Jann, If you want to send me the file (as long as it isn't too large: <3mb) by private mail I will be happy to tell you exactly how the client made it, what it wrong, and how it should be made. You're in Grants Pass, OR...me in Folsom, CA. In just about six weeks I'll be spending the night at the Weasku Inn on a return trip from Portland. Do you know anything about the place...any recommendations for a nice dinner house?
