Glad that worked.

It's always useful to use a simple example, to try and understand what you may or may not be doing right or wrong, and then apply that knowledge to your project.

Too often people try to sort the issue out with their original document and invariably mess it up further and get more confused.

One thing that might help in trying to stop Word completely taking over in 2007, is to know where you can turn things off and on.

If you click on the Office Button (Top left corner of word. it is a big circular object, just to the left of the Home tab ribbon), you should get a menu list.

If you look at the bottom right of that list, you should see an option called "Word Options". Click on that.

You should see a list of menu's and whichever menu choice you select, you will see a set of options on the right hand side, that you can use to make Word do, what you want to do.

Once you have changed an option, it remains in force for all documents, until you change it again.

Probably the most useful menu choice there, would be Advanced as that allows you to turn off most of stupid things that Word thinks you want, but don't.

Take time to have a look through all the menu's and you will probably be able to change a lot of automatic features, that are frustrating you.
