...not fear...of work, fear of screwing something up. I set up styles in a book (720 pages) that the author somehow accidentally changed before sending it to proof. Chapter heads came out 8 points, italic, centered, Times New Roman when they should have been 18 points, bold, left aligned, Garamond. Fortunately we were able to correct it before it went to press but that COULD have been a VERY EXPENSIVE nightmare. VB is worse because it DOES STUFF. Most of us little folk have no idea how to make it do the RIGHT stuff or stop it or correct it if something goes awry. Just thinking about it I'm quaking in my sneakers. Whew...gotta have a drink NOW! :) /g -----Original Message----- From: Greg Chapman [mailto:greg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]=20 Sent: Friday, October 24, 2003 11:22 AM To: mso@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [mso] Re: Word 03 and Styles Sometimes we fear nothing without cause and other times we blindly face the most fearsome things.
