Hi :) But does Access have all the formatting options available in Writer, or even in Word? Base does. It doesn't swap around what the Ctrl and Alt keys do either so you keep using the tools you are familiar with instead of going into some weird scary thing that keeps throwing curved balls. My request would be better integration and fix the mail-merges issue if any remain. Regards from Tom :)
