It's a solution, but not a great one. The normal way for pages to be laid out, at least from a word processing/desktop publishing POV, is to allow changes in format mid-page. Rather than proliferate pages, I'd rather have the ability to switch formats at will. For a simple instance, I'm keeping record of my weight, and I just changed the way I record it to be more detailed. This requires more columns. I now have a choice of starting another page for year 2005 or laboriously reformatting the entire page, neither of which I want to do. This is not the first time I've had need of rearranging columns while trying to keep related data on a single page of a multipage broader-scoped document. I think format breaks would be a feature that would allow more sophisticated grouping of data. The other alternative is to "go wide" - to just place the new data in columns to the right. But horizontal scrolling is an awkward solution to be avoided, IMO. p. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
