Thank you for being so patient with me.

Although I've never been a programmer, I used to love DOS Macros in Word Perfect as against Word. Where I worked in Cyprus for a legal firm of maritime lawyers, we used to send out about 700 invoices to shipping companies for using our office as their registered office, amongst other things. There were about 50 different precedents and I managed to work out how to write a DOS IF statement in merge to substitute one of these 50 precedents depending on what was put in the first field. I could churn out 700 invoices in seconds, once I'd completed the variable information.

I have turned off my smart punctuation and will try what you say when I return from going into town this morning.
