Thanks Susie, for your ideas on modifying styles.  Think I'll try that once
I get this deadline met.

But one thing that puzzles me is where the runovers are to go.  When they go
back to the left-hand margin and there is only one word, then an entire line
is wasted.  Guess that's why I was thinking of the style where I indent to
cell 3 and begin the text right after the title.  So all this will give me
something to play with.

My challenge for today, though, is that I have this Fund-Raising document
that was given to me for translation and it is a real _mess!!!!!  It's
underlined strangely and it's just a total wreck.  Thing is the folks who do
these are supposed to know how to use Word styles but then they try to get
fancy and translate tables into text and then there's a real mess!!  It'll
probably take me half the day just to figure it out.  So please wish me
luck.  I'm sure maybe there are easier ways to do some of this but I just
have to fly by the seat of my pants so to speak.

Deb, I see only three heading styles and [H2] and [h3] both include a
[ind5] code, which means they will be indented further than you want.
And now for the challenge of next week:  why don't you create a style
that does what you want?  There will be those on this list who can help
you; to get started, figure out what you want to do and then find the
codes that do that.  You want to indent to cell 3?  That code in [ind3].
So that is one thing that would go in the beginning codes for your
bouncing baby style.  Then in the ending codes you have to put [ind1] so
you end up back where you wanted.  You get the idea.

Anyone else, chime in here, particularly if I am way off base.

Got a question about headings.  I won't be back until Tuesday but will
appreciate any help.

I'm doing a document with several different heading styles.  I've been
trying to experiment using the headings under F8.  But maybe somebody
can refresh my memory on this.  Isn't there a heading that starts in
cell 3, is italicized, ends with a colon, and then the text continues on
the same line?

The headings in the document start in cell 3, are italicized, and have a
colon after each one, but then the text goes to the next line.  I wanted
to clarify this as I remember that there was no blank line preceding the
headings that started in cell three and had the text continue on the
same line.

And then I wondered how Duxbury distinguishes between the headings that
start in cell 5 and those that start in cell 3.

Probably this is clear as mud but any help on the different headings
will be appreciated.
