Thanks Doug. It's a shame we can't do anything with Word 2000, and that our
best work-around is to copy and paste between documents. I don't think we'd
upgrade just for the feature in the Microsoft article (thanks for this
link), but I'd hope that future realeases of the software allow the kind of
sharing (like Excel workbook sharing) that I'm after.

Thanks,

Stephen
