"Text Markers?"

Thanks for your quick respsponse Lene, however, the received document appears
to have restricted access and the Alt+F9 option does not work. I will review
the two links you provided for additional help.

Thanks again,

Bob

The restricted access indicates that the document has been protected (most
likely because the fields are form fields – and a document must be protected
for forms in order for the form fields to work). I think you will find the
information you need via the first article I referred to in the previous post.
