Re: Is there a Word guru in the house?

Well, I feel much better now.  As handy as this numbering is, I am way too
busy for a treasure hunt and, if it's not an easy answer for this group,
it's too complicated to spring on the general public of my company.  I'll
just switch it to a simple numbered list.

Thank you for your time. I'll be watching the continued responses.
