I would appreciate it if
a. you could try it on Word.X first.
b. you could let us know what your existing database field actually says.

Thanks,

That looks like it might work, or at least from a mysql viewpoint it
seems reasonable. However I have just ordered office 2004 for mac so I
shall wait untill it arrives in a couple of days and then give it a
whirl.

I'll post again as soon as I have had a chance to try it out.

Once again many thanks for the offered suggestions. The simple fact
that one actually gets a response has made me decide to abandon
OpenOffice for now and go with "Bill's stuff".

Thanks again
