Art, You can't loop in a macro EXTRACTing one paragraph at a time, because when you get the last paragraph, there is no way to know if you crossed a page boundry. The EXTRACT will grab the entire paragraph. You have to test the page and see if you have gone over and then back up 1 character at a time and test the page, etc. Loop, then a loop. This is not just frustrating, it is idiotic (also very slow!). Clark -|- Williams –O-o-O– Via George
