Thanks for the tip VVA. I did the coding for '06, and didn't know about the new formatting strings. I can look into this, as I don't think it will be too hard to add to the function.
Chris,
This was in one way, a way to exercise the grey matter, and in another way, a way to give people what they ask for. People here like to use code when they code, and if you have to explode mtext through code, then you would have to use the command, this way you don't have to use any command calls.
