I set up a test file as above and it behaved as expected. I noticed that the errors produced from the original file waffled on about line errors. Trying this and that to see what would work I preceded the text in brackets with the \sloppy line break command and all was well. Am I fully conversant with what the problem was and how my solution fixed it? - Nope. Am I going to take the time and trouble to investigate? - Nah. Am I going to declare victory and move on? - Youbettcha. Cheers Ross Drummond
