Thank you all for your assistance. I too couldn't get
manoffewwords' suggestion to work.
Ausatco's link would seem to indicate it is a problem with Word97 and became noticeable when I upgraded my processor. But I'm with Ausatco completely now re Method 2 in that link. Amazing how many great things are just THERE that we don't know about.
Thanks again, including you TCS, sorry if it seemed I was jumping on you.
