I don't have Word2002. I have Word2k. I thought that that would be
understood since I said in my original message that I was using Oulook2k.

I know you mean well and thanks for your help but it is quite obvious to me
that I am way ahead of you as far as html and scripting are concerned.

I asked you two questions in my previous post and instead of trying to
answer those two questions you asked me about a program that I don't even
have and had you read my messages properly you would have known that.

How in the world you ever got to be MS-MVP is beyond me.
