Good Morning Cetin,

Thanks for the help, it works just fine with "InchesToPoints".

I've used the Word macro option to try some of these things out but it obviously doesn't always work.

I read somewhere that there was a book being written regarding using VFP with "word" and "Excel". That'll be a great help but, in the meantime I appreciate your assistance.

Thanks,

Jim Harvey
