Blimey, how many web developers can you insult with a single sentence, spelling mistakes notwithstanding! No I don't want to control to the last pixel - I've been asked present using a non-standard font, no more - no less and was asking for opinions on the best/proper way to do it, whilst pointing out from the start that it wasn't a particularly 'proper' question. There are a few problems with pdfs in this case, like expanding/contracting menus, drag/drop, multimedia, etc functionality that it just can't do. Pdf's do not support a rich multimedia environment that web users expect these days. Is there a single website out there that is written in pdfs? Seeing as it would need a proprietary reader installed, I'd lump it with flash as the spawn of s*t*n for web design anyway. Personally, I'm very happy with 'a bit of CSS', although fighting Microsoft is a real pain. I miss an option to place text into columns automatically ( and obviously to load fonts! ) , but that's coming in CSS3. Steve
