I see your point about different languages. Luckily, we're using WebWorks solely to create 508-compatible (accessibility) HTML, and there is currently no requirement to have 508-compatible doc in the myriad of languages into which we translate our docs, other than English. 

However, as a general rule, I agree with your assessment. The more specific a text-matching routine is, the less desirable it is. In this case, we're well-off, because it is a Frame variable we are matching, and writers should never change the value of the variable--no problems with spelling errors in this case! 

I'm not sure how your "No Output" option would work in this case. If I set the paragraph (tabletitle) to no output, then my table has no title, which is not acceptable. How could I use the No Output option to strip away only the Table Sheet variable? Bear in mind that minimal editing of Frame source is desirable here, as we maintain a suite of documentation for, oh, 30 or 40 products, probably something on the order of 150 manuals. Part of this 508 project includes the desire to edit the existing Frame source only when _absolutely necessary_. 

Thanks, 
Dave
