I found some excel examples that helped me understand how to convert some of the code. With MSWord open, I recorded a macro to do the task I was interested in, then I edit the code. I also searched for other examples and got lucky with one hit on the Microsoft Knowledge Base. I'm new on this site so I don't know yet where to post a large file with lots of samples in it.
