Hi David, I used to use a MMW setting similar to yours. Do you find the need to change this setting very frequently? Believe I picked up the zero-width idea around this list at some point but can't remember the reasoning behind it. Setting to zero has worked well for me since: no fuss, looks good and not overly-spacious.
Anyone else have a preference on this? Don On Thu, Oct 4, 2012 at 2:02 PM, David H.
