Got it sort of fixed (was Asking for help with Word VB scripting)

[Peter]

Try a simple "if not" error trap in a loop. 

A document programmer would rarely be paid anything close to the value of
the work. My experience has been that anybody who can type a simple merge
from a database thinks a document assembly coder is not worth much more than
minimum wage.
