Or, if you are a true sadist, tell them that even in Word you have something called "field" (oh.."field"!! As in a software code!!)...<BR/>Sometimes it works. Try it. And they will start to ask you "How it was possible...?"Vilmahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00116573870085561197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7354171578524044422.post-68581762946036930312008-10-14T16:20:00.000+01:002008-10-14T16:20:00.000+01:00This is a common issue that most of us face.
