Hi Jackie,

I tried this in one of the many files I created and it didn't turn out well ... but that was early on when I knew even less what I was doing than I do now. I'm going to try this again.

I can see that you may want each of the 4 lines to be styled slightly differently so I'll have a think about how you can achieve what you want with as few changes to your HTML as possible.
I think the way to deal with this within the text is to make the 4 lines "Heading 4" and manually format each of the 4 in each chapter.

Word for Mac doesn't have this option, but uses one that I think is similar, if not the same: "Save as Web Page/Save only display information into HTML." Still a lot of baggage, though.

I'm going to try the above as soon as I can, juggling my time with a web forum that also relates to our work.

Thank you, Jackie, for continuing with this!
