Hi Judy!
I'm glad you're a "boring techie" as you put it. *smile* You have helped so
many of us on this list. I'm very grateful.
Blessings.

Hi Denise, thanks for the thought. smile. I could have made a macro to put
the steps into a one keystroke solution. However, I was writing these
solutions up for volunteers who may have different versions of Word than
mine and may or may not know how to take a macro I've created and then
install it on their Word.
So I decided that it's a bit safer to write up the instructions.
smile.
My husband and I are actually both pretty geeky, grin. He's the real geeks
geek, however, as he used to design computer chips for a living as well as
owned his own software development company before moving on to work in
statistics and theoretical mathematics. yeah, we're both boring techies.
grin.
