Haven't tried that. I do already make use of the header/footer, so I don't know whether that prevents use of this technique. When I get time, I might look into that. I do have a workaround for tables - I have a chapter type which has a single column, and save all the big tables until then. It's not ideal, but it's functional. -- Be seeing you, Games: http://www.glendale.org.uk/ Sam.
