Thanks. Not sure it was ever just a Word thing. I installed a new
Office version and the template seems to be working now <crossing
fingers>. Lots of little annoying issues like this with Win2K.
Everything I've been using worked fine for years on Win98SE, but Win2K
seems to have a lot of issues, current service pack or no! <g>

Thanks.
