Thanks to all who enlightened me as to the meaning of "maggie".   I've
been lurking this list for a couple of years now, and while I remember
hearing that Word document informatoin is stored in the final
paragraph mark, I didn't remember that there was a special tech writer
name for removing it.  ;-)

Course, that could just be because I worked with FrameMaker for the
past six years and now I'm suddenly having to catch up on all those
Word tricks that I've been ignoring.

Just wanted to thank everyone again for sharing their collective
wisdom on how to manage Word.  This particular thread could not have
come at a more timely moment for me!
