No, that's not my job. The first page is merely a front cover with the book and my details, then the pages should have a header with my name, the name of the book and the page number starting at '1'. Standard manuscript style, in other words. The master document is new for me since I began the first re-write, and quickly saw how much easier it would be to handle each chapter separately and incorporate it into a master document rather than using cut and paste or some method of re-writing a chapter in situ. //J --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
