atw: Re: Word forms

That's a great idea Donald.  I think that may work!  I can not link to a
custom template because my template would live on a folder on our network
here in Melbourne and the forms are to be used in other offices in the U.S.A
etc.  I will try saving each form as a template and see how that works.
Thanks.
Ilana
