<thanks to Lyris for making me do this twice>


And if you're not organized enough FROM THE START to do all this--as I certainly
am not--avoid Master Documents like the proverbial plague. They aren't,
technically, broken but in the wrong hands they will only end in tears. Mine
are the wrong hands. Steve Hudson (who is on the short list of people I adore
from afar) may be the only person on earth who uses them with joy. Certainly the
only person I know--but god knows, I don't know everyone.

The rest of us muddle through using RD fields. ;-) See Word Help under Field
Codes. Oh yes, and sign up for the Word-PC list
