Thanks, Gary. As I mentioned in my original post on this thread, I'm not a programmer. I think I understand what this does, but from your description, not the code. As I understand it eliminates all text except the number of lines. I want to eliminate the number of lines and keep the text from the first line of the fold. And I have absolutely no idea how to go about revising the code to make it do what I want.
Thanks again nevertheless.
Sincerely,
