Thanks for the info, Michael. I have a few questions concerning what you've suggested: #1. What should I use to replace <br> as a multi-line separator? #2. What should I use to replace spaces (nbsp?) in images? #5. Is 12pt font size too big? If I understand what you're saying: fonts become user-specific to their browser/setup? (So, in effect, it doesn't matter what font I use?) Thanks for your help, Regards Andre "The windows of opportunity have performed an illegal operation . . ."
