I meant to say "Word 97 does NOT have that problem anyway".

Applying the Excel workaround to Word to see whether it avoids the delete toolbar issue I raised would be a bit more complex than the way the technique is applied in Excel.
I made a first attempt at applying the technique with Word.
The technique, as I applied it, just further exacerbates the delete toolbar issue in Word.

Actually, the technique might be more appropriate to the problem in http://www.standards.com/links.html?SetReferenceInWordProject.
I've not yet tried this.
