Linda-

I know. I politely argued with my professor (Remember, she was a Word 
teacher, and not that thorough at that.). I felt her class was more 
accurately a typing class- I got bored and tested out. She did not disagree 
with me that some words were not reserved, but she vehemently insisted they 
all were. We ended up agreeing to disagree. <g>

LOL. She told us what to press by sternly calling out the keys: HOME, HOME, 
REVERSE ONE, SELECT C.......  It was week before most students understood 
that Reverse [number] was a function key. REVERSE ONE = F1.  (Now try 
reading her lips, then looking at the keyboard to find the function key. I 
can type without looking at the keyboard except when pressing a function 
key. After she called Reverse, I lost it, I would miss something.) Her 
class was easy to get a head ache in!

Question for you Word gurus: If I make a table in Word, can I select a 
range in that table and name it?

Thank you.

Robert
