Thanks Jim,

I have all the critical updates installed on my IE/OE on
Windows 2000 and my Scripting is still enabled. I don't
think my friend has a clue as how to update or how to set
the files to prompt/disable/enable.

I'll learn WEFT and hope. But what a pain to have to go
through to make a different file for each font, if it
isn't a default font.

I'll try to find the stationery newsgroup and see what
they do. That's a good suggestion. I haven't seen them
before.

Thanks for the help.

Bob
