Linked text question

[Mark Swindell]

Tom,

That sounds like a good solution.  Thanks.  I don't do custom 
properties very well yet ... let's say I had 20 sets of such grouped 
sets of words in three separate fields.  What might be the most 
efficient container system to hold these groups?  Instinctively I'd 
just put them in 20 hidden fields and reference those, but that's 
probably not the cleanest solution (though it might be the easiest to 
manage and edit).

Thanks,
Mark
