Thanks, Anne,
I don't think merge would help. The tables are ASCII at present; each table 
has a title which I would like to center and use a different font. Some 
titles start in different lines on the page.
COBOL can be used to insert binary codes. I guess I will just have to figure 
out the binary equivalentx of the hidden codes.
