And another suggestion regarding getting markers into paragraphs of a particular format (assuming you don't use IXGen): Do a Find using the specific paragraph format. When you do Find Next, the paragraph is selected. Then Esc,s,m will open the marker box with the text already in it. But remember to click in the para before adding the marker, otherwise the marker replaces the selected text!

I'll just add that a work-around, if you want to sort the list you have, would be to convert it to a table, one cell per paragraph, and then sort the table. It's a maintenance headache of course, nothing automated about it, but it would accomplish what you ask. best, -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited Toronto, ON, Canada +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 srogers phoenix-geophysics com If it makes things work more easily, why isn't it called lubrican? _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to Framers as Roger_Shuttleworth at tvworks.com.
