No I haven't. Thank you. I must go to that word.mvps.org FAQ Errors link (I
see it was included in Charles Kenyon's very helpful FAQ posting 13th Sep
which I have saved but not got round to using yet) I am sure many of my
other queries will then be answered. Although I have been using Word97 for
five years & had very few problems, this last year these various irritating
error messages have been appearing usually when exiting after working on an
ongoing document.
