Well - guess it's good to keep everyone on their toes...

anyway, will try the Add to Work idea. Already use macro.
Just thought it if was built in, there might be an easy, simple way to do
that.

As for Dayo's comment - probably the thing to do is open a new doc based on
the template... then when you use it, do a "save as" the first time and give
it a different name. That way you keep the empty doc in the Work menu, but
have the doc you've written on saved under its own name and in its place.

Now, let's see what other trouble I can dream up while writing this
report... it just goes on and on.
