Jay -

I am trying to do this with VBA. What I really need is to access ONLY the
middle "section" (I know this is not the correct use of my vocab) in the
header and footer. For example, I'm trying to get this done:

##### (TAB) MyString (TAB) ####

Where the pound signs are something anybody can manually enter, the (TAB) is
the seperating tabstop (making the header/footer have a left alligned section
of text, a center alligned section of text, and a right allighned section of
text). MyString is a variable in the VBA code.

Currently, all I can think of is count the total characters in the header,
then divide it by two (hoping that will land me in the middle) and selecting
the word that's associated with that character location, and changing it.
This really is way too buggy, and I know it's not the proper way to do
things! If you know of a way that I can access only the center section of a
header or footer, I'd greatly appreciate it... thanks!
