Sure, it's not that hard. I've got a macro all ready for that, part of a
collection I put together a couple of years ago. I hadn't put it online
because there were various improvements I wanted to make, but someone else
has put them on the web (whether I'm ready or not!). So, go to
http://www.frydrych.freeserve.co.uk/rtl/w97.html and download the macros
package from there.
