Hi :) Brilliant!! It's rare to see someone put that effort in to finding out and helping other people. Obviously there are a few people (such as Dan, Brian, Alex, Jay, Regina, hmmm, quite a few) and it's good to see someone possibly joining their ranks :) Nicely done! Congrats and regards from Tom :)

Sorry about that Dan (and Brian)! I trust you don't mind if I repost your explanation of how to use templates? Anne - Perhaps you'll be able to adapt it to your situation. There's some help in the help file - use "defaults;fonts" as your search string. If that's not enough, maybe Dan (or anyone else) can help you. Or, I could be wrong about the solution.
