Re[4]: Help: Find/Replace Bug

[Friedlander_Tori <torif -at- KSL -dot- CO -dot- IL>]

What's that old expression ... Once burned, twice .... At present we have our
manuals broken down into individual files (by chapter).  Somewhere in the near
future, we have to decide whether we will try a true publishing program or work
on something called reference fields.  I just can't convince myself to give
master documents a real try <shuddering at the thought>

Regards from the Middle East Where We Work Mostly When you Don't,
Tori

     There is indeed a Word 6.0c.  If memory serves, its not considered to be a

     two related to the use of master documents ... not enough to make it worth

     You are right about it being an upgrade, not a patch. 6.0c is (still?)
     available from MS as a set of disks, confusingly labelled 6.0d (the
     difference is in the distribution disks' format, not the software, which
     reports 6.0c).

     In the UK, at least, this upgrade is free to registered users, and yes, the
     master/sub documents feature is still broken. Word 7 is significantly
     better, IMHO.
