@jackie_w, I despair of not making myself understood, although of course I think I am being utterly clear -- the problem here not being that English not being my mother tongue. For sure, if we could "speak face to face" I'm sure you would save my sanity in no more than 45 seconds.
Look, I fear that in trying to re-explain what I need I will write more and throw in more noise/confusion. I read carefully what you wrote.
I quote you "found the need to learn a bit about both HTML/CSS and MSWord macros. The HTML/CSS was much easier to pick up. If you are expert in Word macros then learning HTML & CSS should be a walk in the park. Any time you spend learning HTML/CSS will not be wasted. The more you know the better your epubs will look."
i understand and agree but --there I go again no being understood -- if I try to learn about HTML/CSS now I will spend way toooo much time till I -- this is precisely where words fail me -- have a comprehensive view of the territory as a whole and NO NO

I cease and desist to go again this way

For now, I will only BEG (as in beginner): Please send one XTML page:

with stating that it will use a styelshett.css

and containing two tagged (h1 and h2) sentences like so:

I am a sentence tagged with h1 .
I am a sentence tagged with h2.

just this, PLUS the corresponding stylesheet.css
with the definitions of h1 and h2.

(I was going to write: I dont know how to write this simplest, lest we veer again off course)

Then after I test my ideas and they do work OK, I will write back to you detailing what I did, sending you the Word macro, and only hten, yes, we might compare notes and see if my proposed workflow can be enhanced.

Sorry. One's tone can be so easily misunderstood in writing. I thank very much indeed for you having posted your reply. you came nearest to fulfill my wish list. I read attently what you wrote more than once and indeed agree with each and every you said. Alas, at this point I JUST need this shorcut to build upon. Please reply ASAP. (In two days time I must go back to work from my vacation...)
