like it, don't look. If you have the time to sit there and hand-code HTML that is more to your liking, feel free. Send me the result and I might have time to post that instead. If you wish to email me to complain, feel free. That's a live email address: if you express a valid point with wit and charm, I am very likely to be contrite and responsive. On the other hand, if you are complaining about our efforts, please take into account that we don't work for Microsoft, and I am a little 'over' people writing to complain about the service we provide for free -- so I may just be downright abusive! It's your dime ... {Grin}
