Microsoft is suggesting OO?!?!?
Oh, wait, the openoffice link is yours.  That would have been a hoot to see
in the
microsoft link.

Thanks for confirming what I thought I knew, that MS had that /p switch in
earlier versions of Word.  Must be that innovation streak in them to take it

I got my solution now.  But I will definitely keep your post for future

Thanks,
