This is exactly what Im working on now. <g> First, theres a long thread on here, that was basically my tutorial by Max Dunn, do a search for database driven catalog. Its very similar. Also, as far as formatting goes, I would have it apply a style as it goes, like: (PSEUDOCODE!!!!) paragraphCounter = 1 text.insertion = field1 & vbcr text.insertionpint(-1)applystyle = "style" As far as slow goes, I suppose it is slower then importing tagged text, but not being familiar with that I can't say what the pros/cons would be.
