However, I've hit a wall when there is more than one of the same name

I'm trying to write a macro in Word 2000 that will delete 20 odd
styles that start with the letters CS as I've recreated the template,

I have created some Word templates which contain several VBA macros
(sub/function) in common.
In order to make maintenance easier I have created a Global Template and
moved the VBA code in from the original templates.

In Word 97, is it possible to copy an AutoText entry directly into the
Clipboard, that is, without inserting the entry into a document and then
copying it?
I tried something like this, but it's only limited to 255 character:

I used to have some code for this, but it's out of date now.  All I need is
to have Word or whatever agent create a list of the files in a specified

 While (DatePart("w", FirstXDayOfYear) <> xday)

I have been spinning my wheels trying to figure out why I get an error on the

Cells(380, 1) = Application.WorksheetFunction ...

Is there a way to imbed a sound recorder object so:
When the user opens a template they have a button to "record"  the

I am trying to call some Word functions from lotusscript which uses the VB3.0
syntax of passing parameters in order (instead of the paramname:=paramvalue
syntax).
Where can I find the correct order for the Word method calls?

I am copying multiple blocks of text from a raw file to a Word file and have
to reformat them as I go. The macro consists of a number of iterations of
F&R, and is designed to run over a selection (believe me, this is easier than
grepping the source docs).

I created a 2002 Word doc that is (1) password protected - forms, and (2)
I've also applied a digital signature from VeriSign - personal certificate.  
Therefore the keyboard is basically disabled and the digital signature will
be lost IF a user were to do your basic File Insert ...
