Why hurt Muslims' feelings with creative expressions such as Islamofascists? Why hurt Richard's feelings for his use of an innocuous political term? That term has no more stigma than calling someone a Democrat. You say labels hurt, yet had no problem trying to label Richard as an ahole.

Not that I know of. PDF is a rendered document format. Perhaps someone knows of a means of using PDFMark tags to do this, but I believe PDF is all-consuming, given the document is designed to be portable. On 10/23/06, Wei Jiang (PT_ORG) [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I just wonder if there is a way
