I've been experimenting with this and I have a couple of problems. I can't see how to use the same template for the md and for the individual chapters. For one thing, the md has a first page style and a default style, which I call Book First Page and Book Default respectively. The first has slightly different margins (I need a narrower right margin so my email address doesn't get wrapped). The second has a header for author/title and page numbering. The individual chapter files don't need a first page style. What they need is a Chapter Heading style with a page break built in and a Chapter Default style with first line indent. Both these styles have double spacing. One problem I have with the Chapter Default style is that, although I think I have configured it with double line spacing, when I come to text line two of a document newly formed from this template, I find it has defaulted back to single spacing. If you can talk me through this, perhaps offline so we don't hassle a lot of people with stuff they're not interested in, I'd be very grateful. //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
