Re: Page layout problems

[Cameron Horsburgh]

Thanks for your reply.

Someone else on this list pointed me to the Page Layout section. I've 
been able to kludge together something that does the job, like you 
describe. Looks pretty good, apart from a few niggles. A little bit of 
playing around with these new commands might get me the result I'm after!

Thanks for your help!
