I imagened one would round downwards, though one could also use one decimal of precision, e.g. page 1.3 of 5, etc. > > Another possibility might be simply stating: > > lines 3 to 103 of 400. That would absolutley work. The downside is that you present 3 numbers, where you'd ideally want as few as possible. The things you want to know is probably only roughly where in the list you are and how large the list is. If you can give that information in two numbers instead of 3, then less processing is required for the user. > > -- > Frederik 'Freso' S.
