I've used this for a paper at a conference and people were generally very happy with my ability to do this. I've also defined glossary items for placing a template for figure references and table references and merge definitions into the document without having to type them. While it would be much better if Word would include something automatic like this in the next version (ha-ha), at least this works. BTW, it also does bibliographies but I use endnote (niles & acssoc) which I think is a great program for references. =============================================================================== |Curt Stevens (303) 492-1218 | / |arpa: stevens@boulder.colorado.edu| |University of Colorado at Boulder | o o |uucp:{ncar|nbires}!boulder!stevens| |Computer Science Dept.
