Another suggestion from the book I mentioned is to help readers follow horizontally in wide tables by inserting blank lines periodically -- every 6th line, for example. The resulting 5-line groups are easy to follow across. I quite agree that dashed lines would be a distracting nuisance. -- Stuart Rogers Technical Communicator Phoenix Geophysics Limited 3781 Victoria Park Avenue, Unit 3 Toronto, ON, Canada M1W 3K5 +1 (416) 491-7340 x 325 http://www.phoenix-geophysics.com -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
