I don't use names or index numbers for documents, although you can do it
this way...
I use pointers or object variables pointing to documents (or their windows)

Exmpl

set doc1 = documents.add
set doc20 = documents.open("c:\temp\transscript.doc")

'regardless how many documents are open, below line will never fail
'when it comes to localising either source- or destination document
'and you don't need names to do so ...

doc1.content = doc20.content

But again, as stated, you can also use the names and or index numbers to
identify the documents.

That's perfect Perry.  Thank you so much!
