Scripting to word 2007 and calling the macros from there will be a good
work
around. But will be faster than the time I have wasted trying to get it
to work so far. The fact that Microsoft depricated the DDE function was
reassuring as I was hoping for stability ie no changes. That worked from
wn95 to now. My other workaround may be to call paradox routines running
word 2003 on a winxp computer just to format and print my output the old
way. Jim Hargan <noJimspam@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
