Ah, I see. I've been tinkering and may be able to get what I want.
Thanks all.
p.s. Is there a good publication that describes lesser known functions
(like the use of fields and style references) other than the ones MS
puts out or is that pretty much the bible?
The online Help file is OK at explaining stuff, but the index is pretty
bad -- a lot of the time you have to know what you're looking for, or
exactly what Word calls it, before you can find it.
The books from QUE Publishing, such as "Using Microsoft Office", are pretty
good. Like any printed book, they have their limitations -- if the specific
thing you want to know isn't in the book, there's no way to ask for more
info.
There's a ton of stuff at
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs, including tips and
hints that are hard to find elsewhere. It's a bit of a disorganized jumble,
though, because the articles are all written at different times and with
different levels of explanation. There are links to the websites of
individual MVPs and others at
http://word.mvps.org/UsefulLinks/index.htm.
Probably the best method is to use the Advanced Search at Google Groups
(
http://groups-beta.google.com/advanced_search), using
"microsoft.public.word.*" in the Group box, to search for words or phrases
in these newsgroups. Often you'll find one or more threads that describe the
solution. If you don't find what you're looking for, ask here!
