After rebooting and not using the Word macro, it still works. No idea what was wrong before, seems to be working fine now. I was able to duplicate the functionality of the Word macro with Powerpro (uses a couple of DDERequests). Unfortunately the Word macro demonstrated very little of the Ecco api.

Haven't figured out how to test that yet. Does it sound like something that would work with the plugin? Regards, Sheri
