Hello Greg, Kevin, Jim and other R-help members, Regarding text spacing: Drew Conway published today a fascinating post about "Building a Better Word Cloud". I don't know if his function can help you (or if either of you might help him with his code). But either way, I think it's worth reading his post: http://www.drewconway.com/zia/?p=2624
