To Nancy and Dom: O.K. I *will* have to define a "Table" won't I? Here goes: A table is a grid-based text and line object, defined independently from the rest of the document. Sort of like a small bit of a spreadsheet in your document. Normally the table can have both borders and internal divisions. It is *exactly* what you get in a printed document when referred to "table 2b". For example, in Microsoft Word I had a very fancy signature block defined in the first page footer as a "table", with a date object which automatically updated when you printed the document. There are lots of things you can do with tables. You can tell if Protext has them quite easily, there will be a command to "create table" and a reference to tables in the index. Really, this is a fairly common feature in high end word processors. Does Protext do anything like that? // -Karl \X/ Amiga and Autopilot: The *only* way to fly!
