   Scripting to word 2007 and calling the macros from there will be a good work   
   around.  But will be faster than the time I have wasted trying to get it   
   to work so far.  The fact that Microsoft depricated the DDE function was   
   reassuring as I was hoping for stability ie no changes.  That worked from   
   wn95 to now. My other workaround may be to call paradox routines running   
   word 2003 on a winxp computer just to format and print my output the old   
   way.  Jim Hargan  wrote:
