N,
Check the original message which is message number 27116.
Writing temporary snippets is how I do it. You can also us the {}
brackets to remove unwanted outputs. The task is tedious but works.
Also helps to work in an open word doc and copy and paste from there.
A copy of the manual close at hand is always a wise idea. I've worn
mine out but you also have the option of online files and the program
help files for a quick reference. In case you don't have one there is
a users manual in the groups files section.
Best of luck,
Preston
