Further on Gordon's suggestion: the header or footer should be able to not show the first two parts of the line on the earlier sections.

None of that should appear on the first page //James --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
