Re: MS Word 97-98 problems

[MAGGIE SECARA <SECARAM -at- MAINSAVER -dot- COM>]

I have the page printed out and posted over my desk, because for some reason
I can't get this one to stick in my mind :)  It is

Field Codes: RD (Referenced Document) field.

The directions are about as oblique as Word help gets, but it does the
trick.

Cheers!
