Default Found great programming source!!!!!

Finally I found someone that not only knows the inner workings of Word but
has the ability to write custom programs on the fly!

I wish that I had known about Bill Coan's talents a long time ago! After
tracking him down on various message boards and references I finally found
him at wordsite.com and immediately threw a host of programming requests at
him. You wouldn't believe how fast he was able to write custom macros to save
me a ton of work. My favorite one is the ability to copy a hyperlinked text
box from one document and then paste it on every page of another document.
Think of defining navigation links, manually it was not only killing me, but
the normal cut & paste feature in Word always offsets pasted objects. Having
to manully repostion my linking objects was so painful.

He also wrote a routine to analyze the paragraph styles in a document and
compare it to the template. Unauthorized sytles are flagged and changed to
"legal" ones. Then all the bad ones can be deleted. Too cool! Manually trying
to cleanup documents from many authors was killing me.

Bill, you are great!

Wish someone had pointed me in his direction earlier.

Not true at all. Bill is a Microsoft MVP and a brilliant programmer. And,
although he is skilled at marketing, there is no way he would stoop to this.

Bill Coan is an excellent programmer and a big contributor to this
community. I'm confident that the endorsement of the OP is genuine, even if
off-topic in this newsgroup.
