Thanks, Howard and all the other techwhirlers out
there who helped. We were able to fix this problem by
selecting the text *from the second word to the second-to-last
word* in the text within the field code *with field codes not
showing* (of course), then copying it and pasting it into
a new file (with our style template). We got all the pics,
all the styles, and all we had to re-enter was the first and
last words.
Yay!
Thanks again, all.
