John,
May have jumped in a bit fast there. You know how it is? You press the
send button and then realise that he could have meant the other thing
... the one where the previous writer used Body Text, indented 1 cm, +
Font - Arial, Bold, Justified; and then wanted it underlined some times
instead of bold, yada....
I've now just created a new template for all my docs and resorted to cut
and paste, less the final paragraph mark. Probably just as long winded,
but at least you know you've cut down the options for it to go awry. At
least it wasn't 47 varieties of Normal. That would be serious!
Best regards,
Ant
