Didn't think so. Uh, Jim, help me out, okay?

1. Do you have an earlier version of Word than version 8 (aka Office '97)?
2. If so, record the macro in it, and that'll give you WordBasic syntax.
3. Did you find your WordBasic help file?
4. If not, then how the heck are you going to test this sucker? < s >
5. Seriously, I guess you could check John Harvey's site, or David Frankenbach for information on syntax.
