MS Word Question -- about templates

[Pinkham, Jim]

Jack Lyon makes much the same point, Barry, in his latest issue of The
Editorium Update, always a great MS Word resource. I don't believe it's
been archived at http://www.editorium.com/ yet, but you might be able to
obtain a copy by signing up the newsletter now if you're not a present
subscriber.

Jonathan, have you had a look at Office 2007 yet?  From the looks of
things, this kind of customization is going to be difficult to
impossible to accomplish with the new version.
