Hi Julie,

That's a good tip - only problem is that I need to do this in a macro ;o)
The case is that older documents contain the normal style, so copying from
these documents gets messy. I want to replace the normal style automatically
by a macro. As I'm not very much into VBA I've simply recorded a
find/replace session where I try to replace all normal styles with body
text.

Regards
Bo Rasmussen
